# ServNest
|
|
|
|
ServNest (formerly Niver) is software providing a web interface allowing users to manage 3 independent services:
|
|
|
|
* Public suffix registry
|
|
* Domain name server
|
|
* Static HTTP site hosting
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
I plan to create and maintain a public stable instance of ServNest, but I haven't done so yet. Thus it is not yet tested with real world and long-term usages, and is **alpha software**.
|
|
|
|
## Detailed services features
|
|
|
|
### Public suffix registry (`reg`)
|
|
|
|
* Register a subdomain of the registry
|
|
* Set domain's nameservers
|
|
* Set a DS record to enable DNSSEC
|
|
* Set Glue records
|
|
* Display records
|
|
* Transfer domain to another account
|
|
|
|
### Name server (`ns`)
|
|
|
|
* Host a zone on the server
|
|
* Zone file edition through `<textarea>`
|
|
* Dedicated forms to set/unset `A`, `AAAA`, `NS`, `TXT`, `CAA`, `SRV`, `MX`, `SRV`, `SSHFP`, `TLSA`, `CNAME`, `DNAME` and `LOC` records
|
|
* Display records or the full zone file
|
|
|
|
### Static HTTP site hosting (`ht`)
|
|
|
|
Upload site's files to the server using SFTP. The way the site is accessed can then be choosed:
|
|
|
|
* Dedicated domain name and Let's Encrypt certificate
|
|
* Dedicated onion service (through Tor)
|
|
* Subdomain of a shared root domain
|
|
* HTTP subpath of a shared domain
|
|
|
|
Some Apache configuration directives are available through `.htaccess`.
