If you don't want to add DNS records manually for every project, you can also use the bundled
DNS server and use it's DNS catch-all feature to have all DNS records automatically available.
.. important::
By default, the DNS server is set to listen on ``1053`` to avoid port collisions during startup.
You need to change it to ``53`` in ``.env`` via :ref:`env_host_port_bind`.

Native Docker
=============
The webserver as well as the DNS server must at least be available on ``127.0.0.``.
The DNS server port must be set to ``53``.
* Ensure :ref:`env_local_listen_addr` is set accordingly
* Ensure :ref:`env_host_port_bind` is set accordingly
* No other DNS resolver should listen on ``127.0.0.1:53``
Linux
-----
First you need to ensure that :ref:`env_host_port_bind` is set to ``53``.
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: .env
:name: .env
:emphasize-lines: 3
host> cd path/to/devilbox
host> vi .env
HOST_PORT_BIND=53
Before starting up the Devilbox, ensure that port ``53`` is not already used on ``127.0.0.1``.
.. code-block:: bash
:emphasize-lines: 2
host> netstat -an | grep -E 'LISTEN\s*$'
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:43477 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:50267 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
If you see port ``53`` already being used as in the above example, ensure to stop any
DNS resolver, otherwise it does not work.
The output should look like this (It is only important that there is no ``:53``.
.. code-block:: bash
host> netstat -an | grep -E 'LISTEN\s*$'
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:43477 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:50267 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
If everything is set, you can edit ``/etc/resolv.conf`` with root or sudo privileges
and add the Devilbox DNS server line by adding a ``nameserver`` directive
which points to ``127.0.0.1``:
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: /etc/resolv.conf
:name: /etc/resolv.conf
:emphasize-lines: 4
host> sudi vi /etc/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.0.10
search local
.. important::
Keep all other ``nameserver`` entries intact. The Devilbox DNS nameserver will only work
once the Devilbox is running. If you remove all others and don't run the Devilbox,
you won't be able to resolve any DNS names anymore.
.. important::
The Devilbox ``nameserver`` entry should be the very first one.
If you now start the Devilbox you don't need to take care about manually adding DNS records
anymore. Auto-DNS is now setup working.
