Technitium DNS Server v15.1.0 has been released with support for OIDC! Now you can use your preferred identity provider to log in to user accounts, and manage your DHCP/DNS deployments with approriately granular permissions controls.
I’ve played around with it, and safe to say that the SSO integration works well. I’ve written a guide to set it up against Kanidm here. There were some OIDC/clustering bugs in prior v15 releases, and with v15.1.0 they have been squashed and solved.
The major release of version 15 also include various important changes, such as the following highlights:
- A new API call for Prometheus metrics
- Query Logs apps can now follow live updates
- Codebase updated to .NET 10 runtime
- HTTP tokens are now accepted via the
Authorization: Bearer <token>header - Many other bugfixes, secfixes, and improvements…
Technitium is pretty great. Hope everyone enjoy the release :)
Hi, the other comments have said it pretty well, but you can also check out my previous post for some of the other comparisons.
I went from Pihole > Adguard Home > Technitium, and stuck with the last one because it supports clustering (syncing data between nodes) and recursion (so no need for external Unbound). The interface is a bit complex and there is no dedicated documentation, but should be intuitive enough as you learn.
If you want something simpler, I think Adguard Home is a better choice than Pihole as it natively supports encrypted DNS protocol, and has a sleeker UI. But other than that Technitium is nice as you expand your homelab eventually.
Thank you for sharing the link to your previous post. Will definitely read up on that!
I think I will skip Adguard just due to not wanting a license.
I do wish they had more documentation on this stuff for Technitium.
Though it does seem like a cool product.
