BindControl

BindControl is a modern web-based control plane for managing authoritative BIND9 DNS infrastructure.

Goals

BindControl provides a graphical and API-driven way to manage:

• DNS zones and records
• Hierarchical zone navigation
• DNS clusters and nodes
• Primary and secondary authoritative DNS servers
• Search across DNS records
• Desired DNS state stored in PostgreSQL
• Routine record changes through RFC 2136
• Authenticated DNS updates using TSIG
• Primary-to-secondary replication using NOTIFY and IXFR/AXFR
• Explicit deployment state for configuration changes

Planned Stack

• Frontend: SvelteKit
• Backend: Django + Django REST Framework
• Database: PostgreSQL
• DNS: BIND9
• Dynamic updates: RFC 2136
• Update authentication: TSIG
• Development environment: Docker Compose
• API documentation: OpenAPI
• API testing: Bruno
• Backend testing: pytest
