    172.20.0.1 routing-table=main

⁠Configuration Parameters

Below are the environment variables used to configure the network settings:

VariableDescription
DNSTAPThe first IP address of the local DNS server configured with dns-server.
DNSTAP_SECONDIPThe second IP address of the local DNS server with dns-server (optional).
ROUTEThe IP address of the gateway used for routing.
ROUTE_SECONDThe second IP address of the gateway used for routing (optional).

Note: Parameters marked as optional can be omitted if you are using a single route.

⁠Container Mounts

The container includes the following mount configuration:

add dst=/data name=storage src=/storage

This mount point (/data) contains two folders:

  • static
  • static_second

Each of these folders contains .txt files with static routing rules.

⁠Example Route File (.txt)
route 64.233.165.94/32 reject;
route 35.207.188.57/32 reject;
route 35.207.81.249/32 reject;
route 35.207.171.222/32 reject;
route 195.62.89.0/24 reject;
route 66.22.192.0/18 reject;
route 64.71.8.96/29 reject;
route 34.0.240.0/22 reject;
route 12.129.184.160/29 reject;

Note: You can include multiple .txt files in each folder. All valid route entries will be processed automatically.

⁠Applying Changes to Static Routes

After modifying the files in the static and/or static_second folders, it is necessary to apply the changes for them to take effect.

⁠Options for Applying Changes

  1. Restart the container:

    • You can restart the container to apply the changes.
    • This method will reload all configurations, but it might be slower and interrupt active connections.

  2. Using the container's shell (recommended):

    • A more efficient approach is to directly apply the changes using the container's shell.
    • Access the container via the terminal and execute the following command:
    /container shell 0
# birdc configure
