I'm pretty new to Yggdrasil but I am thoroughly enjoying the experience so far. It's fast, it's new, it works.

One thing I've noticed is some sites are using .ygg domains, obviously a tld that can only be resolved through the network.

In web-site directories such as this: http://[300:529f:150c:eafe::1]/ I see .ygg domains as listed along side the IPV6 counterparts. I wanted to know how to get one myself, and unfortunately the clearnet hasn't been a vast help but I did find this Russian wiki here http://[300:529f:150c:eafe::6]/doku.php?id=yggdrasil:dns_client that discusses it, which lead me to https://github.com/Revertron/wyrd , a DNS implementation for the Yggdrasil network.

But I'm still a bit unclear here. Maybe I'm just tired.

In the example given below:

NodeInfo: {
 dns: {
 domains: [
 {
 domain: example.ygg
 ip: 200:1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777
 }
 ]
 }
}

Is that really all that's required (at minimum) to claim a .ygg domain and have your site resolve at that address? Just drop that into /etc/bind/named.conf.local and wait for a Yggdrasil crawler to detect it? And for those who have installed the crawler (peers) to have their database of addresses updated?

/u/styromaniac, you're a yggdrasil guy, right?

Not in bind config. NodeInfo data should go into Yggdrasil config.

To resolve .ygg zone, you either need to run Wyrd yourself, or use one of third-party servers specified in readme.

Ahhh, yes, that makes more sense. I guess I should have known that, but have been running on fumes. I'll update it soon.

I've been wondering the same. I also want to know how to resolve YGG domains on desktop. Yggdrasil-Android already has YGG domain resolution built in.
