I just needed to do some dns lookups recently and since I never really adapted to dig and don't actually have it on minimal installs, I went straight to DoH (on quad9.)
Memorizing a starting DoH url and the parameters actually seems like a more universal solution to be ready to bootstrap to naming anywhere from now on.
At any rate maybe a good related topic or comparison possibility. I found it interesting that I couldn't find a simple cheat sheet and just had to wing it on the parameter names.
- tyingq 7y agoThe "host" command is easier to use than dig, at least for me. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/host-command-in-linux-with-examples/ https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/host-command-in-linux-with-exa...
- yabadabadoes 7y agoThanks that actually is in my install and looks pretty good! In recent years I've dealt with naming so little that I end up relying on getent, which is great until it's time to look into anything DNS specific.
- mr-karan 7y agoYou can also take a look at `nslookup` which is fairly easy to use as well.
- yabadabadoes 7y agoI was using nslookup for decades, but all the distributions were threatening that it was going away.. Looks like that decision got reversed? :)
