Whilst writing a blog yesterday on Docker, the way I address my Docker containers on my system was by putting 172.17.0.1 into my /etc/hosts which seems kindof crazy.
Ideally my named container “foobar”, would appear as “foobar.local” on my LAN.
How can I achieve nicely named container for DNS resolution? I know systemd mymachines in /etc/nsswitch.conf achieves this for its containers, but how does Docker achieve similar functionality?
I’m aware of --link but that’s between Docker containers IIUC.
Thank you!
