DNSvizor options

The options we pass to DNSvizor can be put into three overall categories:

• Mirage options,
• DNSvizor options,
• Dnsmasq-compatible options.

All options with a description can be listed by running DNSvizor with --help as argument. The options are then printed to stdout. Note that you still need to pass a network device to solo5-hvt.

Mirage options

These options relate to MirageOS, the library operating system used to build DNSvizor. Important options are --help, network options and log options:

Mirage network options

Notable options are:

• --ipv4=<PREFIX>
• --ipv4-gateway=<IP>
• --ipv4-only={true|false} There are as well IPv6 options. See the --help output for more information.

DNSvizor options

DNSvizor strives for a degree of compatibility with Dnsmasq. Thus most options are Dnsmasq-compatible. See the section further down for information on those. The non-dnsmasq-compatible options are:

• --name=<name> which would be equivalent of the hostname of a Dnsmasq setup - that is, the hostname you would find in /etc/hostname on a *NIX system.
• --https-port=<port> the port for the DNSvizor https web interface.
• --ca-seed=<base64-seed> is the seed to generate the self-signed certificate from for the DNSvizor web interface.
• --dns-block=<hostname> adds hostname to the DNS block list.
• --dns-blocklist-url=<url> adds url to the list of DNS block list sources to fetch.
• --dns-cache=<size> the size of the DNS cache.

Dnsmasq-comaptible options

The following options are compatible with Dnsmasq. If you use Dnsmasq and are missing any options in DNSvizor please reach out to us.

• --dnssec validate DNS replies and cache DNSSEC data.
• --dhcp-range=<start>[,<end>|<mode>[,<netmask>[,<broadcast>]]][,<lease-time>] enable the DHCP server.
