Installs/Configures PowerDNS Recursor and Authoritative server
cookbook 'pdns', '= 3.4.0', :supermarket
knife supermarket install pdns
knife supermarket download pdns
PowerDNS Community Cookbook
Provides resources for installing and configuring both PowerDNS authoritative and recursor. It uses the official PowerDNS repositories for packages and installs the appropiate configuration for your platform's init system.
Build Status
Requirements
IMPORTANT: Please read the Deprecations and Compatibility Notes sections below since there are breaking changes between versions 2 and 3 of this cookbook.
Deprecations
- The recipe and attribute based way of setting different PowerDNS installs is completely deprecated, there are no attributes in the newest version of this cookbok neither recipes to add to the run list.
-
pdnsrecord
anddomainrecord
resources have been deprecated since they were coupled with sqlite3 backend. - Ubuntu 12.02 support has been removed, if you want this platform to be supported PRs are welcome, see the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
Compatibility Notes
**This cookbook has been completely rewritten, transitioning from an attribute recipe based design to a newer resource based design.
TLDR:
BREAKING CHANGES, Please pin your PowerDNS installs pin your cookbook to the latest 2.5.0 version. We also advise to read this document carefully.
**
The current version of the cookbook provides basic support for recursors and authoritative servers with a handful of platforms, backends and init systems supported. You can find what is supported in this table:
Platform | Backends | Init Systems |
---|---|---|
Debian | bind, postgresql | SysVinit |
CentOS | bind, postgresql | SysVinit |
IMPORTANT:
Versions 3.0 to 3.2 of this cookbook has used a different naming schema for init scripts and config files.
In order to conform with PowerDNS specifications for its virtual hosting features, we have changed the way of naming init scripts and config files. PowerDNS advices not to use hyphens -
on init scripts, after their own prefixes (which uses hyphens).
If you are upgrading from one of those versions here are some recomendations to migrate to newer versions.
- Authoritative:
What has changed inside the resources:
Services declaration change on (3.0.0 to 3.2.0) from: service 'pdns-authoritative-<your-resource-name>' do
To (> 3.3.0): service "pdns-authoritative_#{new_resource.instance_name}" do
Configuration files change on (3.0.0 to 3.2.0) from: template "pdns-authoritative-#{new_resource.instance_name}.conf" do
To (> 3.3.0): template "pdns-authoritative_#{new_resource.instance_name}.conf" do
Init scripts change on (3.0.0 to 3.2.0) from: template "/etc/init.d/pdns-authoritative-#{new_resource.instance_name}" do
To (> 3.3.0): template "/etc/init.d/pdns-authoritative_#{new_resource.instance_name}" do
One way of fixing this is to add to your recipe a block of code similar to the one below this lines, this will delete the outdated configuration files.
execute 'service pdns-authoritative- stop' do
action :run
only_if { ::File.exists? '/etc/init.d/pdns-authoritative-' }
end
execute '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f pdns-authoritative- remove' do
action :run
only_if { ::File.exists? '/etc/init.d/pdns-authoritative-' }
end
file 'pdns-authoritative-.conf' do
action :delete
end
file '/etc/init.d/pdns-authoritative-' do
action :delete
end
- Recursor
What has changed inside the resources:
Services declaration change on (3.0.0 to 3.2.0) from: service 'pdns-recursor-<your-resource-name>' do
To (> 3.3.0): service "pdns-recursor_#{new_resource.instance_name}" do
Init scripts change on (3.0.0 to 3.2.0) from: template "/etc/init.d/pdns-recursor-#{new_resource.instance_name}" do
To (> 3.3.0): template "/etc/init.d/pdns-recursor_#{new_resource.instance_name}" do
For the recursor it's the same, you'll need to add something like this to your recipe:
execute 'service pdns_recursor- stop' do
action :run
only_if { ::File.exists? '/etc/init.d/pdns_recursor-' }
end
execute '/usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f pdns_recursor- remove' do
action :run
only_if { ::File.exists? '/etc/init.d/pdns_recursor-' }
end
file '/etc/init.d/pdns_recursor-' dp
action :delete
end
- Final Note
If you decide to follow the convention recommended by PDNS for Virtual Hosting, and you want to change the hyphens used for underscore, you'll need to additionally delete or rename some configuration files as you would normally do when changing the name on a chef resource.
