RESOLVCONF.CONF(5) |
NAME
resolvconf.conf — resolvconf configuration file
DESCRIPTION
resolvconf.conf is the configuration file for
resolvconf(8). The
resolvconf.conf file is a shell script that is sourced by
resolvconf(8), meaning that
resolvconf.conf must contain valid shell commands. Listed below are the standard
resolvconf.conf variables that may be set.
After updating this file, you may wish to run resolvconf -u to apply the new configuration.
RESOLVCONF OPTIONS
-
interface_order
-
These interfaces will always be processed first. If unset, defaults to the following:-
lo lo[0-9]*
-
dynamic_order
-
These interfaces will be processed next, unless they have a metric. If unset, defaults to the following:-
tap[0-9]* tun[0-9]* vpn vpn[0-9]* ppp[0-9]* ippp[0-9]*
-
search_domains
-
Prepend search domains to the dynamically generated list.
-
search_domains_append
-
Append search domains to the dynamically generated list.
-
name_servers
-
Prepend name servers to the dynamically generated list. You should set this to 127.0.0.1 if you use a local name server other than libc.
-
name_servers_append
-
Append name servers to the dynamically generated list.
-
private_interfaces
-
These interfaces name servers will only be queried for the domains listed in their resolv.conf. Useful for VPN domains. This is equivalent to the resolvconf -p option.
-
state_dir
-
Override the default state directory of /var/run/resolvconf. This should not be changed once resolvconf is in use unless the old directory is copied to the new one.
LIBC OPTIONS
The following variables affect
resolv.conf(5) directly:-
-
resolv_conf
-
Defaults to /etc/resolv.conf if not set.
-
resolv_conf_options
-
A list of libc resolver options, as specified in resolv.conf(5).
-
resolv_conf_passthrough
-
When set to YES the latest resolv.conf is written to resolv_conf without any alteration.
-
resolv_conf_sortlist
-
A libc resolver sortlist, as specified in resolv.conf(5).
SUBSCRIBER OPTIONS
openresolv ships with subscribers for the name servers
dnsmasq(8),
named(8),
pdnsd(8) and
unbound(8). Each subscriber can create configuration files which should be included in in the subscribers main configuration file.
-
dnsmasq_conf
-
This file tells dnsmasq which nameservers to use for specific domains.
-
dnsmasq_resolv
-
This file tells dnsmasq which nameservers to use for global lookups.
Example resolvconf.conf for dnsmasq:
nameservers=127.0.0.1
dnsmasq_conf=/etc/dnsmasq-conf.conf
dnsmasq_resolv=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf
Example dnsmasq.conf:
listen-address=127.0.0.1
conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq-conf.conf
resolv-file=/etc/dnsmasq-resolv.conf
-
named_options
-
Include this file in the named options block. This file tells named which nameservers to use for global lookups.
-
named_zones
-
Include this file in the named global scope, after the options block. This file tells named which nameservers to use for specific domains.
Example resolvconf.conf for named:
nameservers=127.0.0.1
named_options=/etc/named-options.conf
named_zones=/etc/named-zones.conf
Example named.conf:
options {
listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
include /etc/named-options.conf;
};
include /etc/named-zones.conf;
-
pdnsd_conf
-
This is the main pdnsd configuration file which we modify to add our forward domains to. If this variable is not set then we rely on the pdnsd configuration file setup to read pdnsd_resolv as documented below.
-
pdnsd_resolv
-
This file tells pdnsd about global nameservers. If this variable is not set then it's written to pdnsd_conf.
Example resolvconf.conf for pdnsd:
nameservers=127.0.0.1
pdnsd_conf=/etc/pdnsd.conf
# pdnsd_resolv=/etc/pdnsd-resolv.conf
Example pdnsd.conf:
global {
server_ip = 127.0.0.1;
status_ctl = on;
}
server {
# A server definition is required, even if emtpy.
label="empty";
proxy_only=on;
# file="/etc/pdnsd-resolv.conf";
}
-
unbound_conf
-
This file tells unbound about specific and global nameservers.
Example resolvconf.conf for unbound:
nameservers=127.0.0.1
unbound_conf=/etc/unbound-resolvconf.conf
Example unbound.conf:
include: /etc/unbound-resolvconf.conf
