RPM SPEC file

[Thulium-Drake]

Hi there,

Thanks for making this simple to use, but very powerful tool as a lightweight alternative to pi-hole :-)

I wrote a RPM SPEC file that will download the already compiled version from Github (I've never really bothered compiling Go stuff myself when it's already published on Github). It will download the specified version from Github (so if you have a script that will check on GH what the latest release is, you can have this SPEC file build you a package that will fit) and download the appropriate reference config file as well and add it as the example config in /etc/blocky

I've added it below in case it might inspire or help someone (don't mind the changelog, I needs a date and I wrote the SPEC I based this on back in January, I guess ;-) ):

* Mon Jan 29 2024 Jeffrey van Pelt <[email protected]> - 0.0.1
- Initial RPM package

I also added a systemd Service to start it up accordingly:

[Unit]
Description=Blocky DNS server
After=network.target

[Service]
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/blocky -c /etc/blocky/config.yml

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When you have rpmbuild set up, you can build it as follows:

rpmbuild -bb -D '%version 0.24' SPECS/blocky.spec
