Local Web Server


Add DNS Domains, Enable dnsmasq daemon

This will route requests to any url ending in .build back to your own computer. The goal is to use urls like http://example.com.build for development while you work on http://example.com

mkdir -pv $(brew --prefix)/etc/ && \
echo 'address=/.build/127.0.0.1' > $(brew --prefix)/etc/dnsmasq.conf && \
sudo cp -v $(brew --prefix dnsmasq)/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons && \
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/homebrew.mxcl.dnsmasq.plist && \
sudo mkdir -v /etc/resolver && \
sudo zsh -c 'echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolver/build'

#flush cache
sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache && scutil --dns

####Enable virtual hosts

This will allow you to serve folders under ~/Sites/ as websites.

  • ~/Sites
    • example.com
      • htdocs
        • index.html

to access this site, visit http://example.com.build

####Match production server paths

sudo mkdir -p /var/ && sudo ln -s ~/Sites /var/www

aww yeah
