Also note that we recently found that there was a limit to the length of the hosts file lines, so the user could potentially need to add multiple lines. This will make it more difficult to verify the exact hosts file lines. We'll also need to keep this in mind if we want to display the expected hosts lines in the instructions.
Note that the changes to #120 should mean that we will be better able to detect IP changes that could require an update to the Hosts file.
I went through Super.Human.Installer with @feather812002, and he ran into some trouble because the IP address changed for the VM, and he did not update the
/etc/hosts
file.NOTE: Currently
/etc/hosts
is not updated automatically because we don't want to prompt the user for Administrator permissiones. If we change this later, this issue will probably be unnecessary.My idea for this is:
Some options for the status check
nslookup
can bypass the hosts file, so this would not work.Here are some ideas for the data returned by the provisioner. If we want to support future provisioners, we would need a standardized format this output:
This isssue is not a high priority, and we could start with a simple implementation before adding some of the more complicated ideas above.
