Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:

Step 1: Installation

  1. Open a terminal window on your Void Linux system.

    coredns -version

    This will display the version of CoreDNS installed on your system.

Step 2: Configuration

CoreDNS is now installed on your system. The next step is to configure it to suit your needs.

  1. The CoreDNS configuration file is located at /etc/coredns/Corefile. Open the file with your favorite text editor:

    sudo nano /etc/coredns/Corefile

  2. Modify the configuration file as per your requirements. For more information on how to configure CoreDNS, refer to the official CoreDNS documentation.

  3. Save and close the file.

  4. Restart the CoreDNS service using the following command:
