Prerequisites

Installing

Clone this repo:

$ git clone git://github.com/2ec0b4/DevBox.git && cd DevBox

Install dnsmasq with Brew:

$ brew install dnsmasq

Configuring Dnsmasq

Copy the dnsmasq example files and start dnsmasq automatically:

$ cp $(brew list dnsmasq | grep /dnsmasq.conf.example$) /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf
$ sudo cp $(brew list dnsmasq | grep /homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist$) /Library/LaunchDaemons/
$ sudo chown root /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist
$ sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist

Insert address=/local.dev/192.168.100.100 into the dnsmasq configuration file: /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf (near address=/double-click.net/127.0.0.1, for example)

Restart dnsmasq:

$ sudo launchctl stop homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq
$ sudo launchctl start homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq

Configuring Mac OS X

Send .dev queries to dnsmasq:

$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/resolver
$ sudo tee /etc/resolver/dev >/dev/null <<EOF
nameserver 127.0.0.1
EOF

Testing

Launch the vagrant box and wait until it is ready:

$ vagrant box update && vagrant up

Test the configuration:

$ mkdir html/test/
$ touch html/test/index.php
$ ping -c 1 test.local.dev
