Love this, thank you! Is there a way to query all DNS records? (I was surprised to learn that isn't the default.) This would be really helpful for troubleshooting people's Caddy questions (which are actually DNS problems).

You can't really query all DNS records these days anymore by using the ANY query type. The closest alternative is to run dig across all record types.

At Andrew McWatters & Co., we use a small internal utility called digany(1)[1][2] that does this for you.

What's stupid about it?

Dig was an early and widespread DNS CLI tool. "dog" is a logical name for a next-gen dns cli, and of course that exists. "Doggo" is both a pretty standard linguistic drift pattern of English slang (random -> rando, weird -> weirdo), a common internet term of endearment for "dog", and a logical derivation of *-go for go-based tools and software.

Reminds me of https://github.com/ogham/dog

And dog seems unmaintained, sadly

Yea a lot of lingering PRs to fix building with OpenSSL or update packages in some way. Last change was ~3 years ago.

> "doggo is a modern command-line DNS client (like dig) written in Golang. It outputs information in a neat concise manner and supports protocols like DoH, DoT, DoQ, and DNSCrypt as well. It's totally inspired from dog which is written in Rust. I wanted to add some features to it but since I don't know Rust, I found it as a nice opportunity to experiment with writing a DNS Client from scratch in Go myself. Hence the…

That's pretty cool :) It makes a great visualizer for bbs-over-dns.com

go: downloading github.com/mr-karan/doggo v0.5.7 go: github.com/mr-karan/doggo/cmd@latest: module github.com/mr-karan/doggo@latest found (v0.5.7), but does not contain package github.com/mr-karan/doggo/cmd

Hit the same issue, but it goes fine if you just clone the repo, cd down into the cmd directory and 'go build -o doggo'.

Does this install in a way I can upgrade it with topgrade?

Shameless plug for folks looking for something similar, but on the web: I was fed up with Google's slow/janky dig webface, so built my own. (Still very WIP, but already works better as a daily driver than Google's!)

Did you use DNS over HTTPS (DoH)? I love how easy it is to perform DNS lookups in web apps too through this.

  curl -H "accept: application/dns-json" "https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=ycombinator.com&type=A"
