Why Yunamo?

Getting a project online should not start with a bill.

• Full DNS control: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA and more
• DNSSEC and custom nameservers when you need them
• Bring any host: your VPS, your homelab, or any hosting provider
• Open source and run in the open

🌍 Available domains

🌐 DNS infrastructure

cd yunamo

cp .env.example .env
# Change at least DB_PASSWORD, JWT_SECRET and POWERDNS_API_KEY.
# Set MAIL_* to send verification and password reset emails.

./docker-deploy.sh

To run the bundled PowerDNS as well, enable the powerdns profile:

# Also set PDNS_DB_PASSWORD and PDNS_ADMIN_SECRET in .env
docker compose --profile powerdns up -d

Service	Address	Notes
API backend	http://localhost:8000	Always on
PowerDNS Admin	http://localhost:9191	powerdns profile
PowerDNS API	http://localhost:8081	powerdns profile

docker-compose.yml runs these services:

• postgres: application database
• redis: cache and rate limits
• migrate: applies database migrations on every start
• app: the Yunamo backend, which also serves the frontend
• pdns-db, powerdns, pdns-admin: PowerDNS with MariaDB and its web UI (powerdns profile)

Common commands:

docker compose logs -f app   # follow the app logs
docker compose restart       # restart all services
docker compose down          # stop and remove containers

Notes:

• On Ubuntu, port 53 may be taken by systemd-resolved. Set DNS_PORT=5353 in .env to use another port.
• The first time you open PowerDNS Admin (:9191), register an admin account and use http://powerdns:8081 as the API URL.
