Technitium DNS Server v15.1.0 has been released with support for OIDC! Now you can use your preferred identity provider to log in to user accounts, and manage your DHCP/DNS deployments with approriately granular permissions controls.
I’ve played around with it, and safe to say that the SSO integration works well. I’ve written a guide to set it up against Kanidm here. There were some OIDC/clustering bugs in prior v15 releases, and with v15.1.0 they have been squashed and solved.
The major release of version 15 also include various important changes, such as the following highlights:
- A new API call for Prometheus metrics
- Query Logs apps can now follow live updates
- Codebase updated to .NET 10 runtime
- HTTP tokens are now accepted via the
Authorization: Bearer <token>header - Many other bugfixes, secfixes, and improvements…
Technitium is pretty great. Hope everyone enjoy the release :)
I’ve used both.
Pihole is fine for a standard replacement of DNS for record lookups with the ad blocking most ppl want. But pihole is just fancy dnsmasq, you can’t manage much more DNS than A records. (That was 4 years ago, though, things might have changed).
Technitium is a real DNS server with all the things DNS I supposed to be able to do. I use it for the zone transfers.
Performance is better than pihole, too, but that may also have changed.
With my Pihole setup I currently use A records and CNAMES for my local DNS entries. What interests me with Technitium is that it supports DoH, DoT, and DoQ. Which I would like to see if I could implement.
I remember a while back looking into setting up DoH or DoT with Unbound on my Pihole box, but that didn’t work well for me (likely a me issue.)
But I am constantly looking to improve my homelab setup.
