A certificates role (template) for tokens and users that get
certificates for other hosts with jarl cert get.

Certificates for other hosts (jarl cert get, with a daily timer),
certificate export, PTR record and override fixes in linked zones,
one-view tokens with linked zones, numeric order in reverse zones, and
cert get refusing to take over a name saved for another Jarl server.

0.6.1's fourth release candidate: the Stats page's range buttons follow
the retention settings, jarl changeset show prints local time, and the CLI
no longer prints "and N more" when the server sends no PTR list.

0.6.1's third release candidate: reverse zones list the addresses only
other views' records use, with clearer wording, and jarl zone show lists
missing PTR records.

0.6.1's second release candidate: reverse zones sort numeric labels by
value (2 before 101), and a reverse zone no longer reports addresses
only other views' records use as missing PTR records; filling names
them from the other view only with --other-views.

0.6.1's first release candidate: certificates for other hosts (jarl cert
get, cert schedule, the certificates grant), certificate export, the
missing PTR list, links to a zone in other views, one-view tokens with
linked zones, PTR records and overrides in linked zones per view, the
registrar and DS guidance for subdomain and reverse zones, the stats
heatmap and cname_chain fixes. Upgrading a 0.6.0 database was tested.

Reverse zones made easy, comparing views rebuilt, exploring the statistics through a query log (filters, several values, exclusions), storage on the dashboard, encrypted DNS with several host names and views per listen address, option set matching named statements, forwarding over TLS documented. Upgrade from 0.5.2 tested in Debian 13.

Since rc.2: the Encrypted DNS page and docs test with BIND's dig +tls / +https instead of kdig and curl's JSON API.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Since rc.1: the explore page has a filter bar, several values per filter, !value to leave one out and *.domain, a hide link on list entries, and refreshes with its own filters (the Statistics page's refresh drew over it).

Missing reverse zones are suggested for the private views' A and AAAA records (/24 for private IPv4, /32 for a public address, /48 for IPv6) and created filled with PTR records (jarl zone suggest-reverse, the Zones page). zone create --fill and zone fill-ptr add the PTRs a reverse zone lacks; a reverse zone created without a view goes to the private view using its addresses. Per zone, auto_ptr keeps the PTR records of A and AAAA records in step on every change (database version 12). Zone commands take a network.

0.4.1's release candidates grew into 0.5.0: exposure checks, certificates, linked zones, encrypted DNS and per-view statistics are new features. The upgrade from 0.4.0 packages was tested in a Debian 13 container. The CLI's filtered stats summary says answers for the busiest minute too.

jarl encrypted-dns setup (and the Encrypted DNS page) finds or obtains a
certificate for the host name, checks that nothing else listens on the
DoT and DoH ports at the chosen addresses (offering a free DoH port), and
stages named's tls statement and listeners as one change, keeping port 53
where it was when there was no listen-on, plus the host name's records in
the private views (local to the view in a linked zone). Status shows what
to give Android, Linux, Firefox, Chrome and Windows clients. A tls
statement with missing files is refused (tls_file_missing), and a
certificate named uses can't be deleted. docs/encrypted-dns.md, e2e with
real DoT and DoH queries.

Zones of the same name in different views can be linked. Shared records
are kept in step: a change in one view reaches the others in the same
changeset, as explicit operations, so the diff, permission checks,
history and undo cover every view. Records local to a view override the
shared records of that name and type there; removing the override brings
the shared ones back, and sharing a view's version makes it every view's.
Each zone keeps its own options, serial and file.
Linking existing zones changes no answer: what is the same everywhere
becomes shared, the rest stays local. Unlinking keeps every record, all
local. ACME challenges are written once per link, and --view all changes
a link once. jarl zone link/unlink, zone create --link-with, record
--local/--shared, LINK column, web UI controls, POST /zones/{zone}/link
and /unlink, validation checks linked_*, store migration 11, docs and
e2e.

