Generate configuration

• Modify the conf-info
  The template conf-info is the dnsmasq-info.yml in unzipped confgenerator package.

    ls dnsmasq-confgenerator/
    confgenerator  dnsmasq-info.yml
  

  Modify the conf-info dnsmasq-info.yml. The meaning of each option see here. If you need to add more options to conf-info, just new a setting file and put it in dnsconf-dir

    # dnsmasq-info.yml
    dhcp-range: 192.168.0.5,192.168.0.150,12h
  
    dhcp-option: 6,192.168.0.1
  
    cache-size: 3000
  
    domain: powter
  
    local: /powter/
  
    dns-server:
      - ip: 1.1.1.1
        ports:
          start-port: 16350
          end-port: 16370
  
      - ip: 2.2.2.2
        ports:
          start-port: 16350
          end-port: 16370
  
    dnsconf-dir: /home/USER/dnsconf
  

• Generate the configuration directory

    python -m confgenerator.cli -f [conf-info path] -d [configuration path]
  

  • [conf-info path] : the absolute path of conf-info file.

  • [configuration path] : the directory path of generated configuration. (This is optional, the default path is $PWD/dnsmasq)

    e.g,

    python -m confgenerator.cli -f $PWD/dnsmasq-info.yml
    

    The configurations are generated in $PWD/dnsmasq/.
