bunny dns is experimental and hidden from --help and the landing page
while it stabilizes. Commands and flags may change.
bunny dns manages DNS through two resource groups:
bunny dns record manages the entries within a zone.bunny dns zone manages the zone itself: settings, DNSSEC, logging, stats, and nameservers.
The [domain] argument accepts either the zone’s domain name or its numeric zone ID, and is optional everywhere. Omit it and you’ll be prompted to pick a zone. record update and record remove likewise prompt you to pick a record when the ID is omitted.
record aliases to records / rec; zone aliases to zones (and domain / domains).
Records
Manage the DNS records within a zone.
# List records within a zone
bunny dns record list example.com
bunny dns rec ls example.com
# Add records (use '@' for the zone apex)
bunny dns record add example.com api A 198.51.100.1
bunny dns record add example.com '@' MX mail.example.com 10
bunny dns record add example.com '@' SRV 10 0 389 sip.example.com
bunny dns record add example.com '@' CAA '0 issue "letsencrypt.org"'
# Link a record to a pull zone or Edge Script
bunny dns record add example.com cdn PullZone --pull-zone 12345
bunny dns record add example.com fn Script --script 67890
# Interactive wizard: omit the record type (or all args) to be prompted
bunny dns record add
bunny dns record add example.com
# Update / remove a record by its ID
bunny dns record update example.com 123 --value 198.51.100.2 --ttl 3600
bunny dns record remove example.com 123
# Import / export a BIND zone file
bunny dns record import example.com ./zonefile.txt
bunny dns record export example.com # print to stdout
bunny dns record export example.com --file ./my.zone # write to a path
bunny dns record export example.com --save # write to ./example.com.zone
Record value ordering
Positional values for record add follow the record type:
| Type | Positional values |
|---|
A / AAAA / CNAME / TXT / NS | <value> |
MX | <value> <priority> |
SRV | <priority> <weight> <port> <target> |
CAA | '<flags> <tag> "<value>"' (single quoted string) |
PullZone | none, pass --pull-zone <id> |
Script | none, pass --script <id> |
Zones
Manage zone lifecycle, statistics, nameservers, DNSSEC, and query logging.
# Lifecycle
bunny dns zone list
bunny dns zone add example.com
bunny dns zone show example.com
bunny dns zone remove example.com
# Query statistics (defaults to the last 30 days; text mode draws a bar chart)
bunny dns zone stats example.com
bunny dns zone stats example.com --from 2026-05-01 --to 2026-05-31
# Nameservers to set at your registrar (custom if enabled, else bunny.net defaults)
bunny dns zone nameservers example.com
bunny dns zone ns example.com
# DNSSEC: enable prints the DS record to register at your domain registrar
bunny dns zone dnssec enable example.com
bunny dns zone dnssec disable example.com
# DNS query logging: enable to start collecting logs (optionally anonymize IPs)
bunny dns zone logging enable example.com
bunny dns zone logging enable example.com --anonymize-ip --anonymization drop
bunny dns zone logging disable example.com