Jarl is now an ACME client (lego's core, no DNS providers). It answers
DNS-01 challenges in a zone it serves, or through Porkbun's DNS API while
Porkbun serves the domain; "auto" decides from the domain's public name
servers at every renewal, and a CNAME on _acme-challenge is followed.
Certificates are used for jarld's HTTPS (served without a restart; each
port speaks HTTPS and plain HTTP, plain HTTP from loopback and trusted
proxies still served) and/or written for named's DNS over TLS/HTTPS, with
rndc reconfig on renewal. Renewal follows the CA's ARI window or two
thirds of the lifetime, with back-off. Certificates you renew yourself
can be used too. Certificates page and dashboard card, jarl cert,
/api/v1/certificates, Prometheus gauges, docs/certificates.md, and an
e2e section against Pebble.

Jarl works out which views are reachable from the internet (match-clients
ending in a catch-all, not private-looking addresses: an internal view of a
global IPv6 prefix is still yours; a server without views: open allow-query
and a non-private listen address), with a per-view override (schema 9), and
checks public ones: rate limiting, open resolver, minimal-any, cache
snooping, open NOTIFY and transfers, version and host name, management
interfaces. Fixes are staged like any change, including rate limiting from
ISC's example in log-only mode with the secondaries exempt, then enforcing.
named logs what rate limiting limits (or would, in log-only mode, where its
counters don't move) as query-errors; Jarl routes those lines to its log
and counts them (rrl breakdown, ratelimited top lists, Prometheus
jarl_ratelimit_logged_total), shown on the new Exposure page.
A change that newly opens a public view up must be confirmed (accept_risk,
--accept-risk, a checkbox on the Changes page; 409 confirm_risk
otherwise). Findings can be acknowledged with a reason and stay visible as
info. GET /exposure, POST /exposure/fix|ack|unack, jarl exposure,
docs/exposure.md.
Also fixes query statistics skipping TSIG-signed queries ("IP#port/key
NAME" in named's log).

New metrics: section (enabled, listen, allow, token). /metrics is served on
the main listeners, the local socket (root and jarld's user) and optional
metrics-only addresses; a scrape needs an allowed address or the bearer
token. Exports health (named up, problems, drift, backups, blocklists,
DNSSEC phases, token expiry) and, with stats on, named's and Jarl's query
counters since jarld started plus named's process and cache gauges.
docs/metrics.md has example queries and alerts checked with promtool.

jarld downloads blocklists (Adblock, hosts or plain domains), checks them
daily and reloads named only when a list changed; your own block and
allow rules take precedence, and the most specific rule wins. Lists and
rules apply per view (default: every view that offers recursion). Web UI
Blocking page with name checks, jarl blocklist and jarl block, the
/blocking API, blocked counts in the statistics. Database schema 6.

The first release candidate of 0.2.0: DNSSEC signing and Porkbun
support, two-factor login, view colours and navigation, and the build
shown in a footer. Its notes are the CHANGELOG's Unreleased section.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The DNSSEC notes in CHANGELOG.md belong under Unreleased; git had put
them into the 0.1.0 section, which didn't exist when the branch was made.

Users can set up an authenticator app from their account page; login
then asks for a code after the password, with one-time recovery codes
as a fallback. Sensitive actions (tokens, user changes, 2FA resets)
need a code from the last 5 minutes. totp.require (none/admins/all)
forces setup, and admins can reset a user's 2FA from the UI, the jarl
CLI or jarld on the server. The dashboard and jarl status flag users
missing 2FA and a shared "admin" account still in use.

make deb now builds two packages: jarl-cli (the CLI, its completion and
the ACME hooks, no scripts) and jarl (the server), which depends on
jarl-cli of the same version.
Pushing a v* tag runs .gitea/workflows/release.yml: it tests, builds the
tarballs, the CLI for Linux, macOS and Windows (make cli-dist) and the
.debs for amd64 and arm64, then scripts/gitea-release.sh creates the
Gitea release and uploads the .debs to the Debian package registry, so
servers install and upgrade with apt. The stats package's inode lookup
is split by OS so the CLI builds for Windows.

