Docker - DNS Server

This is an old revision of the document!

What Is DNS and How Does It Work – A Comprehensive Guide I propose to create a Docker Bind9 Image using base Docker Alpine Linux images, with S6 init system.

The main router must be set to forward packets! The ability to forward packets must be set / allowed, edit or add the following parameters in sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf:

net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.proxy_arp = 1
sudo sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 similar for ipv6

After applying these changes reboot or apply setting using sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf

/usr/sbin/named -f -4 to start the isc-bind9 application called named,
- -f to run in foreground
- -4 to run ipv4 only
rndc stop to stop named - need to implement this in S6
rndc reload to reload the named configuration files
named-checkconf /etc/bind/named.conf
named-checkzone kptree.net /etc/bind/db.kptree.net
named-checkzone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa /etc/bind/db.1.168.192
cat /log/named/bind.log to list bind log file
From Listing all zones loaded in BIND
- rndc dumpdb -zones
- cat /var/bind/named_dump.db to see the database dump
- named-checkconf -l does this option still exist?
- named-checkconf -p for a flatened uncomment listing of the configuration files
