Installing PowerDNS on POP! OS Latest

PowerDNS is a powerful, open-source DNS server that provides a reliable and scalable DNS infrastructure. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PowerDNS on POP! OS Latest in a few simple steps.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1: Add the PowerDNS Repository

The first step in installing PowerDNS is to add the PowerDNS repository to your system. To do so, open a terminal window and type the following command:

$ curl https://repo.powerdns.com/FD380FBB-pub.asc | sudo apt-key add -

Next, add the repository to your system's sources list by running the following command:

$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.powerdns.com/$POP_CODENAME/ubuntu $POP_VERSION main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pdns.list

Note: Replace the Pop_OS version with your pop_OS version.

Step 2: Install PowerDNS

Once the repository has been added, update your system's package list by running the following command:

$ sudo apt update

Now, install PowerDNS by running the following command:

$ sudo apt install pdns-server pdns-backend-sqlite3

This will install the main PowerDNS server and the SQLite3 backend.

Step 3: Configure PowerDNS

After installing PowerDNS, you need to configure it to fit your specific needs. By default, the configuration file is located at /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf.

Edit the configuration file with your favorite text editor:

$ sudo nano /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf

In this file, you can configure various aspects of the PowerDNS server, such as the backend database, DNSSEC settings, query logging, and more.

Step 4: Start and Enable PowerDNS

After configuring PowerDNS, start it by running the following command:

$ sudo systemctl start pdns

To enable PowerDNS to start automatically on boot, run the following command:

$ sudo systemctl enable pdns
