Dnsmasq

Setup and manage a Dnsmasq DNS server. This allows you to manipulate DNS requests. For example, you can have your Home Assistant domain resolve with an internal address inside your network.

interface options are for resinos based installation. On other system you can set it to "", for listen on every interface.

  "defaults": ["8.8.8.8", "8.8.4.4"],
  "forwards": [
    {"domain": "mystuff.local", "server": "192.168.1.40"}
  ],
  "hosts": [
    {"host": "home.mydomain.io", "ip": "192.168.1.10"}
  ],
