I need to setup a dynamic dns on the raspberry pi. For this I have installed the dnsmasq
service. I have created a file with name home.dns
and below are its contents:
domain-needed
bogus-priv
dhcp-range=192.168.1.5,48h
dhcp-option=3,192.168.1.1
domain=home.com
dhcp-host=00:28:f8:32:44:a7,pi1
dhcp-host=b8:27:eb:5a:9f:7c,pi2
As I want this to work with dynamic ip address so I have not used any static ips. After restarting the service, it failed and showed error in line dhcp-range=192.168.1.5,48h
with this message dnsmasq: bad dhcp-range at line 3 of /etc/dnsmasq.d/home.dns
. How can I resolve this issue.
I want to setup a local dns on raspberry pi so that regardless of Ip address I can easily reach all the pi's/devices by their domain names in the network, like pi1.home.com
. Also, if it works, do I need to disable DHCP from my router. If is there any other option available to setup a dns, please point me to correct link/instructions.
Thanks
