# DNS
|
|
|
|
Headscale supports [most DNS features](../about/features.md) from Tailscale and DNS releated settings can be configured
|
|
in the [configuration file](./configuration.md) within the `dns` section.
|
|
|
|
## Setting custom DNS records
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Community documentation"
|
|
|
|
This page is not actively maintained by the headscale authors and is
|
|
written by community members. It is _not_ verified by headscale developers.
|
|
|
|
**It might be outdated and it might miss necessary steps**.
|
|
|
|
Headscale allows to set custom DNS records which are made available via
|
|
[MagicDNS](https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns). An example use case is to serve multiple apps on the same host via a
|
|
reverse proxy like NGINX, in this case a Prometheus monitoring stack. This allows to nicely access the service with
|
|
"http://grafana.myvpn.example.com" instead of the hostname and port combination
|
|
"http://hostname-in-magic-dns.myvpn.example.com:3000".
|
|
|
|
!!! warning "Limitations"
|
|
|
|
[Not all types of records are supported](https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/6edf357b96b28ee1be659a70232c0135b2ffedfd/ipn/ipnlocal/local.go#L2989-L3007), especially no CNAME records.
|
|
|
|
1. Update the [configuration file](./configuration.md) to contain the desired records like so:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
dns:
|
|
...
|
|
extra_records:
|
|
- name: "prometheus.myvpn.example.com"
|
|
type: "A"
|
|
value: "100.64.0.3"
|
|
|
|
- name: "grafana.myvpn.example.com"
|
|
type: "A"
|
|
value: "100.64.0.3"
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Restart your headscale instance.
|
|
|
|
1. Verify that DNS records are properly set using the DNS querying tool of your choice:
|
|
|
|
=== "Query with dig"
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
dig +short grafana.myvpn.example.com
|
|
100.64.0.3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "Query with drill"
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
drill -Q grafana.myvpn.example.com
|
|
100.64.0.3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Optional: Setup the reverse proxy
|
|
|
|
The motivating example here was to be able to access internal monitoring services on the same host without
|
|
specifying a port, depicted as NGINX configuration snippet:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 80;
|
|
listen [::]:80;
|
|
|
|
server_name grafana.myvpn.example.com;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
```
