How to get my Deno nameserver accessible to the internet?

This is how it's setup:

const socket = Deno.listenDatagram({
  hostname: "127.0.0.1",
  port: 53,
  transport: "udp"
});

const socket = Deno.listenDatagram({
  hostname: "127.0.0.1",
  port: 53,
  transport: "udp"
});

I have ufw enabling and allowing access to all the ports. Not sure what else I'm missing.

How are you trying to access it?

@dr_light dig @server-ip domain.name A I just now changed the hostname from "localhost" to the actual IP of my server and I'm seeing responses. Is it not possible to just have localhost work?

You can have localhost if you have a proxy in between. But I assumed the port might be the issue.

Dah well, I'll figure out the proxy later.

Nginx is a great proxy.

I don't want to have to setup nginx just to use localhost in Deno There's gotta be a simpler way

Nginx is very simple and if you want to https then add certbot and boom. Set and forget. Anyway. Is 53 the default port for whatever protocol you’re using? If http then 80 is the default. Try domain.com:53

Well my project is a nameserver so port 53 is required

Doctor 🤖•3y ago

That’s fine. You can use whatever port you want, but if it’s not the default port for the protocol you can’t omit it from the url.
