Installing PowerDNS : sudo apt install pdns-server pdns-backend-mysql It might not seem important in this case, but it is a best practice to sync date/time

Note : Make sure your serverвЂ™s date/time is correct. > ALTER USER IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'PASSWORD' In my case I will config Mysql root password with mysql_native_password mode in order to access Mysql database using password.Д¬onfiguring mysql_native_password : sudo mysql This command will take you to series of questions, such as root password for Mysql or disabling anonymous user. Then we have to prepare Mysql backend : sudo apt install mysql-serverДЄfter installing Mysql if you interested you can make it more secure using following : sudo mysql_secure_installation Which is going to be used by PowerDNS instead, so we have to stop and disable this service using : sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolvedДЄfter removing this daemon youвЂ™ll not have local DNS forward, for resolving this issue edit the /etc/nf and add following line : nameserver 8.8.8.8 # you need to set a DNS server Since Ubuntu 18+ comes with a new DNS resolver, this daemon uses udp port 53. In this scenario we want to setup a DNS server for a company to answer local DNS requests as well as redirect external requests to other DNS servers.ДЇirst of all update your packages : sudo apt -y update & sudo apt -y upgrade In authoritative mode when a client asks for a domain name the DNS server is responsible to give the IP address, in other words, authoritative DNS servers are the one which own the IP/Domain database.ДNS forwarder task is to redirect requests to other authoritative DNS servers. This solution is suitable for small to medium sized companies although in this scenario I donвЂ™t config a secondary DNS server.ДЄ little bit of theory first, DNS servers have two modes. Database is going to be mysql and for managing it IвЂ™m going to use powerdns-admin using Docker, and all of these, going to be installed on a single node with Ubuntu 18 lts and PowerDNS 4.1.1.

This DNS server is going to be authoritative and forwarder (in case of PowerDNS, recursor mode).

In this post IвЂ™m going to show you how to setup a DNS server in single node mode. But there are other options such as PowerDNS. When you want to setup a DNS server on *nix platform, the first option that may cross your mind is bind9.
