coredns-slim

A slim fork / build of coredns.

Why?

While inspecting coredns I found out that the binary is huge (60MB) and contains a lot of 3rd party vendor code that I will likely never need.

After removing this code the binary was 2x smaller.

Additionally some other essential plugins that are somehow not part of the core distribution have been added.

What is changed?

• Removed plugins
  • for propietary platforms introduced by "lobbying"
    • route53 (AWS)
    • azure
    • clouddns (GCP)
    • etc (SkyDNS)
    • Nomad (Hashicorp)
  • Niche/Experimental
    • grpc
    • geoip
    • chaos
  • All kubernetes plugins
• Added plugins
  • blocklist
• Other changes
  • Increased harcoded MaxTTL

How?

The updating logic can be found in the sidecar repo.
