[Touch-packages] [Bug 1389954] Re: Make .lxc domain name resolution easier to discover and enable
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server Edition (the host) and running some Trusty 14.04 LTS LXC-containers in it. Trying to get this DNS-name resolution working I added in /etc/default/lxc-net the line: LXC_DOMAIN="lxc" and in /etc/dnsmasq.d/lxc added the line: server=/lxc/10.0.3.1 stanza, then 1. stopped all existing containers 2. run 'sudo service lxc-net restart' 3. restarted the containers but the DNS-name resolution does not work, e.g "ping mycont.lxc" or "dig @10.0.3.1 mycont.lxc" do not resolve to running LXC IP-address. Whats wwong, how to get this working? Should I edit the LXC-configs somehow or is there some other dns/networking/resolv.conf/dnsmasq/iptables/etc configurations that I should check to debug why this is not working? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389954 Title: Make .lxc domain name resolution easier to discover and enable Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The lxc package on ubuntu does almost nothing to help a user enable DNS resolution for containers via dnsmaq, let alone discover that it is possible.

Tried to follow the documentation on Ubuntu Server 15.04 with no luck.

Yes, lxc-net is called lxc-net in all init systems where the job exists (syv, upstart, systemd) Both lxc-net and network-manager need to be restarted (unless network- manager is smart and uses inotify to look for updates).

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1389954] Re: Make .lxc domain name resolution easier to discover and enable
This has been discussed before. I definately want to make things work as cleanly as possible out of the box. There are a few problems with doing htis though, 1) networkmanager isn't the only place we'd need to do this (most "serious" lxc hosts probably don't run networkmanager), 2) if we do this automatically then changes made to /etc/default/lxc-net may start to require more baroque changes elsewhere. We almost want a simple tool to administer all the network bits at this point.
