bind

Formulas to set up and configure the bind DNS server.

Note

See the full Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions.

Available states

bind

Install the bind package and start the bind service.

bind.config

Manage the bind configuration file. This state can generate some basic zone files if a records entry is found in the available_zones' declaration for the zone (see pillar.example for how to write these)

Example Pillar

bind:
  configured_zones:
    example.com:
      type: master
      notify: False
  available_zones:
    example.com:
      file: example.com.txt
      soa:
        ns: ns1.example.com                       # Required
        contact: hostmaster.example.com           # Required
        serial: 2017041001                        # Required
      records:                                    # Records for the zone, grouped by type
        A:
          mx1:                                    # A RR with multiple values can
            - 1.2.3.228                           # be written as an array
            - 1.2.3.229
          cat: 2.3.4.188
          rat: 1.2.3.231
          live: 1.2.3.236

See bind/pillar.example for a more complete example.

On the other hand, if no records entry exists, the zone file is not generated by this state rather than taken from salt://zones. See pillar.example for how to overwrite this URL.

Example Pillar

bind:
  configured_zones:
    sub.domain.com:
      type: master
      notify: False
  configured_views:
    myview1:
      match_clients:
        - client1
        - client2
    configured_zones:
      my.zone:
        type: master
        notify: False

See bind/pillar.example.

Notes

• When using views all zones must be configured in views!
