AdGuard DNS Development Setup
Contents
Initial setup
Development is supported on Linux and macOS (aka Darwin) systems.
-
Install Go 1.25 or later.
-
Call
make initto set up the Git pre-commit hook. -
Call
make go-toolsto install analyzers and other tools into thebindirectory.
Common Makefile macros and targets
Most development tasks are done through the use of our Makefile. Please keep the Makefile POSIX-compliant and portable.
Macros
This is not an extensive list. See ../Makefile and the scripts in the ../scripts/make/ directory.
-
OUT: The name of the binary to build. Default:./AdGuardDNS. -
RACE: Set to1to enable the race detector. The race detector is always enabled formake go-test. -
VERBOSE: Set to1to enable verbose mode. Default:0.
Targets
This is not an extensive list. See ../Makefile.
-
make init: Set up the pre-commit hook that runs checks, linters, and tests. -
make go-build: Build the binary. See also theOUTandRACEmacros. -
make go-gen: Regenerate the automatically generated Go files that need to be periodically updated. Those generated files are:../internal/backendpb/dns.pb.go../internal/backendpb/dns_grpc.pb.go../internal/ecscache/ecsblocklist_generate.go../internal/geoip/asntops_generate.go../internal/geoip/country_generate.go../internal/profiledb/internal/filecachepb/filecache.pb.go
You'll need to install
protocfor the last one.Use the
ONLYenvironment variable to generate selected parts. This generates only the backend and file-cache protobuf files:make ONLY='backendpb filecachepb' go-genAvailable values:
backendpbecscachefilecachepbgeoip_asntopsgeoip_country
-
make go-lint: Run Go checkers and static analysis. -
make go-test: Run Go tests. -
make go-bench: Run Go benchmarks. -
make go-tools: Install the Go static analysis tools locally. -
make test: Currently does the same thing asmake go-testbut is defined both because it's a common target and also in case code in another language appears in the future. -
make txt-lint: Run plain text checkers.
How to run AdGuard DNS
This is an example on how to run AdGuard DNS locally.
Step 1: prepare the TLS certificate and the key
Keeping the test files in the test directory since it's added to .gitignore:
mkdir test
cd test
Generate the TLS certificate and the key:
openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout cert.key -out cert.crt
Also, generate TLS session tickets:
openssl rand 32 > ./tls_key_1
openssl rand 32 > ./tls_key_2
Step 2: prepare the DNSCrypt configuration
Install the dnscrypt tool:
-
On macOS, install from Brew:
brew install ameshkov/tap/dnscrypt -
On other unixes, such as Linux, download and install the latest release manually.
Then, generate the configuration:
dnscrypt generate -p testdns -o ./dnscrypt.yml
Step 3: prepare the configuration file
cd ../
cp -f config.dist.yaml config.yaml
Step 4: prepare the test data
echo '<html><body>General content ahead</body></html>' > ./test/block_page_general.html
echo '<html><body>Dangerous content ahead</body></html>' > ./test/block_page_sb.html
echo '<html><body>Adult content ahead</body></html>' > ./test/block_page_adult.html
echo '<html><body>Error 404</body></html>' > ./test/error_404.html
echo '<html><body>Error 500</body></html>' > ./test/error_500.html
Step 5: compile AdGuard DNS
make build
Step 6: prepare cache data and GeoIP
We'll use the test versions of the GeoIP databases here.
rm -f -r ./test/cache/
mkdir ./test/cache
curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB/main/test-data/GeoIP2-Country-Test.mmdb' -o ./test/GeoIP2-Country-Test.mmdb
curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB/main/test-data/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb' -o ./test/GeoIP2-City-Test.mmdb
curl 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maxmind/MaxMind-DB/main/test-data/GeoIP2-ISP-Test.mmdb' -o ./test/GeoIP2-ISP-Test.mmdb
Step 7: run AdGuard DNS
You'll need to supply the following:
ADULT_BLOCKING_URLBILLSTAT_URLCONSUL_ALLOWLIST_URLGENERAL_SAFE_SEARCH_URLLINKED_IP_TARGET_URLNEW_REG_DOMAINS_URLPROFILES_URLSAFE_BROWSING_URLYOUTUBE_SAFE_SEARCH_URL
See the external HTTP API documentation.
You may use go run ./scripts/backend to start mock GRPC server for BACKEND_PROFILES_URL, BILLSTAT_URL, DNSCHECK_REMOTEKV_URL, and PROFILES_URL endpoints.
You may need to change the listen ports in config.yaml which are less than 1024 to some other ports. Otherwise, sudo or doas is required to run AdGuardDNS.
Examples below are for the configuration with the following changes:
- Plain DNS:
53→5354 - DoT:
853→8853 - DoH:
443→8443 - DoQ:
853→8853
You may also need to remove probe_ipv6 if your network does not support IPv6.
If you're using an OS different from Linux, you also need to make these changes:
- Remove the
interface_listenerssection. - Remove
bind_interfacesfrom thedefault_dnsserver configuration and replace it withbind_addresses.

Step 8: test your instance
Plain DNS:
dnslookup example.org 127.0.0.1:5354
DoT:
VERIFY=0 dnslookup example.org tls://127.0.0.1:8853
DoH:
VERIFY=0 dnslookup example.org https://127.0.0.1:8443/dns-query
DoQ:
VERIFY=0 dnslookup example.org quic://127.0.0.1:8853
Open http://127.0.0.1:8081/metrics to see the server's metrics.
DNSCrypt is a bit trickier. You need to open dnscrypt.yml and use values from there to generate an SDNS stamp on https://dnscrypt.info/stamps.
Note
The example below is for a test configuration that won't work for you.

Testing
The go-bench and go-test targets described earlier should generally be enough, but there are cases where additional testing setup is required. One such case is package bindtodevice.
Testing SO_BINDTODEVICE features
The SO_BINDTODEVICE features require a Linux machine with a particular IP routing set up. In order to test these features on architectures other than Linux, this repository has a Dockerfile and a convenient script to use it, see scripts/test/bindtodevice.sh.
A simple example:
-
If your Docker is installed in a way that doesn't require
sudoto use it:sh ./scripts/test/bindtodevice.sh -
Otherwise:
env USE_SUDO=1 sh ./scripts/test/bindtodevice.sh
This will build the image and open a shell within the container. The container environment is defined by scripts/test/bindtodevice.docker, and has all utilities required to build the AdGuardDNS binary and test it. The working directory is also shared with the container through the /test directory inside it. The container also routes all IP connections to any address in the 172.17.0.0/16 subnet to the eth0 network interface. So, calling make go-test or a similar command from within the container will actually test the SO_BINDTODEVICE features:
go test --cover -v ./internal/bindtodevice/
If you want to open an additional terminal (for example to launch AdGuardDNS in one and dig it in the other), use docker exec like this (you may need sudo for that):
docker exec -i -t agdns_bindtodevice_test /bin/sh
