Atomia DNS is a powerful DNS management tool that allows you to easily manage your DNS zones and records. If you are looking to install Atomia DNS on POP! OS, then you are in the right place. In this tutorial, we will show you step-by-step how to install Atomia DNS on POP! OS Latest.
Before we start installing anything, it's always a good idea to update the system. You can update the system with the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
In order to install Atomia DNS, we need to install some dependencies first. Run the following command to install them:
sudo apt install -y make gcc pkg-config libssl-dev libpcre3-dev libxml2-dev libev-dev ragel
Next, we need to install the popular database management system: MariaDB. Run the following commands to install it:
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-key adv --fetch-keys 'https://mariadb.org/mariadb_release_signing_key.asc'
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb [arch=amd64] https://mirror.zol.co.zw/mariadb/repo/10.5/ubuntu focal main'
sudo apt-get -y update
sudo apt-get install -y mariadb-server
Now that we have installed MariaDB, we need to configure it. Run the following command to get started:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
This will prompt you through a series of questions. Just follow the prompts to set the root password and decide whether or not to disable the root login remotely. For the rest, you can just use the default settings.
Once we have installed and configured MariaDB, we need to create a database and user for Atomia DNS. Run the following commands to create a database and user:
sudo mysql -u root -p
This command will launch the MariaDB shell. Enter your root password when prompted. Then, run the following commands:
CREATE DATABASE atomia;
CREATE USER 'atomia'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON atomia.* TO 'atomia'@'localhost';
Make sure to replace 'password' with a secure password.
Exit the MariaDB shell with the following command:
exit
Now that we have prepared the system, we can finally install Atomia DNS. Go to Atomia DNS's download section at http://atomiadns.com/downloads and download the latest version.
You can download the latest version with the following command:
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/atomiadns/atomiadns-3.0.10p1.tar.gz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive with the following command:
tar -zxvf atomiadns-3.0.10p1.tar.gz
Now, navigate to the newly created directory:
cd atomiadns-3.0.10p1
Run the installation script with the following command:
sudo ./install.sh
This will install Atomia DNS on your system.
Now that Atomia DNS is installed, we need to configure it. To start with configuring the system, we need to create a configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/atomiadns/atomiadns.conf
Add the following to the configuration file:
[database]
type = mysql
host = localhost
database = atomia
user = atomia
password = password
Make sure to replace 'password' with a secure password.
Save and exit the file.
Once everything is set up, we can start the Atomia DNS service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start atomiadns
sudo systemctl enable atomiadns
Atomia DNS is now installed and running on your system. You can access the web interface by navigating to http://localhost:8080 in your browser.
