Are there any tutorials on how to setup dnsseeder for a new altcoin. I am struggling with this for past couple of days.
I am modifying dogecoin seeder and i just cant setup on my server. My coin daemon is running on the same AWS server. I did open the ports 53 and for daemon and rpc. I only have one ip running both daemon and dnsseed. My understanding is that the more nodes connect to dnsseed, it will auto add the nodes to its dns list.
i have set this on godaddy records
dnsseed.example.com -> IP
and IP is running dnsseeder.
Here i run
./dnsseed -h dnsseed.example.com -n IP
and i see this
Supporting whitelisted filters: 0x1,0x5,0x9,0xd
No e-mail address set. Please use -m.
When i check whether dnsseed is running,
netstat -anp
I could not find any process listening on port 53.
How do i check if dnsseed is running? Thank you for your time as i find this topic confusing.
dnsseed.example.com -> IP
I presume that you need an NS record so that queries can be resolved by your resolver.dnssed.example IN NS vps.example.com
and finally added host ip pointing fromvps.example.com
resolving to IP. see networkhobo.com/2014/07/22/…
