PDNS GUI is a graphical user interface for PowerDNS, an open source DNS server software. This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for installing PDNS GUI on Manjaro Linux.
Before installing PDNS GUI, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To install PDNS GUI on Manjaro, you need to clone the PDNS GUI repository from the Github URL https://github.com/odoucet/pdns-gui using the following command in the terminal:
sudo git clone https://github.com/odoucet/pdns-gui /var/www/html/pdns-gui
This command will clone the repository and save it in the /var/www/html/pdns-gui directory.
To configure the Apache web server, you need to create a new virtual host configuration file for PDNS GUI. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pdns-gui.conf
In the configuration file, add the following lines:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName pdns-gui.local
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/pdns-gui"
<Directory "/var/www/html/pdns-gui">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save the file and exit.
Next, run the following command to enable the new virtual host configuration file:
sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/pdns-gui.conf /etc/httpd/conf-enabled/pdns-gui.conf
Finally, restart the Apache web server with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
Once the Apache web server is configured, you can access PDNS GUI by opening a web browser and navigating to the URL http://pdns-gui.local/.
You should see the PDNS GUI login page. The default login credentials are:
Enter these credentials to log in and start using PDNS GUI.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install PDNS GUI on Manjaro Linux. With PDNS GUI, you can manage a PowerDNS server with ease using a web interface. Good luck!
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!
