This script depends on bash 5.x, and macOs ships with bash 3.x.
On an M1 Mac homebrew installs bash 5.x into /opt/homebrew/bin, which is not on
root's PATH, so this script fails as it runs as root when run via
docker-lifecycle-listener.
See Issue 2: Make the script work on an M1 mac for discussion of how to fix this...
docker-etc-hosts is a little service to update /etc/hosts with the names of your running containers, so that you can address them by name.
e.g., if you run:
docker run --name my-blog nginxyou will be able to reach it at http://my-blog
It works in conjunction with docker-lifecycle-listener
It can be installed as so: brew install mahoney/tap/docker-etc-hosts
You may need to restart docker-lifecycle-listener afterwards:
sudo services restart docker-lifecycle-listener
On Linux you will need to set up
docker-lifecycle-listener
manually and copy docker-etc-hosts.sh into
/etc/docker-lifecycle-listener.d/on_start/, ensuring that it is owned & only
writable by root.
On macOS by default you cannot address containers by IP address - you can
install Docker Mac Net Connect
via brew install chipmk/tap/docker-mac-net-connect to allow addressing containers
by IP address.
