iofq/reddit-dns-bot repository overview

⁠reddit-dns-bot

A simple reddit bot that listens for private messages in the form of a DNS query and replies with a lookup. Bundled with unbound dns server⁠ for resolving from root nameservers.

⁠Running

Distributed as a docker container, running this bot is dead simple. You'll need a reddit api token⁠.

docker run --rm -it --name dns-bot \
	--dns=127.0.0.1 \
  -e CLIENT_ID="............" \
  -e CLIENT_SECRET="xxxxxxxx" \
  -e CLIENT_USER="user" \
  -e CLIENT_PASS="password" \

	iofq/reddit-dns-bot

⁠Usage

This bot will respond to queries in the form A google.com, google.com A, or google.com. Anything else will not receive a response. It currently supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, SRV, and TXT records, although it can easily be extended to lookup any record type dig⁠ supports. Users should submit their query in a message body, not subject.
