I can add domain name manually to consul?

Hi Stefano,

Consul doesn't allow adding arbitrary hosts to its internal DNS server. If you need functionality like this, /etc/hosts should work well for a single node. If you need to serve arbitrary DNS records, one thing you can do is set up a general-purpose DNS server and configure Consul to recurse to it using the config argument "recursors". You can find more information on DNS recursors here: https://consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#_recursor.

Hope that helps!

Hey Stefano,

In some cases, you can use the “external services” functionality of Consul if it

fits your needs as well. Take a look here for a guide: https://consul.io/docs/guides/external.html
