Installation on Alpine Linux by Wrong-Code · Pull Request #1461 · TechnitiumSoftware/DnsServer

Wrong-Code · 2025-09-15T20:59:20Z

I have extended the Technitium DNS installation script to properly install on Alpine Linux. The script now takes care of installing the binaries needed just for the installation, as well as the libstdc++ package required by Microsoft .NET (the dotnet installation scripts does not check if it is missing)

I also provide the openrc.service file to run Technitium DNS as a service. The installation script now checks not only for systemd, but also for OpenRC.

If this PR is accepted, this blog post should be updated stating the now supported Alpine Linux.

I have tested the script on Alpine Linux v3.20.

Thanks for the PR. Will review it soon.

…lently.

Hi,

I have rebased my PR with release 14.3. It still works on Alpine even with .NET 9, I hope you will have time to integrate it.

ShreyasZare · 2026-01-02T06:53:01Z

Thanks. I have this PR starred in my inbox so will get it review once I have sufficient time to do so.

Hi! I’ve rebased this PR onto the latest upstream master and resolved the conflicts. The changes should now be up to date with the current codebase.

I tried to avoid bigger code reshuffles and obvious installation scripts cleanups, so that the PR has a chance to be adopted.

ShreyasZare · 2026-05-01T10:26:08Z

Thanks for this. This PR still is quite tough to review due to all these changes in there. It would be best if you can create a new PR with just this install script and related changes.

I will try to test this soon before taking up any other major task.

Thanks for this. This PR still is quite tough to review due to all these changes in there. It would be best if you can create a new PR with just this install script and related changes.

It's because of my incompetence with Git. My fork was still based on the previous version of T. DNS, and when I rebased it to align the current version it incorporated all your commits (if you look closely, my changes indeed affect only your install.sh file, and I add another file, all the other changes are your commits).

If you still find the PR too busy, I can drop my fork and create another one. The script could be improved, but as I wrote I didn't want to overdo it.

Thanks!

ShreyasZare · 2026-05-01T13:23:54Z

It would really be much better to have a new PR. Right now, its too tough to review.
