Linux Manjaro support #446

Description

@yard-mschwartz

Hi,

When I tried to install the developer environment on my (arch-based) Linux Manjaro system, I encountered a few problems. I'm assuming one of these problems will be relevant for other Linux Manjaro users.

The installation process adds a series of {...}.local entries to /etc/hosts, but these entries are initially ignored on my system (and other systemd-based Linux systems).

In cat /etc/nsswitch.conf I have the following line:

hosts: mymachines mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] files myhostname dns

Because mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] is listed before files, the .local addresses in /etc/hosts are ignored. The suffix .local is special and is reserved for mDNS (multicast DNS). See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special-use_domain_name

Suggested workaround: rename .local to .test everywhere (/etc/hosts, project .env, project docker-compose.yml) and do a fresh install.
