## Installation
### Debian
For the autoriative server install this package
`# apt install pdns-server`
This is the PowerDNS resolver package
`# apt install pdns-recursor`
PowerDNS offers different backends, which are packaged separately on Debian.
**Mysql Backend**
```sh
sudo apt install pdns-backend-mysql mariadb-server
```
**PostgreSQL Backend**
```sh
sudo apt install pdns-backend-pgsql postgresql
```
## Authoritative Server
> [List of all available backends](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/backends/index.html)
### PostgreSQL Backend
Edit the configuration file in `/etc/powerdns/pdns.conf`
```
...
launch=gpgsql
...
gpgsql-host=127.0.0.1
gpgsql-port=5432
gpgsql-dbname=pdns
gpgsql-user=<user>
gpgsql-password=<password>
gpgsql-dnssec=yes
```
Prepare database
```sh
sudo -u postgres psql
```
```sql
CREATE DATABASE pdns;
CREATE USER <user> WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '<password>';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE pdns TO powerdns;
```
Import the schema utilised by PowerDNS. This can be done with the user you just created
Do note the `-h` parameter is required unless `pg_hba.conf` has been modified to password based authentication locally as well.
```sh
psql -U <user> -d <database> -h 127.0.0.1 -f /usr/share/pdns-backend-pgsql/schema/schema.pgsql.sql
```
```sh
systemctl restart pdns
```
### MySQL Backend
Set the backend you chose in the `launch=` option of PowerDNS' configuration file.
The config can be found under `/etc/powerdns/pdns.conf`
For MySQL I chose `launch=gmysql`
> A [list of backends can be found here](https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/backends/index.html)
Add the following parameters below `launch=gmysql`
```
gmysql-host=127.0.0.1
gmysql-socket=/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
gmysql-user=(user)
gmysql-password=(password)
gmysql-dbname=pdns
# Add this for dnssec support
gmysql-dnssec=yes
```
Prepare database
```sh
mariadb -u root -p
```
```sql
CREATE DATABASE pdns;
GRANT ALL ON pdns.* TO 'pdns'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
```
Import the schema utilised by PowerDNS. This can be done with the user you just created
```sh
mysql -u pdns -p pdns < /usr/share/doc/pdns-backend-mysql/schema.mysql.sql
```
```sh
systemctl restart pdns
```
## PowerDNS CLI
Create Zone and add a name server
`# pdnsutil create-zone (domain) ns1.(domain)`
Add "A"-Record. **Mind the (.) after the domain**
"Name" is the hostname you wish to assign.
`# pdnsutil add-record (domain). (name) A (ip address)`
## Dynamic DNS
`# apt install bind9utils`
Generate key
`# dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 128 -n USER (keyname)`
Edit the configuration file and change `dnsupdate=no` to `dnsupdate=yes` and set `allow-dnsupdate-from=` to empty.
Allow updates from your DHCP server
`# pdnsutil set-meta (domain) ALLOW-DNSUPDATE-FROM (dhcp server ip)`
If you set up a reverse-zone, also allow that
`# pdnsutil set-meta (reverse ip).in-addr.arpa ALLOW-DNSUPDATE-FROM (dhcp server ip)`
Import the key
`# pdnsutil import-tsig-key (keyname) hmac-md5 (key)`
Enable for domain
`# pdnsutil set-meta (domain) TSIG-ALLOW-DNSUPDATE (keyname)`
And for reverse-zone
`# pdnsutil set-meta (reverse ip).in-addr.arpa TSIG-ALLOW-DNSUPDATE (keyname)`
You also have to configure the DHCP server to provide updates, see [the DHCP article](/linux/services/dhcp-server)
### Testing with nsupdate
`# nsupdate -k Kdhcpdupdate.+157+12673.key`
```
> server 127.0.0.1 5300
> zone testpdns
> update add test.testpdns 3600 A 192.168.7.10
> send
```
## Configuration Recursive Resolver
The config file can be found under `/etc/powerdns/recursor.conf`
In `/etc/powerdns/pdns.conf` set `local-address=127.0.0.1` and `local-port=5300` to allow the recursor to run on port 53
In `/etc/powerdns/recursor.conf` set `forward-zones=(domain)=127.0.0.1:5300` to forward queries for that domain to the authoritative DNS
Also set `local-address` and `allow-from`
To bind to all interfaces, use `local-address=::,0.0.0.0`
### Wipe Cache
`# rec_control wipe-cache $`
## DNSSEC
### Authoritative Server
> https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/dnssec/index.html
### Recursor Server
To fully enable DNSSEC, set `dnssec=process-no-validate` to `dnssec=validate`
To allow a domain without DNSSEC, modify `/etc/powerdns/recursor.lua`
Add `addNTA('(domain)')` to disable DNSSEC for the selected domain.
Show domains with disabled DNSSEC
`# rec_control get-ntas`
> [DNSSEC Testing](https://wiki.debian.org/DNSSEC#Test_DNSSEC)
## WebGUI
### PowerDNS-Admin
```sh
sudo mkdir /etc/powerdns-admin
```
```sh
sudo podman run -d \
--name powerdns-admin \
-e SECRET_KEY='<key>' \
-v /etc/powerdns-admin:/data \
-p 9191:80 \
docker.io/powerdnsadmin/pda-legacy:latest
```
#### Enabling API
A few settings in `/etc/powerdns/pdns.conf` need to be changed.
```
api=yes
api-key=<key>
webserver=yes
```
Following this, the API access can be configured in the webgui
![Configuration options in PowerDNS Admin](powerdns-admin-api-settings.png)
Now you should see all your configured Domains and be able to modify records
