Common workflow

1

Create a DNS domain

Create a local DNS domain (requires sudo):
sudo container system dns create test
2

Set as default domain

Make it the default domain for containers:
container system property set dns.domain test
3

Access containers by name

Now you can access containers by their name:
container run --name web nginx:latest
open http://web.test
DNS domains simplify accessing containers by allowing you to use memorable names instead of IP addresses.
Creating and deleting DNS domains requires administrator privileges because it modifies system DNS configuration.
