What it does for you

DnsNM allows you to centrally manage and deploy your Bind9 DNS zones and records across your DNS server infrastructure through a modern, responsive Web-UI. The agentless zero-dependency model allows for quick setup and no 3rd party software dependency on neither your management system nor your DNS servers. No webserver, database or middleware setup; everything is built-in.

What it doesn't do

DnsNM doesn't take away the control over your DNS server configuration. You keep full control over your bind9 options while DnsNM manages a single configuration file that holds your zone information only.

Built by DNS Admins, for DNS Admins

DnsNM was forged as a simple tool to help IT Admins manage their DNS infrastructure without introducing a zoo of dependencies. The architecture and functionality was influenced by many years of experience in IT Operations.

DnsNM runs on many operating systems, including the most popular Linux distributions.
You can even run it on your Windows box right now. Ready?

Feature Overview

  • Agentless Config Deployment

    DnsNM uses SSH and the built-in SCP/SFTP subsystem to deploy configurations to DNS servers. No agent application required.

  • Snap-in Configuration

    Keep control over your Bind9 options. The configuration file deployed by DnsNM holds zone information only. The rest is up to you.

  • Config Flexibility

    Each configuration item allows inserting custom code snippets. Take advantage of rarely used or new bind features, even if the Web-UI doesn't support them natively.

  • Users & Roles

    Allow users with different role-based privilege profiles to access and manage your DNS information.

  • Active Directory Support

    Authenticate your Active Directory users through secure LDAP integration and map privilege profiles to AD users or groups.

  • Audit Logs

    Track and audit all user interactions and data changes.

  • Zero-Dependency

    No 3rd party webservers, databases or middleware needed. It's all built-in.

  • Modern UI

    Enjoy a modern, responsive, user-friendly web interface built with React and Material-UI.

  • More to come

    DnsNM was released as a first draft with a minimal set of features. More functions are implemented as development continues on a regular basis.
