How I can configure my local machine to use a docker hosted dns server alonsside with ant other dns settings for specific domains?

fr flag

I have the following docker-compose.yml used as php web app local solution:

version: "3.1"

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:1.13
    volumes:
      - "./configuration/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro"
      - "./configuration/etable-local.key:/etc/nginx/etable-local.key:ro"
      - "./configuration/etable-local.crt:/etc/nginx/etable-local.crt:ro"
      - "website:/var/www/html/website"
      - "api:/var/www/html/static"
    links:
      - "php708:website"
      - "php72:api"
    networks:
      frontend:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.5
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"

  php72:
    image: php:7.2-fpm-alpine
    volumes:
      - "api:/var/www/html/api"
    environment:
      ENVIRONMENT: local
    networks:
      - frontend
    dns:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 9.9.9.9
  website:
    image: php:7.2-fpm-alpine
    volumes:
      - "api:/var/www/html/api"
    environment:
      ENVIRONMENT: local
    networks:
      - frontend
    dns:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 9.9.9.9
volumes:

  website:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: "none"
      o: "bind"
      device: $WEBSITE_DIR

  api:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: "none"
      o: "bind"
      device: $API_DIR

networks:
  frontend:
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 172.20.0.0/24

And in my computer that run the docker container I have the following entries in /etc/hosts:

172.20.0.5 api.local
172.20.0.5 website.local

But I also want to serve wildcard domains, therefore I am thinking to also ship a dnsmasq as well with the appropriate configs in my docker-compose and ditch completely the /etc/hosts (better reusability and shared settings accross team):

version: "3.1"

services:
  nginx:

    volumes:
      - "./configuration/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:ro"

      - "./configuration/etable-local.crt:/etc/nginx/etable-local.crt:ro"
      - "website:/var/www/html/website"
      - "api:/var/www/html/static"
    links:
      - "php708:website"
      - "php72:api"
    networks:
      frontend:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.5
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"

  php72:
    image: php:7.2-fpm-alpine
    volumes:
      - "api:/var/www/html/api"
    environment:
      ENVIRONMENT: local
    networks:
      - frontend
    dns:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 9.9.9.9

  website:

    volumes:
      - "api:/var/www/html/api"
    environment:
      ENVIRONMENT: local
    networks:
      - frontend
    dns:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 9.9.9.9

  dnsmasq:
     image: 'jpillora/dnsmasq'
     ports:
      - "53:53/udp" 
      - "5380:8080"
    volumes:
       -"/opt/dnsmasq.conf:/etc/dnsmasq.conf"
    environment:
        HTTP_USER: foo
        HTTP_PASS: bar
    networks:
      frontend:
        ipv4_address: 172.20.0.6
    dns:
      - 8.8.8.8
      - 9.9.9.9

volumes:

  website:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: "none"
      o: "bind"
      device: $WEBSITE_DIR

  api:
    driver: local
    driver_opts:
      type: "none"
      o: "bind"
      device: $API_DIR

networks:
  frontend:
    ipam:
      config:
        - subnet: 172.20.0.0/24

But how I can configure my local GNU/Linux machine and Windows to resolve the apprpriate domains via 172.20.0.6 alongside with any other domain?

In my linux mint 19.04 once I run ifconfig I get the following settings:

And the network that dns is running is the: br-936b043d07ec but I am afraid that its name may change as well every time that I run docker-compose up (once I finish my job I frequently run docker-compose down).

Many solutions such as this one suggest dns resolution INSIDE docker container. ans this is not what I want but a way to have wildcard name resolution in a similar fashion I could setup local domains in /etc/hosts.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
