Container and DNS integrity check mechanism

[jytaloramon]

Hello,

I believe it is useful to add tools to the container that allow queries against DNS servers (dnsutils and ldnsutils). Also, add integrity check in docker-compose.yml.

What are the guidelines that must be followed to contribute to the project?

Thanks for the post. The DNS server already comes with a built in tools in its web panel called DNS Client which you can use to query any DNS server. Adding more tools does not make it any useful since you can have these tools already installed on your laptop/desktop or on the docker host machine so it does not matter if the docker container has them. Adding more tools will just increase the size of the image without much benefits.

I am not an docker expert and searching for "docker integrity check" did not come up with anything that is obvious. Do let me know what does that actually mean.

There is no specific guidelines published for the project. Usually, if there is a PR for small changes then its accepted. If there is anything specific required then it would be nice to have a discussion here before submitting PR.

Wow, very fast. Thanks for the reply. Sorry, wrong term. When I said "docker integrity check", I meant "health check".

I was doing a test here and to add the "healthcheck" directive to docker-compose I needed to create a Dockerfile and install the mentioned tools.

Thanks for the response. The health check can be done for the web panel running on 5380 so no need to add dns tools. If the web panel is down then so is the dns server. Will evaluate it and try to get it added soon.
