Warden and Valet conflict

Valet and Warden both try to use port 53 for dnsmasq. Running both on the same computer requires a few changes.

Cannot start service dnsmasq: Ports are not available: port is already allocated

Option 1: Worked

# Switch to Valet
warden env stop
valet start

# Switch to Warden
valet stop
warden env start
warden svc restart dnsmasq

Option 2: Did Not Work

Not sure why this doesn’t work as suggested. Maybe something with ports.

Configure Warden to use a different port: Reference

Override Warden’s dnsmasq port (once)

Edit /usr/local/opt/warden/docker/docker-compose.yml to change the port from 53 to 5053.

dnsmasq:
  container_name: dnsmasq
  image: jpillora/dnsmasq
  ports:
    # - "127.0.0.1:53:53/udp"
    - "127.0.0.1:5053:53/udp" # GravDept: changed to ":5053:53" to avoid Valet conflict.
Override host resolver to use port (every time)
  1. Run valet stop
  2. Run sudo nano /etc/resolver/test
  3. Comment/uncomment the port line:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
# GravDept:
# Comment for Valet usage.
# Uncomment for Warden usage.
port 5053
  1. Restart Valet or Warden
