You get many DNS resolution solutions, such as DNS over TLS, DNS over HTTPS, and DNS over QUIC, within one single project. Of the open source DNS options I've used, Adguard Home is the easiest to set up and maintain. I found that it has some unique features worth exploring. However, lately, I've been running the open source project Adguard Home on my network. I've used Pi-hole in the past and still recommend it today. I believe it's vital that you run your own DNS server so you can block advertisements and keep your browsing private, away from providers attempting to analyze your online interactions. But you can run your own DNS service so you have more control over how it's used. You don't want to turn off DNS entirely because it's very useful. Similarly, software that tracks your movement online is often enabled by services resolved over DNS. For instance, paid advertisements appear on web pages because your browser naturally uses DNS to resolve where those ads 'live' on the internet. DNS is a great convenience for internet users, but it's not without drawbacks. This is how your web browser knows where in the world to look for data when you enter a URL or when a search engine returns a URL for you to visit. Welcome to the communityĪ Domain Name Server (DNS) associates a domain name (like ) with an IP address (like 93.184.216.34).As an environment variable (if no command line flag is used).The topic will explain three different methods for setting -brokers and -api-urls, and the order of precedence (which setting overrides which): The topic will include a sample rpk section from a redpanda.yaml file, showing the kafka_api section with the brokers declaration, and the admin_api section with the addresses declaration. This needs to be fixed by Eng ( redpanda-data/redpanda#9433)

NOTE: The rpk redpanda admin commands use -hosts instead of -api-urls, which introduces inconsistency and confusion. The explanation will include a table to summarize which commands use which flag.

This distinction has confused a lot of users in the Redpanda Community Slack channel. This topic explains when to use -brokers on the command line and when to use -api-urls, and why these addresses are needed (so rpk can communicate with the Redpanda cluster).
