Hostname as Target instead of IP

Community Containers
1

I installed the latest community docker container in a new Debian 12 Bookworm OS (Debian running in a VM-VMWare, bridged to network adapter).

I can reach the web interface from outside via IP and all feeds are synced. Now I want to enter a new target, but instead of a IP, I want to enter the hostname of the device. Is this possible?

I followed the instructions in this thread but this doenst work for me. Greenbone cant find the hostname.

@ottelo_rbk I assume that you DNS resolution is broken. fix it and then it just works?

If you are not familiar with docker, then maybe the full host installation is better solution?

I now installed docker inside a Ubuntu VM, I gave up with Debian. But I use this simple/easy docker image:

Ping host name works in Ubuntu without using .local because I add local to dns-search via nmcli.

/etc/systemd/resolved.conf:
[Resolve]
LLMNR=yes
MulticastDNS=yes

nmcli connection modify LAN1 ipv4.dns-search local
nmcli connection up LAN1

But use a hostname as target in Greenbone doesnt work :frowning:

And inside your docker DNS resolver is working ?

I don´t think so. Do a docker exec and check is you can do a reverse lookup.
