Golan

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Self-hosted wildcard DNS for local networks — like nip.io or traefik.me but on your own infra. Pairs with dnsmasq to give every device on your lab a clean, resolvable hostname automatically.

$ dig 192.168.0.137.local.lan
192.168.0.137

$ dig -x 192.168.0.137
192.168.0.137.local.lan.

How it works

• Any prefix labels are ignored — app1.192.168.0.137.local.lan and app2.192.168.0.137.local.lan both resolve to the same IP.
• Unknown return 127.0.0.1.
• Reverse DNS (-x) is supported.

Build

make build-arm64