Platforms:
- Ubuntu (14.04)
- CentOS (6.8)
Chef:
- Chef 12.5+
Init Systems:
Only SysVinit
is supported for "pdns-authoritative".
SysVinit
and Systemd
are supported for "pdns-recursor".
Required Cookbooks:
- apt
- yum
Suggested Cookbooks:
- postgres (for the PostgreSQL backend)
Usage
Combine the different resources in order to install, configure, and manage your PowerDNS instances. This is a list of resouces that can be used:
| Resource | Functionality |
|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| pdns_authoritative_install | Installs an authoritative server |
| pdns_authoritative_config | Configures an authoritative instance |
| pdns_authoritative_service | Manages an authoritative instance |
| pdns_authoritative_backend | Installs authoritative backend |
| pdns_recursor_install | Installs a recusor |
| pdns_recursor_config | Configures a recursor instance |
| pdns_recursor_service | Manages a a recursor instance |
To fully configure an authoritative server you need to add at least 3 resources to your recipe, pdns_authoritative_install
, pdns_authoritative_config
and pdns_authoritative_service
. If you want to install any backend other than the default (bind) for the authoritative server you need to add a fourth resource: pdns_authoritative_backend
. There are some good usage examples in test/cookbooks/pdns_test/recipes/
.
For a recursor use the pdns_recursor_install
, pdns_recursor_config
, and pdns_recursor_service
resources in your wrapper cookbooks to install, configure, and define PowerDNS recursors. Set the different properties on the resources according to your install and configuration needs. You can see a good example on this in test/cookbooks/pdns_test/recipes_recursor_install_single.rb
For advanced use it is recommended to take a look at the chef resources themselves.
Properties
PowerDNS uses hyphens -
in their configuration files, chef resources and ruby symbols don't work very well with hyphens, so using underscore _
in this cookbook for properties is required and will be tranlated automatically to hyphens in the configuration templates, example:
pdns_authoritative_config 'server_01' do
action :create
launch ['gpgsql']
variables(
gpgsql_host: '127.0.0.1',
gpgsql_user: 'pdns',
gpgsql_port: 5432,
gpgsql_dbname: 'pdns',
gpgsql_password: 'wadus'
)
end
Will create a file named /etc/powerdns/pdns-authoritative_server_01.conf
:
launch ['gpgsql']
gpgsql-host=127.0.0.1
gpgsql-user=pdns
gpgsql-port=5432
gpgsql-dbname=pdns
gpgsql-password=wadus
Most properties are simple ruby strings, but there is another cases that require special attention.
Properties specified as elements in arrays will be split up (see split ruby method) and separated by commas.
Boolean properties will be always translated to 'yes' or 'no'.
Some properties need to be set consistently accross resources, they will be noted in their specific sections.
Most of the properties are optional and have sane defaults, so they are only recommended for customized installs.
pdns_authoritative_install
Installs PowerDNS authoritative server 4.X series using PowerDNS official repository in the supported platforms.
Properties
Name | Class | Default value | Consistent? |
---|---|---|---|
instance_name | String | name_property | Yes |
version | String, nil | nil | No |
debug | true, false | false | No |
Usage example
Install a PowerDNS authoritative server package named server-01
with the latest version available in the repository.
pdns_authoritative_install 'server_01' do
action :install
end
pdns_authoritative_config
Creates a PowerDNS recursor configuration, there is a fixed set of required properties (listed below) but most of the configuration is left to the user freely, every property set in the variables
hash property will be rendered in the config template. Remember that using underscores _
for property names is required and it's translated to hyphens -
in configuration templates.
