The server adopts a [different scaling strategy][scaling] than the rest of the DNS recursors - no threading, shared-nothing architecture (except MVCC cache that may be shared) that allows you to pin instances on available CPU cores and grow by self-replication. You can start and stop additional nodes depending on the contention without downtime. @@ -19,12 +19,20 @@ It also has strong support for DNS over TCP, notably TCP Fast-Open, query pipeli ### Packages -Knot Resolver is packaged for Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu and [openSUSE](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/server:dns/knot-resolver). -See [project page](https://www.knot-resolver.cz/pages/try.html) for more information. +Knot Resolver is packaged for +[Debian](https://packages.debian.org/sid/knot-resolver), +[Fedora](https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/knot-resolver/), +[Ubuntu](https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/knot-resolver), +[Homebrew](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/knot-resolver.rb) and +[NixOS/Nixpkgs](https://hydra.nixos.org/search?query=knot-resolver). +You can also find it as the default DNS resolver in our open-source router [Turris Omnia](https://omnia.turris.cz). +See the [Knot-resolver homepage](https://www.knot-resolver.cz/pages/try.html) for more information. + + ### Building from sources -The Knot DNS Resolver [depends][depends] on the 2.1 version of the Knot DNS library, [LuaJIT][luajit] and [libuv][libuv]. +Knot DNS Resolver mainly [depends][depends] on Knot DNS libraries, [LuaJIT][luajit] and [libuv][libuv].
