zonebuild

• Generate DNS zones from dn42 registry files

Installation

• Prepare:

  apt-get update
  apt-get install bind9 monotone git python3
  cd /etc/bind

• Clone:

  git clone git://github.com/nixnodes/zonebuild.git

• Compile and install zbuild:

cd zonebuild
make clean
./configure
sudo make install

• Configure:

  vi scripts/config.user

  REGISTRY_BASE_PATH=/etc/bind
  REGISTRY_PATH=${REGISTRY_BASE_PATH}/net.dn42.registry/data
  OUT_PATH=/etc/bind
  

  • Data is written in $OUT_PATH/<tier[0-2]|res|ipv6>/
  • Registry repo will be created in $REGISTRY_BASE_PATH

  Default settings are stored inscripts/config, all changes should be put in scripts/config.user

Run:

Execute with absolute path:

• Build reverse and forward tier1 and tier2 zones, self update before running:

  /etc/bind/zonebuild/scripts/run.sh arpa zone -update

  • include "$REGISTRY_BASE_PATH/tier<1|2>/named.conf";

• Build root zones (<a-z>.root-servers.dn42):

  /etc/bind/zonebuild/scripts/run.sh root -update

  • include "$REGISTRY_BASE_PATH/tier0/named.conf";

• Build resolver files:

  /etc/bind/zonebuild/scripts/run.sh res -update

  • include "$REGISTRY_BASE_PATH/res/named.conf";
  • NOTE you have to restart your bind the first time you include this configuration, after running rndc reload the new root hints will not be used.
