  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • sqlitebrowser

    Official home of the DB Browser for SQLite (DB4S) project. Previously known as "SQLite Database Browser" and "Database Browser for SQLite". Website at:

  • Custom KV store isn't just a SQLite file, right? Because there are tools for that

  • DnsControl

    Infrastructure as code for DNS!

  • Since it sounds like you have to rebuild from scratch, you may want to consider RFC 2136 for Dynamic DNS, and DNSControl for everything else. You could even just roll DNSControl with a custom web script and Cron if you want to skip RFC 2136.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • PowerDNS

    PowerDNS Authoritative, PowerDNS Recursor, dnsdist

  • After that, all you need to do is to spin up a new DNS server (I can recommend PowerDNS) and fill in the recovered data. I think it shouldn't take longer than a few days to do all this.
