Add support for Bunny.net's new Bunny DNS service

[d19dotca]

It looks like Bunny.net (the awesome CDN) is entering the world of DNS hosting! Would love to see support for this added to Cloudron once it's ready.

Their blog post about it is here: https://bunny.net/blog/transforming-internet-routing-introducing-bunny-dns/

A public preview is expected in April 2022 (currently private beta until then). It will also be free to use (unless using their scripting too).

Were you one of the lucky ones that got picked? I'm still waiting for my spot to open up.

[d19dotca]

@humptydumpty Unfortunately not

[d19dotca]

@humptydumpty Just got the invite the other week by the way, but haven't started using it yet, will probably run it through some paces next week sometime.

[humptydumpty]

@d19dotca That's great! Please do report back!

Edit: BTW, please take some speed tests if you can. I posted some results here if you want to compare notes: https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/7190/dns-speed-comparison-dnsmadeeasy-vs-digitalocean-vs-cloudflare-averaged?_=1659930130113

I used DNSPerf for the tests: https://www.dnsperf.com/dns-speed-benchmark/

We got it some weeks ago as a partner, but API docs is pretty unstable already change 2 times, and we reported some bugs too.

Let's w8 for stable

@humptydumpty
I can say that, they offer a pretty good product.
Idk how it's working the normal DNS, but that one that we have as a partner is really good.
And it use standard DNS software so u can just mass import all your config.

@staff yay or nay?

[humptydumpty]

I just had a chat with Bunny staff and they confirmed that their DNS has a proxy feature that will protect sites from DDOS and hide the server IP (just like CF does).

[MooCloud_Matt]

@humptydumpty
is actually not the same, even if both they use Nginx, CF use a fork and is a lot more secure.
Bunny is amazing but if you want a WAF like CF go for stackpath

Why do you like Bunny.net? Not being Cloudflare is a big plus!

Yes but CF has features that you can't ignore sometimes, like DB and storage at the edge, workers, ...

We succeed in replicating some of those features, on Bunny but took a lot of time and money from our customers; that many don't have.

@MooCloud_Matt that’s exactly how i feel about CF. Their offerings are great if you need all those features. But for a regular joe like myself, bunny fits my needs better. I’m using bunny’s CDN, hopefully DNS once it’s added to CR, and their stream service for serving product videos on my website. I opened three tickets yesterday with bunny and all tickets got answered within minutes (5 mins was the longest). Competition is always good for consumers and having a smaller company with less features is a pro, not a con. Think of the many CF related issues.

I don’t see bunny stealing any of CF’s paying customers. Most are using the free tier and CF is losing money because of it (someone linked an article about it on here iirc). Meanwhile, bunny found a way to offer ultra affordable services while still making profit with their $1 minimum monthly charge. I tried to make this point to CR staff in an email last weekend but it seems my message got ignored lol.

I don’t understand why bunny isn’t being looked at by the staff. Especially when they’ve added smaller/niche companies to the API list.

Yes, durable objects are very underrated.

Thanks!

[humptydumpty]

@girish I've been a good boy this year. Really I have.. OK, I mostly have but I do make the cut on Santa's list and earned my gifts. Can we please get this done before year's end?

[humptydumpty]

@girish @nebulon Happy New Year! I’m calling dibs on your first task in 2023. Pleaseeee, add bunny to the api list!
