nginx dhclient-script

Attached is a script that generates resolver configs for nginx from DHCP data received by dhclient(-script). One example problem case that this solves on setups using dhclient: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.nginx.english/46277

Even though this does work out of the box (tested on CentOS 7 with nginx upstream rpms), the safe bet would be to just include it as %doc in the nginx package, at least for now. Let me know if you'd like me to do that and push a new rawhide build.

nginx dhclient-script

Ah, this stuff works also with nm-dispatcher due to its dhclient-script emulation. And it seems to care about the script exit status; this version avoids that noise on setups where nginx is installed but not running.

Hi Ville. Thanks for this but I don't think this really belongs in the nginx package, sorry.
Comment 3 Ville Skyttä 2016-06-06 05:53:35 UTC 
Why? Do you think it belongs somewhere else? Please elaborate.
Comment 4 Daniel 2017-04-23 23:18:42 UTC 
Ville Skyttä, this belongs upstream if anywhere.
Comment 5 Felix Kaechele 2021-04-21 01:40:05 UTC 
I looked into it and no longer deem this good practice.
