Deployment

Scripts, utilities, and examples for deploying CoreDNS.

MacOS

The default settings will proxy all requests to hostnames not found in your host file to Google's DNS-over-HTTPS.

To install:

Run brew tap "coredns/deployment" "https://github.com/coredns/deployment"
Run brew install coredns
Run sudo brew services start coredns
test with dig google.com @127.0.0.1 and you should see SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)

To use CoreDNS as your default resolver (e.g. for your Wi-Fi interface)...

via CLI:

Run networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 127.0.0.1

or via GUI:

Open Network Preferences
Select your interface i.e Wi-Fi
Click Advanced
Select the DNS tab
Click the + below the DNS Servers list box
Type 127.0.0.1 and hit enter
Click OK
Click Apply

Debian

On a debian system:

Run dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b --target-arch ARCH Where ARCH can be any of the released architectures, like "amd64" or "arm".
Most users will just run: dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b

To install:

Run dpkg -i coredns_0.9.10-0~9.20_amd64.deb.

This installs the coredns binary in /usr/bin, adds a coredns user (homedir set to /var/lib/coredns) and a small Corefile /etc/coredns.

To config:

vim $(brew --prefix)/etc/coredns/Corefile

somehost.com {
 log
 forward . someip:53
 cache
 errors
}
. {
 hosts {
   fallthrough
 }
 forward . https://8.8.8.8:53 https://8.8.4.4:53
 cache
 errors
}
