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. How about enabling it by default? I think all it would take is adding server=/lxc/10.0.3.1 to a file in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ and uncommenting LXC_DOMAIN="lxc" in /etc/default/lxc-net. Even if there's a good reason not to enable this by default, shouldn't it at least be clearly documented someplace obvious instead of buried in a system config file with a misleading comment that mentions the wrong dnsmasq file to edit? (The one currently mentioned by /etc/default/lxc-net does nothing on ubuntu desktop systems, because ubuntu's NetworkManager starts dnsmasq with a special config directory.)
