Setup

What dnsmasq affects

  • The dnsmasq module install/uninstall dnsmasq package, configure dnsmasq to run the dnsmasq.service.
  • This module depends on the stdlib module that automatically installs.

Beginning with dnsmasq

include dnsmasq is enough to get you up and running, this uses the default parameters to run dnsmasq module. To pass in parameters specifying which resolv file to use, and local only domain:

class { 'dnsmasq':
  resolv_file        => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',
  local_only_domains => ['/sansovo.org/'],
}

Usage

All parameters for the dnsmasq module are contained within the main dnsmasq class, as well as in defined type dnsmasq::conf, so for any function of the module, set the options you want. See the common usages below for examples.

Using default parameters

include dnsmasq

Using source attribute

If you have configued dnsmasq.conf file, this can be done by the dnsmasq::source parameter, as well as the dnsmasq::conf::source attribute. Notice, when set the source attribute with non undef value, the other config attributes are ignored. If you use detailed attributes to configure the dnsmasq service, set the source value to undef, or leave it unmanaged.

The default valute of source attribute is undef.

class { 'dnsmasq':
  source => 'puppet:///...',
}

or

dnsmasq::conf { 'local_dns':
  source => 'puppet:///...',
}

Specify the resolv file to use

class { 'dnsmasq':
  resolv_file => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',
}

or

dnsmasq::conf { 'local_dns':
  resolv_file => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',
}

The title or name of the dnsmasq::conf definded type is part of the config file name, you can specify different name for multiple dnsmasq::conf instances, they group together to config the dnsmasq service. Do not contain white space in the title or name attribute.

Specify the local only domains

Queries in example.org domain are answered from /etc/hosts or DHCP only.

class { 'dnsmasq':
  resolv_file        => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',
  local_only_domains => ['/example.org/'],
}

or

dnsmasq::conf { 'local_dns':
  resolv_file        => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',
  local_only_domains => ['/example.org/'],
}

class { 'dnsmasq':
  resolv_file     => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',
  dhcp_range      => ['192.168.0.100,192.168.0.150,2d'],
  dhcp_enable_ra  => true,
}

or

dnsmasq::conf { 'local_dns':
  resolv_file     => '/etc/resolv.conf.dnsmasq',

  dhcp_enable_ra  => true,
  enable_tftp     => true,
}
