Go Language dns seeder for the Twister P2P network
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a dns seeder for the [Twister P2P network](http://twister.net.co/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is based on the original twister-seeder https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-seeder
|

|
## Installing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Simply use go get to download the code:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ go get github.com/gombadi/dnsseeder
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies are handled by the Go vendor directory.
|
|
|
|
|
Note: This means the codebase requires Go 1.5 or higher and use of GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There seem to be some issues with using go get so a process that works for me on Unix based systems is -
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
cd ${HOME}
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p go/src/github.com/gombadi
|
|
|
|
|
cd go/src/github.com/gombadi
|
|
|
|
|
git clone the repo into this directory
|
|
|
|
|
cd dnsseeder
|
|
|
|
|
go install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ dnsseeder -h <domain respond to>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An easy way to run the program is with tmux or screen. This enables you to log out and leave the program running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Command line Options:
|
|
|
|
|
-h hostname to serve
|
|
|
|
|
-p port to listen on
|
|
|
|
|
-d Produce debug output
|
|
|
|
|
-v Produce verbose output
|
|
|
|
|
-v Produce stats output
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An easy way to run the program is with the following script. Change to suit your system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOGDIR=${HOME}/goseederlogs/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ${LOGDIR}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# pass through the logging level needed
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
else
|
|
|
|
|
LOGLV="${1}"
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd
|
|
|
|
|
echo
|
|
|
|
|
echo "======= Run the Go Language dnsseed ======="
|
|
|
|
|
echo
|
|
|
|
|
${HOME}/go/bin/dnsseeder -h <host.to.serve> -p <port.to.listen.on> ${LOGLV} 2>&1 | tee ${LOGDIR}/$(date +%F-%s)-goseeder.log
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## RUNNING AS NON-ROOT
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typically, you'll need root privileges to listen to port 53 (name service).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One solution is using an iptables rule (Linux only) to redirect it to
|
|
|
|
|
a non-privileged port:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 53 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5353
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If properly configured, this will allow you to run dnsseeder in userspace, using
|
|
|
|
|
the -p 5353 option.
