System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Provides an authoritative DNS deployment on Fly.io using Knot DNS while keeping ACME DNS-01 issuance working through a secure TSIG-based RFC 2136 path.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deploy Knot DNS end-to-end on Fly: run Knot 3.5 with correct Fly networking assumptions (including the TCP PROXY-related constraint) and durable configuration using confdb.
  • Secure ACME DNS-01 updates via RFC 2136: configure tightly-scoped TSIG keys and the correct Knot ACL matching behavior for _acme-challenge TXT updates.
  • Migrate from Cloudflare to self-hosted authoritative DNS: use outgoing AXFR from Knot/Cloudflare with verification steps, then cut over the registrar NS and migrate Caddy sites from dns cloudflare to dns rfc2136.

Quick Start

Deploy the referenced Knot-on-Fly setup for your zone from the working tree, then update your Caddy site blocks to use dns rfc2136 with the TSIG_CADDY_ACME key and the Knot anycast resolver.
