coredns - pluggable DNS nameserver optimized for service discovery and flexibility.
coredns [-conf FILE] [-dns.port PORT} [OPTION]...
CoreDNS is a DNS server that chains plugins. Each plugin handles a DNS feature, like rewriting queries, kubernetes service discovery or just exporting metrics. There are many other plugins, each described on https://coredns.io/plugins and their respective manual pages. Plugins not bundled by default in CoreDNS are listed on https://coredns.io/explugins.
When started without options CoreDNS will look for a file named Corefile
in the current
directory, if found, it will parse its contents and start up accordingly. If no Corefile
is found
it will start with the whoami plugin (coredns-whoami(7)) and start listening on port 53 (unless
overridden with -dns.port
).
Available options:
-conf FILE
: specify Corefile to load, if not given CoreDNS will look for a Corefile
in the current
directory.
-dns.port PORT : override default port (53) to listen on.
-pidfile FILE : write PID to FILE.
-plugins : list all plugins and quit.
-quiet : don't print any version and port information on startup.
-version : show version and quit.
