DNS Generation Scripts

Introduction

The respective shell scripts contained within this directory can be utilised to generate application specific compliant configuration which can be utilised with:

• Dnsmasq
• Unbound

Usage

1. Copy config.example.json to config.json.
2. Modify config.json to include your Cacheserver's IP(s) and the CDNs you plan to cache. The following example assumes a single shared Cacheserver IP:

{
  "ips": {
    "generic":	["10.10.10.200"]
  },
  "cache_domains": {
    "blizzard":     "generic",
    "epicgames":    "generic",
    "nintendo":     "generic",
    "origin":       "generic",
    "riot":         "generic",
    "sony":         "generic",
    "steam":        "generic",
    "uplay":        "generic",
    "wsus":         "generic"
  }
}

3. Run generation script relative to your DNS implementation: bash create-dnsmasq.sh.
4. Copy files from output/{dnsmasq,unbound}/* to the respective locations for Dnsmasq/Unbound.
5. Restart Dnsmasq or Unbound.

Notes for Dnsmasq users

This also applies to users utilising the script alongside Pi-hole.

If utilising the create-dnsmasq.sh the generation script will create a lancache.conf which also loads in the respective *.hosts files.

The lancache.conf should be copied into the /etc/dnsmasq.d/ location but also will need to be modified to point to the respective location of the *.hosts files.

You can copy the *.hosts file to any location other than /etc/dnsmasq.d/ as this location is utilised only for *.conf files.

For example if utilising Pi-hole a user can copy the *.hosts files to /etc/pihole/ and modify the lancache.conf with the following command, prior to copying it to /etc/dnsmasq.d/: sed -i 's/dnsmasq\/hosts/pihole/g' output/dnsmasq/lancache.conf
