In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install Bind from https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/ on EndeavourOS latest using the command line.
Before installing Bind, we need to ensure that our system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update your system with the latest available packages.
To install Bind on EndeavourOS, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S bind
This command will install Bind and its dependencies on your system.
To verify that the installation of Bind was successful, you can run the following command to check the version of Bind:
named -v
Next, we need to configure Bind by editing the configuration file /etc/named.conf. You can use any text editor of your choice to edit this file. For example, to edit this file using Nano, run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/named.conf
Then, update the configuration file to your needs. It is recommended to at least update the options section as per your requirements, such as setting up the DNS servers, configuring logging or enforcing security measures.
To check whether the configuration is working as expected or not, you can run the following command:
sudo named-checkconf /etc/named.conf
If everything is fine, you should see no error messages.
Finally, run the following command to start the Bind service:
sudo systemctl start named.service
You have successfully installed Bind on EndeavourOS and configured its initial configuration. You can now use Bind to serve DNS requests on your network.
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!
