[Skip ahead](#why-saber)* DNSMasq is required so that Saber can function correctly. Here's a quick guide on getting it set-up. For a more detailed explanation, I recommend reading [this article](https://passingcuriosity.com/2013/dnsmasq-dev-osx/). Install DNSMasq - this guide uses **Brew** ``` brew install dnsmasq ``` Open `/usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf` and anywhere in the file, add this line ``` address=/test/127.0.0.1 ``` Restart DNSMasq ``` brew services restart dnsmasq ``` Then test it by running a `dig` command ``` dig my.awesome-website.test @127.0.0.1 ``` If you get a response like so, it works! ``` ;; ANSWER SECTION: my.awesome-website.test. 0 IN A 127.0.0.1 ``` Now you need to configure DNSMasq so it can control the way the DNS queries are performed. ``` sudo mkdir -p /etc/resolver sudo tee /etc/resolver/test > /dev/null The SSL certificates are self-signed. If you added an SSL on creation of your app, or you made a mistake and want to start over, you can perform the reverse of this and remove an SSL certificate ``` saber unsecure ``` Upgrade ======= [](#upgrade) The images used to build your environment are often updated by the maintainers of the image, resulting in newer versions and secrity fixes. Normally to upgrade a version of PHP or MySQL it would take many hours to upgrade it manually or lots of tedious tickets or phone calls with your hosting provider. Saber will pull down the newest versions of the images you want to upgrade and rebuild the containers. ``` saber upgrade ``` Run the upgrade command, and you'll be presented with a list of images stored locally on your machine ``` Select images to upgrade. Select multiple by seperating with a commar, example: 1,3 [0] composer:latest [1] php:7.2-fpm-alpine [2] php:7.3-fpm-alpine [3] nginx:alpine [4] mariadb:latest > ``` Choose the image you want to update by typing the corrosponding number and the image will be pulled down and the containers will be rebuilt. If you want update multiple images, select the image number in a commar separated value, e.g. ``` > 2,3,4 ``` and those images will be updated. > Images cannot be updated simultaneously, they will be pulled one at a time before been rebuilt Uninstall ========= [](#uninstall) Not your cup of tea? That's okay, you can uninstall Saber from your machine - **but you will lose everything!** ``` saber uninstall ``` Contribute ========== [](#contribute) 🚨 I encourage you to help me make this tool even more useful! I will be adding more features to it over time. 🐛 There are bound to be some bugs hiding away that have not been counted for - help me get rid of them by creating an issue. ⬇️ Please, submit a Pull Request and help me make this tool even better. I'm looking forward to working with other developers on this. Contact ======= [](#contact) Feel free to get in touch!
