Windows running instructions
Running on Windows
You can run DPS on Windows host without any problems except by two features
- DPS won’t be able to be set as default DNS automatically (instructions below)
- DPS isn’t capable yet (see backlog issue) to connect to docker API and solve containers
Start up DPS
docker run --name dns-proxy-server -p 5380:5380 -p 53:53/udp \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ defreitas/dns-proxy-serverChange your default internet adapter DNS to
127.0.0.1
- Press
Windows + Rand typencpa.cplthen press enter or go to your network interfaces Window - Change your default internet adapter DNS to
127.0.0.1by following the pictures below
Uncheck IPV6 because Windows can try to solve hostnames by using a IPV6 DNS server, then requests won’t be sent to DPS, actually DPS doesn’t support IPV6.
Testing the DNS server
Starting some docker container and keeping it alive for DNS queries
$ docker run --rm --hostname nginx.dev.intranet \
-e 'HOSTNAMES=nginx2.dev.intranet,nginx3.dev.intranet' nginx
Solving the docker container hostname from Dns Proxy Server
$ nslookup nginx.dev.intranet
Server: 172.22.0.6
Address: 172.22.0.6#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: debian.dev.intranet
Address: 172.22.0.7
Google keep working was well
$ nslookup google.com
Server: 172.22.0.6
Address: 172.22.0.6#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Address: 172.217.29.206
Start the server at custom port and solving from it
$ nslookup -port=8980 google.com 127.0.0.1
