Where Does Technitiem Store Zones and Logs?
Technitiem keeps DNS zones, blocklists, and query logs in its data directory with config in appsettings files. Back up zones before updates.
Last updated
Technitiem serves DNS with ad-blocking from local data. Zone files with records, blocklist caches, query logs, and settings persist in the data directory beside the config. Docker and bare installs share the layout.
That makes the data directory the backup unit with the service stopped. Exact paths may vary by install method, so read the live config before scripting. Forwarders handle upstream resolution; local zones answer first. Statistics graph query volumes. API tokens automate failover. RPZ feeds block threats.

Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate Technitiem?
Archive the data directory with the service stopped, then restore to matching paths on the new host. Zones and blocklists travel together. Fix ownership afterward and verify resolution.
How do I manage blocklists?
Add blocklist URLs in the settings panel and let the scheduler refresh them. Custom allow rules override blocks per domain. Logs name the blocking list for tuning.
