A dynamic DNS server that brings octet notation to IPv6.
Read more about this project over at https://octet.zone.
Running the server should be fairly straight forward, so I'm just going to leave the help output here:
Usage: octet-zone [OPTIONS]
Options:
-d, --domain <DOMAIN> Domain name [env: OCTETZONE_DOMAIN=] [default: octet.zone]
-u, --udp <UDP> UDP socket to listen on [env: OCTETZONE_LISTEN=] [default: 0.0.0.0:1053]
-4, --root-v4 <ROOT_IPV4> IPV4 address to resolve to for the root domain name
-6, --root-v6 <ROOT_IPV6> IPV6 address to resolve to for the root domain name
--txt <ADDITIONAL_TXT> Additional TXT records to resolve (format: name=value)
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
If you want to use this as a "real" DNS server, you definitely want to change the -u option to run on port 53 and also the -d option to run on a domain that you own, instead of "octet.zone".
The -4, -6 and --txt entries can occur more than once in order to resolve the root to multiple addresses or to add TXT records whereever you want.
The format for the TXT records is name=value, so setting it to (for example) bla.octet.zone=asdf would lead to this response:
$ dig @127.0.0.1 -p 1053 bla.octet.zone +noall +answer -t TXT
bla.octet.zone. 3600 IN TXT "asdf"
