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. – Willtech Mar 11 '18 at 1:24dnssed.example IN NS vps.example.com
and finally added host ip pointing fromvps.example.com
resolving to IP. see networkhobo.com/2014/07/22/… – pbu Mar 11 '18 at 1:30
