buzzkillb Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I am using he.net free dns for the setup of nameservers. https://dns.he.net Get a domain like denarius.guide for our example. The dns seeder nameserver will be dnsseed.denarius.guide Go to your domain and point it to the given he.net servers so he.net is handling your records. Lets add the first part. This creates dnsseed.denarius.guide. 86400 IN NS seeder.denarius.guide. Now lets point seeder.denarius.guide to our vps ip. This creates seeder.denarius.guide. 86400 IN A 163.172.157.116 Also can create an AAAA record because IPv6 is the future right? This creates seeder.denarius.guide. 86400 IN AAAA 2001:bc8:47a0:1933::1 On the vps side we need our dns seeder. Clone a seeder repo, get dependencies, and compile. This could vary depending on OS and VPS. git clone https://github.com/buzzkillb/d-seeder sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libssl-dev make -j2 Run the seeder for a while, and wait for the DNS to propagate. I also sudo apt install tor just because ./dnsseed -h dnsseed.denarius.guide -n seeder.denarius.guide -m buzz.denarius.io -o 127.0.0.1:9050 How to check if this is working. https://www.whatsmydns.net/#NS/dnsseed.denarius.guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzkillb Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I am using Scaleway VPS which only allows Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic for the cheaper plans. systemd-resolve appears to take over port 53. lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN and we see port 53 what I did to remove this was sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf then edit resolved.conf to this DNS=8.8.8.8 DNSStubListener=no restart systemd-resolved sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved save old symlink sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.OLD create new symlink sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf lets check if port 53 is there anymore lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN its gone, now go run your seeder and wait for DNS records to propagate through the internet backbone  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
