BindNineCore

bind9 web utility (auto config writing, dns management, etc)

bind9 configuration writer

WARNING: this does not keep your .named nor zones db. It will read the zones from the database on the Apply functionality.

It's written in C# (9.0) + .NET 5.0/Blazor.

The functionality is in BindNineCore, abstracted from BindNineCore.Abstraction.

The frontend is written in Blazor Server-Side (BindNineCore.Web), but it merely does anything but consume the API.

There is no authentication. You can build your own or integrate.

MariaDB is being used (please check the ConnectionString in appsettings.json.

This project is being used as a tool on my home environment, and I don't see any issues by using in a production environment.

Recommended Environment

A recommended environment would be inside a container, with a shared volume between bind9's /etc/bind9, then using the mount point on the appsettings.json

Missing content

I think CNAME is not working as expected.

At the moment only Aliases and NS are working. It is not hard to make all record types known by humanity though.

Templating

Please see the templating system (named.template and zone.template) as they are the configuration file template that BindNineCore uses to generate the final configuration file.

Default named template

zone "{{ domain }}" {
	type master;
	file "{{ cfg_save_path }}";
};

Default zone template

;
; Zone file for {{ domain }}
;
; The full zone file
;
$TTL 3D
@       IN      SOA     ns.{{ domain }}. root.{{ domain }}. (
