docksal: Debian does not see Docksal hosts

I have clean Docksal after installing on clean Debian Stretch. I forced to add my host to /etc/hosts, because there is "Server DNS address could not be found” without it.

It is not the big problem for me, but some service host does not work in Behat testing (Selenium, Browser?) and I still cannot recognize what DNS Behat needs.

How to befriends Docksal and Debian concerning the automatic recognition of all DNS.

@acouch ERROR: The upstream DNS server (127.0.1.1) is not reachable. has been discussed in https://github.com/docksal/docksal/issues/770 and should be addressed in the next release Docksal (1.11.0).

For now, you can use DOCKSAL_DNS_UPSTREAM=8.8.8.8 (Google DNS) or any other external DNS service you can/want to use. Using 192.168.1.1 (looks to be your network router) as the upstream DNS would bind you to the current network configuration, which may or may not be fine.
