drophosts
Automatically updates /etc/hosts with IP addresses of peer DigitalOcean droplets.
Overview
drophosts is a tool that automatically updates the /etc/hosts file with the IP addresses of peer droplets within a DigitalOcean account. It simplifies managing hostnames across multiple droplets, eliminating the need for manual updates when IP addresses change or new droplets are added.
Key Features
- Automatic Hosts File Updates — Dynamically adds or removes entries in
/etc/hostsbased on the current state of droplets. - Peer Droplet Discovery — Identifies all droplets within the same DigitalOcean account to populate host entries.
- Inspired by Droplan — Builds upon the concepts of the droplan project for managing droplet networking.
Philosophy
drophosts follows a minimalist and automated approach to system administration, reducing manual configuration overhead for developers managing multiple cloud instances.
