Lost in configuration

[Shahor]

Hi guys, I want to modify my dnsmasq entry but I somehow can't find the right way to do it, does someone have an idea how to do this ? I just want to add an entry, but I don't know how to restart the dnsmasq service, and besides when I run the boxen command again it overwrites my modifs :s

I asked on IRC about this but nobody's answering, so if anyone sees this, please halp :D (maybe this is the wrong place but I don't know where else to ask this).

I hear you - have the exact same problem. Starting to really doubt the overall benefits of using boxen at all. Too many issues keep cropping up all the time.

[Shahor]

Well, the real problem is not the product itself. It does a good job.

The real thing is that there isn't a community =/ That's a deal breaker

Finally I found out how to restart it: sudo launchctl stop dev.dnsmasq and then sudo launchctl start dev.dnsmasq Hope it helps...for me it doesn't seem to pickup my config changes...

[Shahor]

Yes I found how to restart it but I can't find how to make the changes in the config :(

This is seriously annoying =/

Thanks for the follow up anyway :)

I haven't done it the "boxen" way yest, only hacked the dnsmasq.conf file to include an additional address line. I also found out that even restarting the service, flushing the dns caches etc didn't helped when I ran Google Chrome - I had to disable the "experimental" internal dnsclient chrome feature before it all worked.

Hi @Shahor.

If your issue is dnsmasq.conf is resets after boxen command run, You can override dnsmasq.conf by this method:

in /opt/boxen/repo/module/people/manifests/{username}.pp

class people::nyarla { # `nyarla` is my account name.

  # (Abbreviated)

  require dnsmasq::config
  include dnsmasq
  File <| title == "${dnsmasq::config::configdir}/dnsmasq.conf" |> {
    source => 'puppet:///modules/people/nyarla/dnsmasq.conf',
  }

  # (Abbreviated again...)

And, I found this method in here:

• puppet-examples/inheritless-override at master · jordansissel/puppet-examples

Thank you for reading!

Thanks @nyarla !! Will try this right away.
