OctoDNS is a tool for managing DNS across multiple providers. It allows you to keep your DNS in sync across multiple sources and platforms.
In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install OctoDNS on Manjaro.
Before we can begin, we need to update the system. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This will check for any available updates and install them.
OctoDNS is written in Python, so we need to install Python before we can proceed. Run the following command to install Python:
sudo pacman -S python
Pip is a package manager for Python. We will use it to install OctoDNS. Run the following command to install Pip:
sudo pacman -S python-pip
Now that we have Pip installed, we can install OctoDNS using the following command:
sudo pip install octodns
This will download and install OctoDNS and all of its dependencies.
OctoDNS requires a configuration file to work. You can create a sample configuration file by running the following command:
octodns-config init
This will create a sample configuration file in your current directory. You can edit this file to add your DNS providers and their credentials.
That's it! You have successfully installed OctoDNS on Manjaro. You can now use it to manage your DNS across multiple providers.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
