go-powerdns-protobuf

PowerDNS encoder and decoder protobuf implementation in Golang

Installation

go get -u github.com/dmachard/go-powerdns-protobuf

Usage example

Example to use the PowerDNS protobuf decoder

var dm_ref = []byte{8, 1, 26, 10, 112, 111, 119, 101, 114, 100, 110, 115, 112, 98, 32, 1, 40, 5, 160, 1, 144, 78, 168, 1, 53}


dm := &PBDNSMessage{}

err := proto.Unmarshal(dm_ref, dm)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("error on decode powerdns protobuf message %s", err)
}

Example to use the owerDNS protobuf encoder

dm := &PBDNSMessage{}

dm.Reset()

dm.ServerIdentity = []byte("powerdnspb")
dm.Type = PBDNSMessage_DNSQueryType.Enum()

dm.SocketProtocol = PBDNSMessage_DNSCryptUDP.Enum()
dm.SocketFamily = PBDNSMessage_INET.Enum()
dm.FromPort = proto.Uint32(10000)
dm.ToPort = proto.Uint32(53)

wiremessage, err := proto.Marshal(dm)
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("error on encode powerdns protobuf message %s", err)
}

Development

Add the proto schema as git submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/PowerDNS/dnsmessage

Update golang version

go mod edit -go=1.23
go mod tidy

Download the latest release of protoc and protoc-gen-go

export PROTOC_VER=28.1
export GITHUB_URL=https://github.com/protocolbuffers
go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
wget $GITHUB_URL/protobuf/releases/download/v$PROTOC_VER/protoc-$PROTOC_VER-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-$PROTOC_VER-linux-x86_64.zip

Edit and past the following line in the dnsmessage.proto

option go_package = "github.com/dmachard/go-powerdns-protobuf;powerdns_protobuf";

Generate the golang package

cd dnsmessage/
../bin/protoc --proto_path=. --go_out=../ --go_opt=paths=source_relative --plugin protoc-gen-go=$(go env GOPATH)/bin/protoc-gen-go dnsmessage.proto
