Hi, I already tried adding the --add-host parameter to the docker run command of the mastercontainer, but this doesn't affect the hosts file of the nexcloud container. |

Hi, why would you need such a possibility? |

I have a mail server (docker-mailserver) running on the same host in another container. The mail server container is added to the nextcloud-aio docker network. Inside this network the mail server can be accessed by the host name "mailserver". Setting the SMTP server address in Nextcloud to "mailserver" or the IP address inside the docker network doesn't work because of the certificate, which is issued to the domain name "mail.xxxxx.tld". (Without editing the hosts file, mail.xxxxx.tld would resolve to the public IP of my server, but the SMTP port is not accessible) |

Hi, you can easily set up a local dns server by using one of the following guides: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one#how-can-i-access-nextcloud-locally and put the config in there as custom dns record for that specific pointer. |

@szaimen I'm not sure this answers the question, the nextcloud-aio-nextcloud container needs That's why people are asking for the possibility of adding lines to the nextcloud-aio-nextclouds own /etc/hosts |

This is also useful if the vps running does not allow for outgoing SMTP but you have a email server on the same host using an approved relay |

At the moment, the only working solution is to add a cron task to replace the hosts file in specific containers. These containers are usually located in /var/lib/docker/containers/container_UUID/. Inside the folder, you can find the hostname file, which allows you to identify the container and replace the hosts file without restarting the container. |

But it would definitely be better if there was a setting - extra-hosts for some containers. In my case, the server is located behind a NAT router, and when collabora-office wants to open something at my_domain.com, for example, it goes to the router's IP, which redirects the request to another web interface. This causes an error. |

Good idea, the CRON job host file worked for me. Hopefully the add extra hosts. |
