LocalHDS (Local Host-Domain-Switch) by Tamino1230
LocalHDS is a Python-based program designed to manage and automate local host-domain settings. It allows you to add, remove, and manage local domains and IPs, as well as generate Flask-based web servers with customizable URL paths.
- Domain Management:
- Add or remove domains and IPs.
- List all active local domains.
- Logging:
- View event logs.
- Save logs for later use.
- Website Generation:
- Add and remove URL paths for dynamic web server creation.
- Automatically generate Flask web servers and basic HTML files.
- User-Friendly Menu:
- Easy-to-navigate menu for selecting various options.
-
Requirements:
- Python 3.x
- Dependencies:
- flask
- requests
Install dependencies with:
pip install flask requests
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/Tamino1230/localHDS.git cd localHDS -
Host File Path: The default host file path is set for Windows (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). Update the HOST_PATH variable in the code for your operating system if needed.
- Run the Program (With Admininstrator! | Will not work when you only open the CMD (with admim) then File):
python main.py - Menu Options:
- 1: Change the local domain URL.
- 2: Add a new domain and IP entry.
- 3: Remove an existing domain and IP entry.
- 4: List all active local domains.
- 5: View log history.
- 6: Save log history to a file.
- 7: Add a new page (URL path).
- 8: Remove an existing page (URL path).
- 9: Show all existing pages.
- 10: Generate Flask server files.
- 11: Start the last generated server file.
- Website Generation:
- Add URL paths (e.g., /page) to define routes for the Flask server.
- The program will generate Flask server files and basic HTML templates in the templates directory.

- Some functions require administrator privileges (e.g., modifying the host file). Ensure you run the program with elevated permissions.
- Update the HOST_PATH, IP, and DOMAIN variables to suit your configuration.
Developers can set up local testing environments and map specific domains to their projects locally. Instead of using lengthy IP addresses, user-friendly domain names (e.g., example.net) can be utilized to enhance the development workflow.
The tool provides the capability to add or remove local domains, as well as an overview of active entries in the host file, streamlining domain configurations.
With built-in logging functionality, all changes are recorded and can be saved if needed. This feature is especially valuable in team settings or for audit purposes.
The program incorporates functions to quickly generate Flask-based web servers. Users can define URL paths, and the program automatically creates the necessary HTML templates and server files. This saves development time and allows for rapid prototyping.
Overall, LocalHDS is a versatile tool for developers who want to optimize and enhance the flexibility of their local development environments. It combines ease of use with powerful automation, making complex processes like host file management and local web server configuration much simpler and more efficient.
