## Name
|
||
|
||
*corefile* - configuration file for CoreDNS.
|
||
|
||
## Description
|
||
|
||
A *corefile* specifies the internal servers CoreDNS should run and what plugins each of these
|
||
should chain. The syntax is as follows:
|
||
|
||
~~~ txt
|
||
[SCHEME://]ZONE [[SCHEME://]ZONE]...[:PORT] {
|
||
[PLUGIN]...
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
The **ZONE** defines for which name this server should be called, multiple zones are allowed and
|
||
should be *white space* separated. You can use a "reverse" syntax to specify a reverse zone (i.e.
|
||
ip6.arpa and in-addr.arpa), by using an IP address in the CIDR notation.
|
||
|
||
The optional **SCHEME** defaults to `dns://`, but can also be `tls://` (DNS over TLS), `grpc://`
|
||
(DNS over gRPC) or `https://` (DNS over HTTP/2).
|
||
|
||
The optional **PORT** controls on which port the server will bind, this default to 53. If you use
|
||
a port number here, you *can't* override it with `-dns.port` (coredns(1)), also see coredns-bind(7).
|
||
|
||
Specifying a **ZONE** *and* **PORT** combination multiple times for *different* servers will lead to
|
||
an error on startup.
|
||
|
||
When a query comes in, it is matched again all zones for all servers, the server with the longest
|
||
match on the query name will receive the query.
|
||
|
||
**PLUGIN** defines the plugin(s) we want to load into this server. This is optional as well, but as
|
||
server with no plugins will just return SERVFAIL for all queries. Each plugin can have a number of
|
||
properties than can have arguments, see the documentation for each plugin.
|
||
|
||
Comments are allowed and begin with an unquoted hash `#` and continue to the end of the line.
|
||
Comments may be started anywhere on a line.
|
||
|
||
Environment variables are supported and either the Unix or Windows form may be used: `{$ENV_VAR_1}`
|
||
or `{%ENV_VAR_2%}`.
|
||
|
||
You can use the `import` "plugin" (See coredns-import(7)) to include parts of other files.
|
||
|
||
If CoreDNS can’t find a Corefile to load it loads the following builtin one:
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
. {
|
||
whoami
|
||
log
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
## Import
|
||
|
||
You can use the `import` "plugin" to include parts of other files, see
|
||
<https://coredns.io/plugins/import>, and coredns-import(7).
|
||
|
||
## Snippets
|
||
|
||
If you want to reuse a snippet you can define one with and then use it with *import*.
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
(mysnippet) {
|
||
log
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
. {
|
||
import mysnippet
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
## Examples
|
||
|
||
The **ZONE** is root zone `.`, the **PLUGIN** is *chaos*. The *chaos* plugin takes an (optional) argument:
|
||
`CoreDNS-001`. This text is returned on a CH class query: `dig CH TXT version.bind @localhost`.
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
. {
|
||
chaos CoreDNS-001
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
When defining a new zone, you either create a new server, or add it to an existing one. Here we
|
||
define one server that handles two zones; that potentially chain different plugins:
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
example.org {
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
org {
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
Is identical to:
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
example.org org {
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
Reverse zones can be specified as domain names:
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
0.0.10.in-addr.arpa {
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
or by just using the CIDR notation:
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
10.0.0.0/24 {
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
|
||
|
||
This also works on a non octet boundary:
|
||
|
||
~~~ corefile
|
||
10.0.0.0/27 {
|
||
whoami
|
||
}
|
||
~~~
