09:34 <mrgrieves> hi, just started getting familiar with mirageos going tru the tutorial and all that - the experience has been good so far

09:35 <mrgrieves> however I wanted to ask - where can I find the most complete implementation of a DNS server for testing purposes?

09:41 <hannes> mrgrieves: what do you mean with "most complete"? the mirage-skeleton repository contains an application/dns which reads its zone file from text, and serves it via udp

09:42 <hannes> mrgrieves: I run https://github.com/hannesm/ns.nqsb.io for ns.nqsb.io and sn.nqsb.io -- this is without a zone file, but direct hardcoded data

09:43 <hannes> (and I just finished some changes to get nsupdate support, etc.)

09:43 <hannes> they're atm all only doing udp, and no dnssec

09:45 <mrgrieves> hannes: thanks, yes the one from mirage-skeleton runs ok I just wanted to check if there were other efforts going on regarding running a DNS server as unikernel

09:46 <hannes> mrgrieves: I run the above mentioned ns.nqsb.io as a unikernel :)

09:46 <hannes> mrgrieves: and I currently rewrite some code to get more features (+tcp +dnssec +nsupdate) :)

09:49 <hannes> mrgrieves: so the question is: what features do you need? the one in applications/dns is pretty ok afaict

09:50 <mrgrieves> perfect! going to have a look and take it out for a spin. With regards to the features I don't need anything special

09:51 <hannes> mrgrieves: :)

09:51 <mrgrieves> currently working on a uni project looking at the status of the unikernel ecosystem and how easy it is to run unikernels in public cloud platforms

09:52 <hannes> oh, I'm of little help here... I run my unikernels on a dedicated physical machine (using https://hannes.nqsb.io/Poss/VMM in the dom0 to manage my unikernels)

09:52 <mrgrieves> yes I saw your post a few weeks ago

09:53 <mrgrieves> haven't had the chance to try it out

09:53 <mrgrieves> life + uni is taking pretty much all my time :(

09:54 <hannes> mrgrieves: no worries. there seem to be people who're running MirageOS on both ec2 (with xen I suspect, there are some shell scripts around iirc) and GCE (using virtio or kvm backend via solo5)... feel invited to ask on mirageos-devel mailing list for pointers how to do so

09:56 <mrgrieves> Thank you hannes !

09:56 <hannes> thank you! :)
