Lookup Ninja

A PHP-based WHOIS and DNS lookup tool.

Installing Lookup Ninja on your Server

Lookup Ninja has been developed to be installed at /, not in a sub-directory, thus we recommend either setting up a domain just for your instance, or setting up a subdomain for it.

Instances have been successfully setup on both Apache and Nginx, though the latter is all we officialy support due to config files.

Recommended * :

• Nginx server
• PHP 7.2, or later

* instances using this software have been successful

Guide

1. Clone this Git repo into a directory within /var/www
2. Copy the Nginx config file into /etc/nginx/sites-available under the name lookupninja
3. Change server_name to the domain/sub-domain where you're installing your instance
4. Change root to where the instance's source code is (within /var/www)
5. Symbolically link /etc/nginx/sites-available/lookupninja and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lookupninja using ln -s
6. Reload Nginx (on Debian-based distros use systemctl reload nginx)
7. HIGHLY recommended: Run certbot on your new instance's subdomain/domain

Submit your Instance!

You can submit your instance to Lookup Ninja's Public Instances Index, available at lookup.ninja. Submission instructions are available on Github.
