🌐 ZoneForge
A web-based BIND 9 zone editor. Point, click, edit — no terminal required.
- Point-and-click zone editing
- No install — just open the browser
⚙️ BindConfig
A keyword-driven declarative compiler for BIND 9. Describe your zones in YAML; get valid named.conf out.
- Mixins, TSIG keys & DNSSEC policies
- Validate & autocomplete in your IDE
$ bindconfig -s /etc/bindconfig -o /etc/bind/named.conf.local
Which one is for you?
Editing zone records in a browser → ZoneForge.
Config-as-code for your `named.conf.local` file → BindConfig.
Lots of folks use both.
Why I built these
Because hand-editing zone files is the worst. Serial bumps, TSIG keys, DNSSEC policies — one misplaced brace at 2 a.m. is all it takes to take a domain down.
So I built ZoneForge for the nights I'd rather click my way through a zone, and BindConfig for the days I want my zones described as data and compiled into something named-checkconf can't complain about.

Decorative — though we could make it a real TXT record.
