As reported in discussion forum[1], when clients connected via 'shared' network connection try to resolve the a static domain name configured in FreedomBox, they resolve to 127.0.1.1. Since this refers to client's own IP address, they fail to connect. In the previous version, this was not a problem because the entry was stored as <hostname>.<domainname>. To resolve this, store domain names in kvstore instead of /etc/hosts. Links: 1) https://discuss.freedombox.org/t/freedombox-resolves-its-own-external-name-as-127-0-1-1/3660 Tests: - Adding/removing static domains from Names app works. The order of added domains is preserved in the stored configuration. When adding a existing domain, a proper error message is shown. - Without the patch, configure multiple domains. They show up in /etc/hosts. Apply the patches and restart the service. Names app setup will run. Entries from /etc/hosts are removed and will be added to kvstore. The list of domains shows properly in Names app. After restarting the services, domains are show properly. - Without the patch on a version of FreedomBox without support for multiple static domains, configure a static domain. Switch to latest version FreedomBox with the patches. Restart the service. Names app setup will run. Entry from /etc/hosts will be removed and will be added to kvstore. The list of domains shows properly in Names app. After restarting the services, domains are show properly. Reviewed-by: James Valleroy <jvalleroy@mailbox.org>
