Question - updating #101

Open geekcroft opened 6 years ago

geekcroft commented 6 years ago

Hi all,

Been using this for a while now - but I do have a question.

Is there any need to "refresh" the install - i.e. as additional DNS entries are added to the github - and if so, how?

Hi Geekcroft,

"Refreshing" the DNS entries is the only thing that is really mandatory as from time to time DNS entries are updated / added and if we fail to update / maintain these the lancache solution becomes obsolete. Its mostly updating the DNS entries and incase anything really changes on the lancache its mostly just configs that need to be "refreshed"

Hope you have enough info with this.

@bntjah thanks - where are the DNS config files and is there a process to update them?

bntjah commented 6 years ago

@geekcroft the DNS is mainly the unbound file or if you are using bind its multiple files. There isn't a process yet to update these regulary and maybe if I or somebody else here can find the time might be interesting to build a bash script that regulary downloads the unbound file from the github and updates it with the ip(s) used by Lancache

I am working on this but it could do the same thing just need it to pull down the new DNS file and update the IP's

I found this approach interesting https://github.com/zeropingheroes/lancache-dns/blob/master/install.sh#L44

Maybe this helps with the script.
