How To Install And Configure DNS Server In Linux

In this video, we show you how to install and configure DNS server in Linux using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Bind We'll set up a DNS forwarder for Internet DNS resolution, as well as forward and reverse lookup zones for our local network Useful links: https://ubuntu.com/download/server ===================================== Donate through Paypal: https://paypal.me/DavidMcKone Donate through Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/dmckone Become a monthly contributor on Patreon:   / dmckone   ===================================== Installation and configuration example: 1) Install Ubuntu and apply the latest patches 2) Install and configure Bind9 sudo apt install -y bind9 bind9utils bind9-doc dnsutils 3) Configure DNS Forwarding cd /etc/bind backup the existing file, named.conf.options e.g. sudo cp named.conf.options named.conf.options.bak edit named.conf.options e.g. sudo nano named.conf.options so it looks something like this acl trustedclients { localhost; localnets; 172.16.18.0/24; 172.16.19.0/24; }; options { directory "/var/cache/bind"; recursion yes; allow-query { trustedclients; }; allow-query-cache { trustedclients; }; allow-recursion { trustedclients; }; forwarders { 1.1.1.2; 1.0.0.2; }; dnssec-validation no; listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; }; listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 172.16.17.10; }; }; NOTE: DNSSec disabled as it was found to cause issues for Ubuntu 20.04 4) Define zone files backup the existing file named.conf.local e.g. sudo cp named.conf.local named.conf.local.bak edit named.conf.local e.g. sudo nano named.conf.local so it looks something like this zone "templab.lan" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.templab.lan"; }; zone "17.16.172.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/bind/db.172.16.17"; }; check the file for errors sudo named-checkconf 5) Create a forward lookup zone copy an existing file to one with the name used before e.g. sudo cp db.local db.templab.lan edit the file e.g. sudo nano db.templab.lan so that it looks something like this ; ; BIND data file for templab.lan zone ; $TTL 604800 @ IN SOA ns1.templab.lan. admin.templab.lan. ( 3 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS ns1.templab.lan. ns1 IN A 172.16.17.10 dhcp1 IN A 172.16.17.12 fw IN A 172.16.18.254 check the file syntax sudo named-checkzone templab.lan db.templab.lan 6) Create a reverse lookup zone copy an existing file to one with the name used before e.g. sudo cp db.127 db.172.16.17 edit the file e.g. sudo nano db.172.16.17 so that it looks something like this ; ; BIND reverse data file for templab.lan zone ; $TTL 604800 @ IN SOA ns1.templab.lan. admin.templab.lan. ( 2 ; Serial 604800 ; Refresh 86400 ; Retry 2419200 ; Expire 604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL ; @ IN NS ns1.templab.lan. 10 IN PTR ns1.templab.lan. 12 IN PTR dhcp1.templab.lan. check the file syntax sudo named-checkzone 17.16.172.in-addr.arpa db.172.16.17 7) Edit the server's DNS entry to use it's own DNS server cd /etc/netplan edit the yaml configuration file, e.g. sudo nano 00-installer-config.yaml change the IP address of the dns server entry and save the file apply the change sudo netplan apply 8) Start and test DNS start bind9 sudo systemctl start bind9 check its status sudo systemctl status bind9 test DNS is working e.g. host dhcp1.templab.lan host 172.16.17.10 ping www.amazon.com Credits: LoveLife | Instrumental Prod.
