Web UI for DNS for local web app managers

[random2314]

I am trying to test a local web app manager. It seems that it assigns a subdomain to each app. Suppose that the server's name is "apple", then it assigns something like "http://si4jaiajdf.apple".

In its manual, it says configure DNS like *.server.name but I cannot add such a wildcard address in Network->DHCH and DNS-> Hostnames. Searching Google, I have found an answer of aditing /etc/config/dhcp, but isn't there a better GUI way? That is, add/modifying DNS records within the web UI (LUCI)?

It seems that current dnsmasq and rpcd-mod-rrdns when I searched the software for "dns". What packages should I install or remove to get a web interface and maybe a better DNS?

Use the Addresses setting in the general DHCP & DNS configuration:

Domains are automatically treated as wildcard by dnsmasq:

root@er-x:~# nslookup meli.company.com
Server:		127.0.0.1
Address:	127.0.0.1:53

Name:	meli.company.com
Address: 1.2.3.4

Non-authoritative answer:

root@er-x:~# nslookup foo.meli.company.com
Server:		127.0.0.1
Address:	127.0.0.1:53

Name:	foo.meli.company.com
Address: 1.2.3.4

Non-authoritative answer:

root@er-x:~# nslookup foo.bar.meli.company.com
Server:		127.0.0.1
Address:	127.0.0.1:53

Name:	foo.bar.meli.company.com
Address: 1.2.3.4

Non-authoritative answer:

root@er-x:~#

For this case, "Address" works but maybe I need more DNS address settings like e-mail, etc (MX or something). So, LUCI does not have a web UI for it, even with software packages?

Not yet, but MX config support was added just yesterday.
