Open Source DNS/Nameserver App?

I don't know if this yet exist but it is not yet on Cloudron. It would be great to easily use your infrastructure that your Cloudron runs on to resolve DNS queries, or for you to run a DNS service for others.

@ericsanchez The AdGuard app does this I believe

AdGuard should work well depending on the use case.

I think a pure DNS server would be powerdns. There is also a admin UI for it - https://github.com/PowerDNS-Admin/PowerDNS-Admin . We don't have a package for this yet.

Adding this to my list of apps to package.

I'm running my own setup using PowerDNS Authoritative API for many years now, and I use the very simple PowerDNS WebUI. The entirety of it is a single HTML page.

I have it protected with Basic auth, after which the PowerDNS API route gets the X-API key injected automatically. That helps me to separate user auth from server auth.

When packaged for Cloudron, I would imagine the frontend would be put behind the auth proxy. That might be the simplest possible set-up. However, it would effectively be single-user in the sense that every user can see and modify all domains on the PowerDNS instance.

PowerDNS-Admin and so on would indeed be a good option if true multi-user is required, but also requires quite a bit more packaging and maintenance efforts. This package however seems to be in maintenance mode and is in the process of being replaced by a seemingly way more complex system called dnsmin.
