Is there a way to populate "search" option in /etc/resolv.conf?

[xcore]

I looked quickly thru /etc/rc.inet1.conf, and it does not include "search" at all.

On the other hand, it seems like /etc/resolv.conf is staying more or less intact in-between upgrades/IP address changes.

 

Question: is there a way to specify search domain list from gui, or I just edit /etc/resolv.conf and hope it does not change?

It will be reset on the next reboot.

To make permanent changes, you need to add some script commands to /boot/config/go (but be cautious, dont break it else you would loose access to the gui!!!)

Thank you, I put a feature request for /etc/rc.inet1.conf

No need for a feature request, its jus a 1liner you can do yourself. The search option is only needed if your site runs on more than one domain. The own domain is default as long as "search" is absent.

Like (example):

echo "search xyz.com,mydomain.com,anything.org" >> /etc/resolv.conf

the go file is executed after everything is up and running (without the gui, that is started by the go file), so rc.inet1.conf has already run before.

(note ">>", not just ">" because you want to append to resolv.conf, not overwrite it totally)

The system is supposed to work over reboots and updates with no unintended configuration changes, that's the reason of the feature request.

 

Is there a way to specify domainname in the Unraid configuration? Because if not, I'm back to square 1, and if it's possible, it's clearly my bad for not paying attention. Please point me to the place where it's configured in UI in the latter case.

 

Please don't suggest putting FQDN into "settings->Identification->Server name" unless it's parsed and only host part ends up in /etc/hostname.
