if you have a line with multiple hosts: e.g.

127.0.0.1 project_a.local project_b.local project_c.local

and then run ghost add project_d.local, itll clobber all but the first host of that line:

127.0.0.1 project_d.local
127.0.0.1 project_a.local

When you are trying to add a host as a non-root user (or the user does not have write access to /etc/hosts), you get the following error message:

Cannot overwrite an existing entry. Use the modify subcommand

Instead of something more meaningful like "/etc/hosts is not write-able, try to run this program as a super user" or something.

I'm not sure whether this is desired or not, but calling Ghost.store.delete "foo" will remove all hosts with foo as a substring rather than just foo itself.

The effect of this, for example, is that if I have hosts node-1 to node-20, trying to delete node-1 will not only delete node-1 but also all of node-10 through node-19.

I'm guessing that as the argument to delete is called host rather than (say) pattern, this probably isn't desired behaviour?

I just installed ghost on Mac OS X 10.8.2. As the first thing, I wanted to check what ghost-ssh says with the list parameter. This is what I got:

$ ghost-ssh list
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ghost-0.3.0/bin/ghost-ssh:80: undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
    from /usr/bin/ghost-ssh:23:in `load'
    from /usr/bin/ghost-ssh:23

        from bin/ghost:81:in `<main>'

For reading, it shouldn't need exclusive access or anything except read permission...

Via a custom DNS server (DNSMasq?) or source (a la pow)

I think ghost is using ruby18-only case-when syntax.

Using something like https://github.com/bluemonk/ipaddress or Ruby stdlib's http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/ipaddr/rdoc/IPAddr.html

sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

This old code is awful and messy. The parts that are tested are done so in a brittle and silly way.

Rewrite all the code.

Hi,

Would it be trivial to add a filter so www.example.com and example.com can be added with one command?

something like:

ghost add (www)example.com

Hey there,

I use ghost on a regular basis. Its a great library, but there's one small change that, if implemented, would bring a smile to my face every time I use it: instead of ghost empty to clear all ghost-managed hosts, how about making it ghost bust?

I know it's a little cheesy, but a good pun never hurt anyone!

I'm not a ruby dev (I'm a designer) so it's unlikely I can make this happen myself.

Cheers for taking the time to maintain this library!

Hi, the current gem does not work on OS X 10.8.3, whereas the master does. Could we update the gem, too?

Thanks,
Robin

Is it possible to configure a host with ghost to see the hosts' virtual hosts?

trying to do a ghost add I get:
ghost:38: uninitialized constant SocketError (NameError)

(problem fixed in my fork: alkesh/ghost).

In OSX 10.7 (Lion), specifically, you have to put your entries ABOVE the line:
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

a few references:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/27415/lion-hosts-file-bug
http://thecoredump.org/2011/09/editing-the-hosts-file-in-mac-os-x-lion/

Not a ghost issue per-se, but I can't seem to get Safari 5.1 in Lion GM to resolve hosts configured with Ghost.

Firefox & Chrome load the local host without a problem.

Anyone else running into this issue?

Could you push a version with the latest changes, perhaps 0.3.x so we can get some of the latest updates/pulls in gem rather than git form?

It succesfully adds hosts to the DSCL but they arent' loaded when I type them up in the browser. How can I force ghost to use my hosts file instead?

It would be useful to have a feature / command that disables a particular host entry (simply comments it out in /etc/hosts).

Usage would be ghost disable <hostname>.

This way, you can still see the disabled entry in the list (perhaps with *disabled at the end of the line) if you want to temporarily remove the mapping from the hosts database. I know that personally I have many commented lines in my /etc/hosts file when I manage it manually, because I may only need the host entry when I am working remotely or when I am testing a new website and need to "pretend" that it is the live site.

For instance, given:

## -- /etc/hosts -- ##
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1   localhost

# ghost start
127.0.0.1       magento15.local www.magento15.local
#127.0.0.1      example.com
#127.0.0.1      www.example.com
# ghost end

The command ghost list would yield:

 Listing 4 host(s):
      magento15.local -> 127.0.0.1
  www.magento15.local -> 127.0.0.1
          example.com -> 127.0.0.1 (disabled)
      www.example.com -> 127.0.0.1 (disabled)

This is probably trivial to implement in /etc/hosts, but a bit more difficult on Mac dscl.

For example, if you have the following .ssh/config:

Host foo
  Hostname 127.0.0.1
Host bar
  Hostname 127.0.0.2

Host baz
  Hostname 127.0.0.3

And use ghost-ssh list, you get:

Listing 2 configs(s):
  foo -> 127.0.0.2:22
  baz -> 127.0.0.3:22

I would expect to see three hosts, rather than two. It may be better style to end the declarations belonging to a particular Host with a blank line but the "Host" keyword should be sufficient to demarcate entries. What do you think?

When running, I get:

/usr/share/rubygems/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require': cannot load such file -- unindent (LoadError)
from lib/ghost/cli/task.rb:1:in `<top (required)>'
...

It would be great to be able to set a default IP

But Ghost assumes that an IP can have many hosts, but a host belongs to a single IP. This isn't critical as most people probably use /etc/hosts with the same assumption, but still...

The toplevel constant Host is a collision-prone class name. For example, one collision happens when trying to use Ghost together with vagrant.

Would it be possible to change this to Ghost::Host or something similar?

I've just installed ghost (Ubuntu 12.10 with Ruby 1.9.3p194) and run ghost-ssh list:

ibc@myhost:~$ ghost-ssh list
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ghost-0.3.0/bin/ghost-ssh:80:in `block in <top (required)>': undefined method `length' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
        from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ghost-0.3.0/bin/ghost-ssh:80:in `each'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ghost-0.3.0/bin/ghost-ssh:80:in `max'
        from /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ghost-0.3.0/bin/ghost-ssh:80:in `<top (required)>'
        from /usr/local/bin/ghost-ssh:23:in `load'
        from /usr/local/bin/ghost-ssh:23:in `<main>'

In Safari mac 10.8.5, if you have more than 18 hosts on a single line, all hosts will fail to resolve. Not an issue in chrome on same OS. This is an issue more with Safari and/or OSX.

Could ghost have an option to always use a new line for same host addresses?

For example none of these will resolve in Safari

127.0.0.1 first.domain second.domain third.domain forth.domain fifth.domain sixth.domain seventh.domain eighth.domain ninth.domain tenth.domain eleventh.domain twelfth.domain thirteenth.domain fourteenth.domain fifteenth.domain sixteenth.domain seventeenth.domain eighteenth.domain nineteenth.domain

However if you remove the last domain they will.
