Run Bind9 in Even

Even Stacks launches Bind9 as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Bind9 in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 56, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://bind9.localhost.

Drive Bind9 with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Bind9 directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, check its status and logs, and reconfigure it. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Bind9 and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: No web UI. Edit zone files in the /etc/bind/ volume, validate with `docker exec -it bind9 named-checkconf`, then reload with `docker exec -it bind9 rndc reload`. Test resolution using `dig @127.0.0.1 example.com` from the host.
