Feature #1721
Using wildcard DNS aliases (useful for two HDAs on the same network)
0%
Description
Hi
I have two severs on my network one is my live server and the other is my test server this is vm
but I have use two Home Domain names like
live.amahi.net
test.amahi2.net
these are not my really names on my network
I have been trying to get the second web apps work by changing the dns setting on the live server to *.amahi2.net
but I was unable to change it using the web gui so just add amahi2 with the server ip address
then after that I used phpmyadmin to change the amahi2 to *.amahi2.net
this is what I change so in the database hda_production in the table dns_aliases I change the name to *.fs2.hom
now all my apps install and work, I don't have to change the dns everytime, I install a new app
if I install wordpress on both servers
wordpress.amahi.net
wordpress.amahi2.net
they both run from the hda menu
this is great for testing apps as the hda work like it the only one on the network with out a big change
you can run lots of hda on one network with no problems

- Tracker changed from Bug to Feature
- Project changed from installer to amahi 8 platform
- Subject changed from Using a second server on the same network to Using wildcard DNS aliases (useful for two HDAs on the same network)
- Status changed from New to Assigned
- Assignee set to cpg
To be clear, the IP is pointing to the IP of the second HDA.
We just need to allow aliases. We have to do this carefully, or the DNS server could break if we just allow anything in and the user inputs junk. Once we lose the DNS server, things can go south pretty quickly.

I have just install one more server for testing this will be my third server, the only problem I have now that I am unable to see the shares as they are all call HDA, How do I change the root share name to hda2 or hda3 , do I just rename the HDA folder on the server ?

I just had Idea about this Feature request can this be created a plugin that can be installed on the main Amahi server a page that can see the other servers something like this
Amahi server 1 domain Enable disable
HDA amahi.net
HDA2 amahi.net2
when the second server is Enable it will do the changes table dns_aliases I change the name to *.net2
it was just a thought and I am Happy to do any testing on the Feature if required