Properties
Name | Class | Default value | Consistent? |
---|---|---|---|
instance_name | String | name_property | Yes |
launch | Array, nil | ['bind'] | No |
config_dir | String | see default_authoritative_config_directory helper method |
Yes |
socket_dir | String | "/var/run/#{resource.instance_name}" | Yes |
run_group | String | see default_authoritative_run_user helper method |
No |
run_user | String | see default_authoritative_run_user helper method |
No |
run_user_home | String | see default_user_attributes helper method |
No |
run_user_shell | String | see default_user_attributes helper method |
No |
setuid | String | resource.run_user | No |
setgid | String | resource.run_group | No |
source | String,nil | 'authoritative_service.conf.erb' | No |
cookbook | String,nil | 'pdns' | No |
variables | Hash | { bind_config: "#{resource.config_dir}/bindbackend.conf" } | No |
Usage Example
Create a PowerDNS authoritative configuration file named server-01
:
pdns_authoritative_config 'server_01' do
action :create
launch ['gpgsql']
variables(
gpgsql_host: '127.0.0.1',
gpgsql_user: 'pdns',
gpgsql_port: 5432,
gpgsql_dbname: 'pdns',
gpgsql_password: 'wadus',
allow_axfr_ips: [ '127.0.0.0/8', '::1', '195.234.23,34'],
api: true,
api-_eadonly: true
)
end
pdns_authoritative_service
Creates a init service to manage a PowerDNS authoritative instance. This service supports all the regular actions (start, stop, restart, etc.). Check the compatibility section to see which init services are supported.
Important: services are not restarted or reloaded automatically on config changes in this cookbook, you need to add this in your wrapper cookbook if you desire this functionality, the pdns_authoritative_service
cookbook provides actions to do it.
Properties
Name | Class | Default value | Consistent? |
---|---|---|---|
instance_name | String | name_property | Yes |
cookbook | String, nil | 'pdns' | No |
source | String, nil | 'authoritative.init.debian.erb' | No |
config_dir | String | see default_authoritative_config_directory helper method |
Yes |
socket_dir | String | lazy { | resource |
Usage example
pdns_authoritative_service 'server_01' do
action [:enable, :start]
end
pdns_authoritative_backend
Installs one backend package for the PowerDNS authoritative server. You'll still need to install and configure the backend itself in your wrapper cookbook. You can see the list of available backends supported in every platform in libraries/authoritative_helpers.rb
Please review PowerDNS documentation section to understand specific naming and settings for every backend since they differ.
Properties
Name | Class | Default value | Consistent? |
---|---|---|---|
instance_name | String | name_property | No |
version | String, nil | nil | No |
Usage Example
Install a PostgreSQL backend for the PowerDNS authoritative server:
pdns_authoritative_backend 'postgresql' do
action :install
end
pdns_recursor_install
Installs PowerDNS recursor 4.X series using PowerDNS official repository in the supported platforms.
Properties
Name | Class | Default value | Consistent? |
---|---|---|---|
version | String | name_property | Yes |
debug | True, False | String, nil | No |
Usage Example
Install a 4. powerdns instance named 'my_recursor' on ubuntu 14.04:
pdns_recursor_install 'my_recursor' do
version '4.0.4-1pdns.trusty'
end
pdns_recursor_service
Sets up a PowerDNS recursor instance using the appropiate init system .
Important: services not restarted or reloaded automatically on config changes in this cookbook, you need to add this in your wrapper cookbook if you desire this functionality, the pdns_recursor_service
cookbook provides actions to do it.
Properties
Name | Class | Default value | Consistent? |
---|---|---|---|
instance_name | String | name_property | Yes |
config_dir | String | see default_recursor_config_directory helper method |

source 'my-recursor.erb'
cookbook 'acme-pdns-recursor'
variables(client-tcp-timeout: '20', loglevel: '5', network-timeout: '2000')
end
Virtual Hosting
PowerDNS supports virtual hosting: running many instances of PowerDNS on different ports on the same machine. This is done by a few clever hacks on the init scripts that allow to specify different config files for each instance. This cookbook leverages this functionality in both recursor and authoritative.
PowerDNS recommends a specific naming schema authoritative for virtual hosting. Specifically it does not allow hyphens (-) on the init scripts beyond the first which is provided by the init script (/etc/init.d/pdns-
).
We have adopted the convention of using underscores (_) in the name attributes of underscores in order to comply with this requirement.
