echo "deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
echo "deb https://deb.knot-dns.cz/knot/ jessie main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/knot.list

Building from sources

The Knot Resolver depends on the 2.3.3 (and higher) version of the Knot DNS library, LuaJIT and libuv. See the Building project documentation page for more information.

Docker image

This is simple and doesn't require any dependencies or system modifications, just run:

$ docker run cznic/knot-resolver

See the build page registry.hub.docker.com/u/cznic/knot-resolver for more information and options.

Running

The project builds a resolver library in the lib directory, and a daemon in the daemon directory.

$ kresd -h
