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
  • Plain zone file edition
  • 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.
