I'm unable to get this working. Downloaded the binary and followed the docs but kept getting the following error.

Forward ICAN queries to 8.8.8.8

Error: Os { code 13, kind: PermissionDenied}

I thought it required root access but the error message is now AddrInUse.

the last error message means that your port 53 is already in use.

on debian based systems it is systemd-resolved

This is why pkdns was an ambition not something we actively tried to sell to people, convincing users to do any of this is pretty hard. Luckily app developers can add support Pkarr and Pubky by embedding it in their apps without asking users to change anything on their system.

Didn't expect many people to get as excited as you about it, but maybe one day browsers and popular DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 will support it natively, and users will get it without much configuration

Can we convince Mullvad VPN to support it? 💪

I am just more like a user. Not really a hardcore in depth developer.

stupid questions arise in my head: in my user world I dream of something like a package I can install and then it will just hook into my systems dns.

sudo dnf install pkdns-plugin

and then my system can resolve all the things.
