DNS + Web + WebDav server in one package.

Parkomat.io

What is it?

DNS + Web + WebDav server in one package.

Features

• DNS server with catch-all function
• Web server with SSL support (can run many certificates on one IP)
• WebDav for easy upload of files to the web

Why ?

Parkomat is useful when you have a lot of domains and managing them via typical hosting panel becomes too complex.

Installation

Parkomat at the moment doesn't provide pre-built binaries, so you need to have Go 1.5+ installed. Latest version of Go is recommended.

To build, issue:

go get github.com/parkomat/parkomat

Setting up

As a configuration format Parkomat uses TOML

Try with Docker

docker pull parkomat/parkomat

docker run -d -e PARKOMAT_CONFIG_FILE=/opt/parkomat/config.toml -v /your/parkomat/directory:/opt/parkomat -p 53:53/udp parkomat/parkomat

Remember to have config.toml file in your /your/parkomat/directory path.

Example Configuration:

Note: instead of 127.0.0.1 use your external IP.

# if you set it to true, Parkomat will serve any domain pointing at it
catch_all = true

[[domains]]
name = "example.domain"

[[domains]]
name = "parkomat.io"
	# supports per domain zone settings
	[domains.zone]
	A = "192.168.0.1"
	MX = """
1 better.mail.server
"""
	TXT = """
hello world
"""

# each domain will use following zone settings
[zone]
# for both .domain and www.domain
A = "127.0.0.1"
MX = '''
1 test1.mail.server
10 test2.mail.server
'''

[web]
ip = "0.0.0.0"
port = 80
path = "./www"

# make sure that path exists
# for example issue mkdir -p /var/log/parkomat
access_log = "/var/log/parkomat/access.log"

[webdav]
enabled = true
username = "hello"
password = "world"
# your share will be under http://example.domain/dav/
mount = "/dav/"

[dns]
ip = "127.0.0.1"
port = 53

# details of dns servers for NS record
[[dns.servers]]
name = "ns1.parkomat.co"
ip = "127.0.0.1"

[[dns.servers]]
name = "ns2.parkomat.co"
ip = "127.0.0.1"

Make sure to create GLUE record for each dns server listed in [[dns.servers]]. You need to follow your registrar documentation on how to do it.

You can run multiple parkomat nodes for DNS server. Make sure they use the same configuration file (for example mounted via NFS).

To run parkomat in DNS only mode, use:

./parkomat -dns_only=true -config_file=/path/to/config.toml

You can also use following environment variables, that will overwrite passed arguments:

PARKOMAT_CONFIG_FILE - path to the configuration file, for example /path/to/config.toml

PARKOMAT_DNS_ONLY - true or false for DNS only mode

Web server directory structure

You ./web path could look like this:

.
├── default
│   └── public_html
│       └── index.html
├── parkomat.io
|   ├── parkomat.io.crt
|   ├── parkomat.io.key
|   └── public_html
|       └── index.html
└── config.toml

To add new domain, simply create new directory with that domain name. If you want to use SSL, just copy domain.crt and domain.key files to that domain directory (be careful - do not upload them to public_html directory). You need to restart parkomat afterwards (SSL at the moment is not reloaded at runtime).

All your html and other files go to public_html directory.

WebDav

If you want to use WebDav with windows, the domain you will be using it with should have certificates uploaded. Apparently WebDav doesn't work without SSL on Windows.

TO DO

• Better documentation
• API
• Stats
• Mail forwarding
• Live reload of configuration
