Project SERVFAIL
Tools for DNS hosting
SERVFAIL is a globally distributed, community-run authoritative DNS service. It is based on PowerDNS with a custom web frontend to support multi-tenancy on the different primary servers. Ther is also a proxy provide for the PowerDNS API — existing tooling should integrate nicely!
The goal of this project is to challenge and improve upon existing DNS management solutions by taking different UI and UX choices which are not hiding the internals of DNS. For this to work, we are also providing documentation on DNS apart from running and developing the OSS infrastructure. Our main goal is to promote more decentralization of the internet by providing general resources on DNS, helping people get started and to encourage them to ultimately maybe run their own nameservers.
