This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) on Ubuntu Server. BIND is an open source software that is used to implement DNS (Domain Name System) protocols.
Before starting the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to update the package repository by running the following command:
sudo apt update
Once the package repository is updated, you can install BIND using the following command:
sudo apt install bind9
After the installation is complete, you need to start the BIND service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start bind9
To ensure that the BIND service starts automatically every time the system boots up, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable bind9
To verify that the BIND installation was successful, run the following command to check the status of the service:
sudo systemctl status bind9
If the installation was successful, you will see a status message that the service is active and running.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install BIND on Ubuntu Server. You should now be able to configure and manage a DNS service using BIND.
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!
