Add host.crc.testing to /etc/hosts #4410

Open bobbygryzynger opened 1 month ago

Related to #4398: because the host can be reached at host.crc.testing this should be added to CRC's /etc/hosts modifications. 

127.0.0.1    host.crc.testing

It is similar to this docker feature https://docs.docker.com/desktop/networking/#i-want-to-connect-from-a-container-to-a-service-on-the-host, I'm not sure this also can be resolved on the host? However, this should be relatively easy to do in our case, so why not.

@bobbygryzynger if host.crc.testing already available to consume in the CRC VM then why we need to modify /etc/hosts to have this entry?

bobbygryzynger commented 1 month ago

@praveenkumar I have some scripts that run both on the host and within containers on the cluster that interact with host services. It would be convenient to be able to use the same hostname in both circumstances and not have to set the value in the host's /etc/hosts myself. This would also help other developers setting up my project locally, by removing a manual step.

Can I work on this issue?
