Designate is a DNS as a Service project within the OpenStack community. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Designate on NetBSD.
Before we begin installing Designate, it's important to make sure your NetBSD system is up to date.
sudo pkgin update
sudo pkgin full-upgrade
Designate requires a number of packages to be installed on the system.
sudo pkgin install python27 py27-pip git sqlite3
We will clone the Designate repository from GitHub.
git clone -b stable/queens https://github.com/openstack/designate.git
Next, move into the newly cloned Designate directory and install Designate.
cd designate
sudo python2.7 setup.py install
Now that Designate is installed, we can configure it to run on our NetBSD system.
sudo cp etc/designate/designate.conf.sample /etc/designate/designate.conf
sudo cp etc/designate/api-paste.ini /etc/designate/api-paste.ini
We will initialize the Designate database and then add the database user.
sudo designate-manage database init
sudo designate-manage database sync
sudo designate-manage database create-user \
--name designate --password designate \
--email designate@example.com
Finally, we can start the Designate service.
sudo designate-central &
sudo designate-api &
sudo designate-mdns &
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Designate on NetBSD. You can now use Designate to manage your DNS infrastructure.
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!
