It can be useful to create wildcard domains for local services. Rather than create one for each local service, a wildcard is easier. It would be easy to use dnsmasq to do this, but Pihole no longer directly supports that.

There are two options to get this to work:

misc.dnsmasq_lines

The developers of Pihole anticipated that we might have this very need. In the GUI, switch to Expert mode and then go to All Settings->Miscellaneous. Scroll down to misc.dnsmasq_lines where you can add individual values that will be injected into the configuration.

Add address=/.local.mydomain.com/192.168.1.16 for a wildcard. (The leading . is vital!)

Install Podman on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2)

This guide allows a safe and rootless installation of Podman on WSL2. Head over the hyperlinks to discover more about these two wonderful technologies!

This guide assumes that Debian 11 "bullseye" is installed as WSL2 base OS. To do it, simply open your Windows Powershell console under Admin rights and run

PS> wsl install -d Debian

After installation, please check that you are under the latest Debian. If not, please upgrade it.

I have recently come accross with a new solution to one of my biggest headaches in any linux system and it is to manage the nightmareof the dot files. I have previously used stow in order to mantain the symbolic links, but there is a much better solution using git bare repositories.

1. Creating the repository

Create a git bare repository with the following line

    mkdir $HOME/.cfg
    git init --bare $HOME/.cfg

Create an alias for a better managing of the configuration
