								## Description

								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 there respective manual pages.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								When started with no options CoreDNS will looks for a file names `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
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								overriden with `-dns.port`).
