💅 dnsconfd-config — bestie's guide to changing up your host

ok so like. this is the dnsconfd-config page from the dnsconfd-config(8) manual, and it's literally just about ✨changing configuration✨ — of the service, or of the host itself. no biggie. sit down, grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dnsconfd config <command> [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the config command is your little glow-up button: it lets you change the configuration of the service or of the host. that's the whole vibe. slay.

🎀 COMMANDS 🎀

  • nm_enable — tells NetworkManager to use dnsconfd. yes queen, we're in the group chat now 💖
  • nm_disable — tells NetworkManager to not use dnsconfd. it's giving "we need space" 😭
  • take_resolvconf — changes ownership of the resolv conf so that dnsconfd doesn't need root privileges anymore. independence era ✨
  • return_resolvconf — gives ownership of the resolv conf back, so root is the owner again. we love a handback 🫶
  • install — performs all the installation steps. the whole routine, head to toe 💅
  • uninstall — performs all the uninstallation steps. reverse glow-up, no cap 🧚

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

  • -h, --help — shows the help message and then dips. iconic exit behaviour 👑

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

  • 0 — everything went exactly as expected. we ate and left no crumbs 🔥
  • 1 — an error occurred. it's giving chaos, bestie 😭
  • 13 — bad arguments. the arguments were not invited to the party 🙈

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

lowkey important hierarchy moment: environment variables have lower priority than command line options but higher than the configuration file. so like, options > env > config file. remember that order, it's the vibe check ⭐

  • DBUS_NAME — the DBus name that dnsconfd should use. default is org.freedesktop.resolve1
  • LOG_LEVEL — the log level of dnsconfd. default is INFO
  • CONFIG_FILE — the path where the config file is located. default is /etc/dnsconfd.conf
