This section is mandatory and, we admit, not accessible to non-technical audience. We have plans for this before releasing to early-adopters. These instructions are a placeholder suitable for Wild Cloud devs and will be replaced before the Early-Adopter release.

|
## Get your hardware
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have a dedicated machine for your DNS server. It can be tiny, like an Orange Pi Zero.
|
|
|
|
## Install your OS
|
|
|
|
- Install another Debian-based Linux machine on your LAN (e.g. Debian or Ubuntu).
|
|
- Make sure you can SSH in from your operator machine.
|
|
- Record it's IP address.
|
|
|
|
## Install the DNS software
|
|
|
|
- Run `wild-dnsmasq-install` from your Wild Cloud Home on your operator machine.
|
|
|
|
## Update your LAN router
|
|
|
|
- Log in to your LAN router's web interface.
|
|
- Find the DHCP settings and reserve the IP address you recorded for your DNS server.
|
|
- Set the DNS server for your LAN to the IP address of your DNS server.
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
Now that you have a DNS server set up, let's [set up your wild cloud](../setup-wild-cloud/).
