autoconfiguredns

Automatically installs Bind9 on your Debian-based system and does a base, working configuration so in matter of seconds you have your own DNS server up and running.

It is meant to be used with a freshly installed system but it also works on a system that already has Bind9 installed, but it overwrites configuration files, so make sure to perform a backup before running it if this is your case.

This tool configures the Bind9 service to make it work as a Master server, and accepts all queries.

This is an insecure setup. Use at your own risk.

What does it do?

• Installs Bind9 and its utilities (bind9utils and dnsutils)
• Checks if the service is working (if not it tries to start it)
• Checks if there is UFW installed (if it is, creates a new rule, if not, creates iptables rules)
• Configures "named.conf.options"
• Configures "named.conf.local"
• Creates "forward.your.domain" and configures it
• Creates "reverse.your.domain" and configures it
• Updates "/etc/resolv.conf" so the system uses its own DNS service
• Makes sure everything works

Usage

./autoconfiguredns.sh <IN_IP_ADDRESS> <FQDN>

Example

If my Internet IP is '10.10.10.51' and my FQDN is 'test.com', I would run:

./autoconfiguredns 10.10.10.51 test.com
