docker-dns

Run a dns proxy in docker with wildcard host support for Laravel Valet on Windows

This is intended purpose is to support Laravel Valet for Windows and Docker. Laravel is a PHP framework created by Taylor Otwell. The tld .test will resolve to your parked Laravel Valet sites. If you are using a differnt tld, then you just need to update the containers configuration file.

Quickstart:

Use built-in configuration

docker run -p 53:53/udp -d --restart always hickskp/docker-dns

Use user configuration

docker run -v /c/local-path/to/config/:/etc/docker-dns/ -p 53:53/udp -d --restart always hickskp/docker-dns

Optionally, give your container a name making it easier to manage by adding --name docker-dns or whatever name you like to the above commands. Once this container is running, configure your system to route DNS queries through localhost and you're all set.

Configuration:

docker-dns can be configured through the use of a file called config.json:

{
  "port": 53,
  "external_dns": [
    "8.8.4.4",
    "8.8.8.8"
  ],
  "fallback_timeout": 350,
  "domains": {
    ".test$": "127.0.0.1"
  }
}

Acknowlegements

Docker-DNS forked from christhomas/docker-dns who actually forked finboxio/docker-dns.

DNS proxy code shamelessly copied from hubdotcom/marlon-tools.

I certainly could not have come up with this solution on my own. Thanks for all those who have contributed above!
