shibari
What is it ?
shibari is a collection of DNS tools for Unix systems, as an alternative to BIND, Unbound, djbdns or other similar suites of programs.
It is an ongoing project; at the moment, only a DNS server is provided (one program to serve over TCP, another to serve over UDP). Currently, it relies on the s6-dns library, but it aims to integrate it over time, and eventually completely replace s6-dns (which is a badly named software collection, because despite being written by the same author and with the same mindset, it is not part of the s6 project).
Why "shibari"?
There's a tradition that DNS software should have a name related to binding. So, might as well make it pleasant.
Installation
Requirements
- A POSIX-compliant system with a standard C development environment
- GNU make, version 3.81 or later
- skalibs version 2.15.0.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the skalibs library.
- s6 version 2.15.0.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the s6 library. That library is used for the access control and client location features in shibari-server-udp.
- (for now) s6-dns version 2.4.1.2 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the s6-dns library.
