Small DNS server which interface with avahi (perfect for Alpine Linux and musl)
Requires go 1.16 or later
go build
$ ./avahi2dns -h
Usage: avahi2dns [--domains DOMAINS] [--addr ADDR] [--port PORT] [--debug]
Options:
--domains DOMAINS, -d DOMAINS
comma-separated list of domains to resolve
--addr ADDR, -a ADDR address to bind on [default: localhost]
--port PORT, -p PORT port to bind on [default: 53]
--debug, -v also include debug information [default: false]
--help, -h display this help and exitBy default the server will bind to port 53 on localhost (not accessible outside the computer) and resolve any domain with the following extensions: home, internal, intranet, lan, local, private, test
$ sudo ./avahi2dns
INFO[0000] starting DNS server addr="localhost:53"
...Settings can be changed through command-line arguments or environment variables:
$ ./avahi2dns -p 5454 -a '0.0.0.0' -d 'local,home'
or
$ BIND='0.0.0.0' PORT=5454 ./avahi2dns -d 'local,home'You can also use the debug flag if you need more information about what the server is doing (probably overkill):
$ ./avahi2dns -v -p 5454
DEBU[0000]avahi2dns/server.go:14 main.runServer() connection to dbus...
DEBU[0000]avahi2dns/server.go:21 main.runServer() connection to avahi through dbus...
DEBU[0000]avahi2dns/server.go:37 main.runServer() adding dns handler domain=home
...Linux DNS-resolution is done by the standard library (through functions like getaddrinfo or gethostbyname), unfortunately musl used by Alpine Linux doesn't support mdns out-of-the-box.
However you can easily add this lookup through avahi2dns:
$ sudo ./avahi2dns &
INFO[0000] starting DNS server addr="localhost:53"
$ docker run --rm --entrypoint ash --net=host alpine -c 'apk add iputils && echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf && ping your-name-host.local'

Note: avahi2dns is run as a background job for the sake of demonstration, you should really run it through systemd or similar
