RHEL7 - Set an alias/nickname for an IP to be access via firefox (without root)
by Plankt0n from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51941)
I've duckduckgo'd for this but unable to find anything that can help me out.
The scenario is:
OS: 7.5 (Maipo)
Firefox 60.2.0esr
I have webservers setup that I can access by IP only since this is a test environment with no control over dns etc. The amount of servers are increasing and browsing to them by IP is starting to get tedious. What I want to do is to set an alias. Just like on windows where you can edit the hosts file to point an IP/fqdn to another source.
The tricky part is that I dont have root access on the jumpserver. Is this possible?
For instance being able to typ in http://backupserver in the browser and it gets re-directed to 132.196.1.2 etc.
