Install dnsglobe on Ubuntu 26.04

The dnsglobe is a terminal-based DNS propagation checker written in Rust. It queries many public DNS resolvers around the world in parallel, compares the returned DNS records, and shows how a DNS change is propagating across different locations. This tutorial explains how to install dnsglobe on Ubuntu 26.04.

Install dnsglobe

Download the latest release archive and extract the dnsglobe executable directly into /usr/local/bin:

curl -sSL https://github.com/514-labs/dnsglobe/releases/latest/download/dnsglobe-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz \
  | sudo tar xJ --strip-components=1 -C /usr/local/bin --wildcards '*/dnsglobe'

To verify installation, check the dnsglobe version:

dnsglobe --version

Testing dnsglobe

Start a DNS propagation check by specifying a domain:

dnsglobe github.com

The dnsglobe queries its configured public DNS resolvers and displays their individual responses, including resolver information, latency, TTL, and propagation status.

Uninstall dnsglobe

If the dnsglobe is no longer needed, remove the installed executable from the system:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/dnsglobe
