SmartDNS Dashboard

SmartDNS provides a web based dashboard feature that can be enabled by installing the dashboard plugin separately.

Enabling the SmartDNS Dashboard

1. Configure the plugin parameter as shown below:

   # Enable the dashboard
   plugin smartdns_ui.so
   # Set the server port.
   smartdns-ui.ip http://[::]:6080
   

   Note:

   • The default username and password is: admin/password.
   • The dashboard uses a plugin mechanism. If the SmartDNS program is statically compiled, the dashboard plugin is not supported.

2. Set the data file storage path using the data-dir parameter:

   data-dir /var/lib/smartdns
   

3. Enable HTTPS service:

   Use the https:// prefix in the smartdns-ui.ip parameter to enable HTTPS.

   # Enable HTTPS service
   smartdns-ui.ip https://[::]:6080
   
   # Specify certificate files
   bind-cert-file /path/to/ca-file
   bind-cert-key-file /path/to/ca-key-file
   

   Note:

   • When HTTPS is enabled and no certificate files are specified, SmartDNS will automatically generate a root certificate file with CN as SmartDNS Root and the related certificate chain.
   • You can add this root certificate to your trusted domain to enable secure access.

4. Set the maximum retention time for query logs:

   Use smartdns-ui.max-query-log-age to set the maximum retention time for query logs.

   # Set the maximum query log retention time in seconds
   smartdns-ui.max-query-log-age 86400
