shibari

What is it ?

shibari is a collection of DNS tools for Unix systems, as an alternative to BIND, Unbound, djbdns or other similar suites of programs.

It is an ongoing project; at the moment, only a DNS server is provided (one program to serve over TCP, another to serve over UDP). Currently, it relies on the s6-dns library, but it aims to integrate it over time, and eventually completely replace s6-dns (which is a badly named software collection, because despite being written by the same author and with the same mindset, it is not part of the s6 project).

Why "shibari"?

There's a de facto tradition that DNS software should have a name related to binding. shibari is the most pleasant of them.

Installation

Requirements

A POSIX-compliant system with a standard C development environment
GNU make, version 3.81 or later
skalibs version 2.14.3.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the skalibs library.
s6 version 2.13.1.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the s6 library. That library is used for the access control and client location features in shibari-server-udp.
(for now) s6-dns version 2.4.0.0 or later. It's a build-time requirement. It's also a run-time requirement if you link against the shared version of the s6-dns library.
