#TIL: Making DNS queries with "getent". You know, it’s always DNS … But when working with (minimalist) OCI containers ( #Docker / #Podman) often the regular tools like "ping", "host" or "dig" are not present. Today I learned there’s a binary #getent that’s part of the C library and present on even very minimalist environments like Alpine Linux that can make DNS queries 🤗 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getent