Zones get a DNSSEC setting: named signs them with BIND's default (or a
custom) dnssec-policy and inline signing, with keys in a per-view key
directory. Jarl shows the keys, the DS record and when it is safe to
publish it, checks the parent's DS records (check-ds, which also tells
named), and refuses steps that would break a signed domain: switching
straight to unsigned, finishing a turn-off too early, deleting or moving
a signed zone, TTLs above max-zone-ttl. Turning off goes through the
insecure policy; wipe starts over once the parent has no DS.
Backups store the DNSSEC keys and restore puts them back for named; the
backup unit gets CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH to read them. Jarl raises a zone's
serial above named's whenever it writes an older one (after a restore).
The serials check compares the signed serial.
With a Porkbun API key in jarl.yaml, the registrar's name servers, glue
records and DS records can be shown and changed, each change checked
first (dry run, force to override).

- Daily database backups: jarl-backup.timer runs 'jarld backup', which
writes jarl-<UTC time>.db into backup.dir, checks it before naming it,
and prunes by the time in the name while always keeping the newest
keep_at_least. New backup: section in jarl.yaml; the dashboard and
'jarl status' show the newest backup and warn when it is stale or
failed. The Debian package enables the timer.
- 'jarld restore [FILE | latest]': checks the backup, shows it next to
the current database, keeps the current one aside and records the
restore. 'jarld serve' holds a database lock, so a restore can't run
under a live jarld and two jarlds can't share a database.
- Token expiry warnings from 14 days ahead: dashboard, token lists, a
daily log line, and a CLI warning via the Jarl-Token-Expires header;
'jarl token list --expiring'.
- 'jarl zone serials' and the zone page's Name servers tab: compare the
serial on a primary zone's secondaries (NS records, also-notify) or a
secondary zone's primaries with this server's.
- 'jarl zone delegation': for zones on the internet, check the parent's
delegation and glue against the zone; an undelegated zone gets a note.
- Server: Jarl/<version> header; CLI exit code 2 for failed checks.

The header now shows the login page's wordmark letters (without the rule)
instead of "Jarl" set in Cinzel, so the bundled Cinzel font, its preload
and its licence stanza in the .deb's copyright file are removed: the web
UI needs no web font.
The README opens with the login page's banner, the logo above the
wordmark (artwork/banner.svg). scripts/banner.py builds it from the web
UI's logo.js and brand.js, with light and dark colors, and logo.py runs
it after tracing the logo.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The logo was an 880 KB SVG wrapping a 1254px PNG, downloaded again on
every page load. Keep that PNG as the master (artwork/logo.png) and have
scripts/logo.py trace it with potrace into a 6 KB logo.svg (favicon,
README) and logo.js, which brand.js draws inline in the header and on the
login page so the logo arrives with the page. Remove the unused
logo-white.svg.
Static files now carry content ETags, so reloads get 304s instead of
downloading the UI again.

jarld also listens on /run/jarl/jarl.sock (socket in jarl.yaml). Requests
on it from root or jarld's own user need no token and act as an
administrator; the kernel's SO_PEERCRED says who is connecting, and
anyone else must send a token. The jarl CLI uses the socket when no server
is configured, or with -s local, so 'sudo jarl status' works on the server
with nothing set up and a lost token or password never locks root out.
Changes are audited under the system user's name via "socket".
The systemd unit creates /run/jarl (0750). Socket paths over 107 bytes
are refused with a clear message. The docs explain the socket and what
happens when a token is revoked.

LICENSE is installed with the docs, included in make dist, and becomes

make deb builds dist/jarl_<version>_<arch>.deb with dpkg-deb alone (no
root), for the host or another architecture (DEB_ARCH=arm64). The package
creates the jarl user and directories and an example jarl.yaml on the
first install, restarts a running jarld on upgrades, never touches
/etc/jarl/jarl.yaml, stops jarld on removal, and keeps Jarl's data even
on purge.
make install and the package install bash completion for jarl and jarld.
Besides commands and flags it completes server and group names from the
CLI configuration, zone, view, ACL, TSIG key and user names from the
server, and record types. make dist includes the completion scripts.
