Getting Started

5 minute setup

A step-by-step onboarding guide to get NexoralDNS running on your network in about five minutes.

Prerequisites

✓Linux, macOS, or Windows — any OS that runs Docker

✓2GB+ RAM recommended (minimum)

✓Terminal / shell access to run commands

✓Network access with LAN connectivity

ℹ️

Docker is handled for you

Docker will be installed automatically if it is not already present on your system.

Run the one-command installer. This downloads and starts all required services automatically.

bash

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nexoral/NexoralDNS/main/Scripts/install.sh | bash -

Once services are up, open the web dashboard in your browser.

▸From this machine — http://localhost:4000

▸From other devices — http://192.168.x.x:4000

Point your network at NexoralDNS so every device benefits.

▸Log into your router admin panel (usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1)

▸Find DNS settings under LAN, DHCP, or Network

▸Set Primary DNS to your NexoralDNS server IP

▸Save and restart your router

In the dashboard, go to Domains → Add Domain.

▸Enter domain — myserver.local

▸Point to IP — 192.168.1.100

▸Now try pinging myserver.local from any device!
