The Knot DNS Resolver is a minimalistic caching resolver implementation. The project provides both a resolver library and a small daemon. Modular architecture of the library keeps the core tiny and efficient, and provides a state-machine like API for extensions. There are two built-in modules: iterator and cache, and each module can be flipped on and off.

The Knot DNS Resolver is currently in an early development phase, you shouldn't put it in the production right away.

This is simple and doesn't require any dependencies or system modifications, just run:

$ docker run cznic/knot-resolver

See the build page registry.hub.docker.com/u/cznic/knot-resolver for more information and options.

The Knot DNS Resolver depends on the pre-release version of the Knot DNS library and other projects. See the Building project documentation page for more information.

The project builds a resolver library in the lib directory, and a daemon in the daemon directory.

$ ./daemon/kresd -h
$ ./daemon/kresd [working_directory]
