Knot is a high-performance DNS server that supports multiple types of databases and DNS protocols. Installing Knot on Fedora CoreOS is quite simple and can be done in just a few steps. This tutorial will take you through the installation process.
Before we begin with the installation, there are a few prerequisites that we need to have in place.
Follow the steps below to install Knot on Fedora CoreOS.
First, we need to install the packages required for Knot to run. Run the following command to install them:
sudo rpm-ostree install knot
Once you have installed Knot, you need to configure it. Knot's configuration is located in /etc/knot/knot.conf. Open the file using your favorite text editor:
sudo vi /etc/knot/knot.conf
The configuration file contains all the information that Knot requires to run.
After configuring Knot, we need to start the Knot service. Run the following command to start the service:
sudo systemctl start knot
If there are no errors in the configuration file, the service should start successfully.
To test the installation, we will need to check if the Knot DNS server is running. Use the following command to check the status of the Knot service:
sudo systemctl status knot
If the service is running, you should see a status message confirming that. You can also use dig or another DNS lookup tool to confirm that the server is working.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Knot on Fedora CoreOS. You can now use Knot as your DNS server. You can also configure Knot to work with different types of databases and DNS protocols.
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!
