In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Designate on Debian Latest. Designate is an OpenStack project that provides DNSaaS (Domain Name System as a Service) functionality for OpenStack clouds.
Before we start installing Designate on Debian latest, make sure you have:
Follow the below steps to install Designate on Debian latest:
Before we start the installation process, update your system using the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
To install Designate on Debian Latest, we need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install git python3-dev python3-pip libssl-dev libffi-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libpq-dev
Now, we need to clone the Designate repository by using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/openstack/designate.git
Navigate to the cloned directory and install Designate by running the following command:
cd designate && sudo python3 setup.py install
To verify the installation, run the following command:
designate-manage --version
You should see the version of Designate installed in your system.
Now, we need to configure the Designate service. Copy the configuration file and customize it by running the following command:
sudo cp etc/designate/designate.conf.sample /etc/designate/designate.conf
sudo nano /etc/designate/designate.conf
In the configuration file, update the following parameters:
[service:api]
auth_strategy = keystone
api_host = 0.0.0.0
api_port = 9001
[keystone_authtoken]
auth_type = password
auth_url = http://<keystone-ip>:5000/v3
username = <admin-username>
password = <admin-password>
project_name = service
project_domain_name = Default
user_domain_name = Default
Save and close the file.
Now, we need to create a database for Designate. Run the following command to create a database and a database user:
sudo su -s /bin/bash designate -c 'designate-manage database sync'
Finally, start the Designate services by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start designate-api.service designate-central.service designate-producer.service designate-mdns.service designate-sink.service
To check the status of the Designate service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl status designate-api.service designate-central.service designate-producer.service designate-mdns.service designate-sink.service
If everything is configured correctly, you should see the services are active.
To test the Designate service, run the following command:
designate domain-list
You should see the list of domains.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Designate on Debian latest. You can now use Designate to provide DNSaaS functionality for your OpenStack cloud.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
