Modifying /etc/hosts causing issues about netclient HOT 8 CLOSED

@purepani we have deprecated modifying /etc/hosts, rather you use the coredns container running along with other netmaker stack for DNS resolution on netmaker host entries
https://docs.netmaker.io/architecture.html#coredns

from netclient.

there is no workaround

from netclient.

Thanks,
I'll try and look harder for a solution on the Nixos side

from netclient.

@purepani I don't think there is solution on Nixos side. The security/file model doesn't allow write access to host file.
@mattkasun Are there any plans to integrate DNS management system instead of modifying /etc/hosts ?

from netclient.

No plans that I am aware of

from netclient.

@mattkasun so there's no chance of running netclient with dns integration on distributions like Nixos ?

from netclient.

Not with current implementation

from netclient.

One could still run a little DNS server, inside a VM, or even next to NM, that responds for whatever you want :-)
It would involve adding every host to this DNS, then pointing your clients to this DNS.

Dnsmasq is quite simple, and yet very powerfull :-)
