## Plugins

### dnsname

To re-create the DNS functionality of Docker the Podman community wrote the [dnsname plugin](https://github.com/containers/dnsname). It uses DNSMasq to enable DNS resolution inside the containers. To enable it, edit `/etc/cni/net.d/87-podman-bridge.conflist` and add the following config in the `plugins` section:
```json
    {
      "type": "dnsname",
      "domainName": "podman.internal"
    }
```
The `domainName` setting is added after every container name, e.g. `example.podman.internal` for a container called `example`.

You can find a pre-compiled version of the plugin [here](./dnsname).
