dnserver's Introduction

dnserver

CI Coverage pypi docker versions license

Simple DNS server written in python for use in development and testing.

The DNS serves its own records, if none are found it proxies the request to an upstream DNS server eg. CloudFlare at 1.1.1.1.

You can set up records you want to serve with a custom zones.toml file, see example_zones.toml an example.

Installation from PyPI

Install with:

pip install dnserver

Usage:

dnserver --help

(or python -m dnserver --help)

For example, to serve a file called my_zones.toml file on port 5053, run:

dnserver --port 5053 my_zones.toml

Usage with Python

from dnserver import DNSServer

server = DNSServer.from_toml('example_zones.toml', port=5053)
server.start()
assert server.is_running

# now you can do some requests with your favorite dns library

server.stop()

Usage with Docker

To use with docker:

docker run -p 5053:53/udp -p 5053:53/tcp --rm samuelcolvin/dnserver

(See dnserver on hub.docker.com)

Or with a custom zone file:

docker run -p 5053:53/udp -v `pwd`/zones.toml:/zones/zones.toml --rm samuelcolvin/dnserver

(assuming you have your zone records at ./zones.toml, TCP isn't required to use dig, hence why it's omitted in this case.)

You can then test (either of the above) with

~ ➤  dig @localhost -p 5053 example.com MX
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
example.com.		300	IN	MX	5 whatever.com.
example.com.		300	IN	MX	10 mx2.whatever.com.
example.com.		300	IN	MX	20 mx3.whatever.com.

~ ➤  dig @localhost -p 5053 tutorcruncher.com MX
...
;; ANSWER SECTION:
tutorcruncher.com.	299	IN	MX	10 aspmx2.googlemail.com.

tutorcruncher.com.	299	IN	MX	1 aspmx.l.google.com.
tutorcruncher.com.	299	IN	MX	10 aspmx3.googlemail.com.

;; Query time: 39 msec
;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#5053(127.0.0.1)
;; WHEN: Sun Feb 26 18:14:48 GMT 2017
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 176

You can see that the first query took 2ms and returned results from example_zones.toml, the second query took 39ms as dnserver didn't have any records for the domain so had to proxy the query to the upstream DNS server.
