If you're interested in dnsvizor, please [open an issue at our repository](https://github.com/robur-coop/dnsvizor/issues/new) with your dnsmasq configuration. This will help us to guide which parts of the configuration to prioritize. +## Usages of DNSvizor + +We have several use cases for DNSvizor: +- at your home router to provide DNS resolution and DHCP service, filtering ads, +- in the datacenter auto-configuring your machine park, +- when running your unikernel swarm to auto-configure them. + +The first one is where pi-hole as well fits into, and where dnsmasq is used quite +a lot. The second one is also a domain where dnsmasq is used. The third one is +from our experience that lots of people struggle with deploying MirageOS +unikernels since they have to manually do IP configuration etc. We ourselves +also pass additional information to the unikernels, such as syslog host, +monitoring sink, X.509 certificates or host names, do some DNS provisioning, ... + +With DNSvizor we will leverage the common configuration options of all +unikernels (reducing the need for boot arguments), and also go a bit further +and make deployment seamless (including adding hostnames to DNS, forwarding +from our reverse TLS proxy, etc.). + ## Conclusion [DNSvizor](https://github.com/robur-coop/dnsvizor) provides DNS resolution and
