Configure DNS resolver

To be able to access bee cluster from the local machine, needed for tests and debug, we need to install dnsmasq and configure it to resolve whole .locahost domain as 127.0.0.1

Installation

• install dnsmasq

brew install dnsmasq

• configure dns to resolve .localhost domain to 127.0.0.1

echo "" >> $(brew --prefix)/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo "# Local development server (custom setting)" >> $(brew --prefix)/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo 'address=/.localhost/127.0.0.1' >> $(brew --prefix)/etc/dnsmasq.conf
echo 'port=53' >> $(brew --prefix)/etc/dnsmasq.conf

• start dnsmasq as a long running service

sudo brew services start dnsmasq

• configure system that for .localhost domain query dnsmasq

sudo mkdir -pv /etc/resolver
sudo bash -c 'echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolver/localhost'

Confirm that installation was successful with:

nslookup example.localhost

Populate /etc/hosts

• add entries (set REPLICA)

export REPLICA=3
echo -e "127.0.0.10\tregistry.localhost" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
for ((i=0; i<REPLICA; i++)); do echo -e "127.0.1.$((i+1))\tbee-${i}.localhost bee-${i}-debug.localhost"; done | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

• remove entries

grep -vE 'bee|registry.localhost' /etc/hosts | sudo tee /etc/hosts
