Use unbound as an DNS-over-TLS resolver and authoritative dns server

March 22, 2020 2 minute read

In previous blog posts, I described howto setup stubby as an DNS-over-TLS resolver. I used stubby on my laptop(s) and unbound on my internal network.

But I’m migrating away from stubby in favour of unbound.

Unbound is a popular DNS resolver, it’s less known that you can also use it as an authoritative DNS server.

I created a docker container that can serve both purposes, although you can use the same logic without docker.

The source code was - and is still also hosted - on GitHub.

There are a few reasons for the move;

I was looking for an easy way to store binary releases. Binary releases aren’t supported by GitHub. There might be a solution for this at GitLab but scp to upload a release is more convenient.
GitHub is becoming too dominant.
I prefer a solution that is based on Free Software.
I was already using GNU savannah for another project lookat.

Have fun
