Zonemaster users guide

The purpose of the Zonemaster project is to develop a DNS validation software. There are three ways one can use the Zonemaster software:

• Using the Web user Interface: In this case, there is no installation of the Zonemaster software needed. A user types the URL https://zonemaster.net, provides as input a domain name, and then can view the results.
• From the Command Line Interface (CLI): In this case, the user has to install two components of the Zonemaster software, i.e. the Zonemaster-Engine and the Zonemaster-CLI.
• There are cases, wherein an organisation or a user, that wants to have the results of their DNS validation stored and can be viewed later. In that case, in addition to the Zonemaster-Engine and Zonemaster-CLI, the user has to install the Zonemaster-Backend and the Zonemaster-GUI.

User guides:

• Use Zonemaster-CLI
• Use Zonemaster Backend
• Use Zonemaster-GUI
