Can't edit /etc/network/if-up.d/eQ3StartNetwork to add /etc/hosts entry

[simonbuehler]

hi,

in a very resticted environment ther is no dns resolver available so the route to a vhost must be set via a entry in /etc/hosts but gets removed on restart.

i can't edit the /etc/network/if-up.d/eQ3StartNetwork file to make it permanent (readonly), is there quick fix for this?

Converted this to a discussion thread instead, since this is no issue or bug. This is indeed the expected behaviour and you are not supposed to manually edit /etc/hosts or /etc/network/if-up.d/eQ3StartNetwork as this is part of the read-only part of the RaspberryMatic firmware. Thus, either use an IP or install/setup a local dns resolver.
