If your DHCP server does not include nameservers, or if you need to use custom nameservers that are different than your DHCP server's leases, you can configure an alternate DNS manually.

  1. SSH into your GitHub Enterprise instance:

    ssh -p 122 admin@hostname

  2. To edit your nameservers, enter sudo vim /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head.

  3. Append any nameserver entries, then save the file.

  4. After verifying your changes, save the file.

  5. To have GitHub Enterprise incorporate the new additions, enter sudo service resolvconf restart.
