Hi.
Can someone explain me, what for is Local DNS & DHCP plugin?
Description is cryptic, and searching the forum shows no results.
Local DNS & DHCP plugin (dnsmasq) - what is it for?
-
- OMV 4.x
- raven66

Is a DNS & DHCP server.
Is used to assing same IP to Your devices based on MAC addres.
And resolve url like http://OMV.local or http://mynas.local And so on.
You can use pihole docker for same/simmilar use.
-
Uhm, still don't get it, sorry
Can I use this plugin to translate "192.168.1.4" to "OMV.local"? -
Don't take this wrong way but if you don't know what dnsmasq is for, you probably don't need it. Your router is most likely providing everything it does for you already.

Oh, no problem
I have no issue admitting, that I'm plain stupid in certain aspects.But I'm curious and trying to learn new things every now and then.
PS. my router does not have IP translation to human-string, I've checked.

You're right. Your router does not do IP to name translation (DNS).
However, on the WAN side, your router is set to (automatically) use the DNS server of your internet provider. Your internet provider's DNS server does the translation.

Yeah, sorry, let me rephrase that.
What I mean is, that I want to assign "friendly" name to my OMV inside my LAN. So, instead of typing https://192.168.1.4 in browser in order to enter web administration, I would like to type https://my.omv (or similar).
Instead of \\192.168.1.4\backup\ in file explorer, I would like to type \\my.omv\
And so on...
I've tried to redirect my domain on my hosting, using A or CNAME records, but to no avail. Then, I was searching through my router panel to see if I can attach friendly name to my local IP, also no luck.
Eventually, I'm trying to force my NAS to do this. That was actually my question regarding this plugin.

That's unusual, these are normally within the DHCP table on the router in relation to each assigned IP address, that was how my old router and so does my new one.
I have just disabled the DHCP plugin, but in essence this will add the hostname of the node (machine, iPad etc) along with it's IP address and mac address within the leases section, for static IP's you have to add the hostname, mac address, and IP address manually under static IP.
But to use the plugin you have to disable the DHCP function on your router. -

Cool! Thank you!
(I've overlooked static lease).Thank you for pointing me in right direction
-
But anyway, my Asus RT-AC58U does not eventually have this function

You can try to use OpenWrt as alternative firmware on the router.

OpenWrt is not yet supported on my router, as Merlin and Tomato. This router is build on some other chip than others.

Yes, it has DHCP, but not static lease with friendly names.
