This tutorial will guide you through the steps to install PowerDNS on Clear Linux Latest.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
PowerDNS is not available in the standard Clear Linux repositories, so we need to add the PowerDNS repository first. To do this, run the following command:
sudo swupd add-repo powerdns https://repo.powerdns.com/repo-files/centos-8.repo
This command will add the PowerDNS repository to your system's software repository list.
Once the repository has been added, we can install PowerDNS using the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add dns-powerdns
This command will install the PowerDNS package along with all the required dependencies.
By default, the PowerDNS configuration file is located at /etc/pdns/pdns.conf. You may need to modify this file for your specific needs. For example, if you want to enable DNSSEC support, you can uncomment the following line in the configuration file:
# dnssec=on
Similarly, other configuration options can be modified as per your requirements.
Once the configuration file has been modified (if necessary), you can start the PowerDNS service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start pdns.service
You can also enable the PowerDNS service to start automatically at boot time using the following command:
sudo systemctl enable pdns.service
In this tutorial, we have seen how to install and configure PowerDNS on Clear Linux Latest. With PowerDNS, you can have a reliable and scalable DNS infrastructure for serving your DNS queries.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
