Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks @coderobe! Patch applied, it looks cleaner now. I've also removed the exe file as it is not required.

here's a patch for the latest version. 15.0 added some new dlls without which the server fails to start (oidc), so the patched pkgbuild just installs all of them instead of the tedious manual list it was before. it was also built against the current aspnet runtime, so relaxing that requirement is fine

Hi @deuscode97! Yes, currently there is a hard dependency to aspnet-runtime-9.0.

It's on purpose. Technitium DNS Server 14.3 is compiled with .NET 9. It should work with .NET 10 too, but I have to test it before updating the dependency to aspnet-runtime>=9.0.

I will update it as soon as I test it.

Either way, feel free to test it yourself, change depends=('aspnet-runtime-9.0') to depends=('aspnet-runtime') in the PKGBUILD and run makepkg.

Looks like there's a new version of asp net-runtime that breaks the package update process as I think there's a hard dependency to 9.0

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing aspnet-runtime (10.0.0.sdk100-1) breaks dependency 'aspnet-runtime-9.0' required by technitium-dns-server-bin
 -> error installing repo packages

Thanks @Terrance, fixed!

DNS over HTTP(S) doesn't appear to work because the document root dohwww isn't included in the package, leading to:

[2025-11-09 18:29:48 UTC] [[::]:5380] [HTTP] DNS Server failed to bind.
[2025-11-09 18:29:48 UTC] System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: /opt/technitium-dns-server/dohwww/

   at DnsServerCore.Dns.DnsServer.StartDoHAsync() in Z:\Technitium\Projects\DnsServer\DnsServerCore\Dns\DnsServer.cs:line 4623

The missing package() step:

cp -r dohwww "$pkgdir/opt/$_pkgname/dohwww"

Hi @kekistan, thanks for pointing that out. It should be fixed, let me know if you still get the error.

When trying to resolve cryptostorm.is I get the following error message:

IO error for cryptostorm.is. A IN: Could not load file or assembly 'BouncyCastle.Cryptography, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=072edc

Technitium's author determined this to be a dependency issue.

Thanks for pointing that out, @NextWorks. Fixed!

Somehow it built succesfully with version 13.5, maybe they removed that directory from the archive and only kept 13.5.0.
