Dependencies
============
Knot DNS has several dependencies:
* libtool
* autoconf > 2.65
* flex >= 2.5.31
* bison >= 2.3
* libssl >= 1.0.0 (>= 1.0.1 is required for ECDSA)
* liburcu >= 0.5.4
Optional packages:
* libcap-ng >= 0.6.4 (for POSIX 1003.1e capabilites(7))
* libidn (for IDNA2003 support in Knot utilities)
Dependencies for building documentation:
* texinfo
Installation
============
Knot DNS may already be included in your operating system distribution and
therefore can be installed from packages (Linux) or ports (BSD). This is
always preferred unless you want to test the latest features, contribute to
Knot development, or you just know what you are doing.
Following sections describe how to build Knot DNS from the source code.
1) Install prerequisites
Debian based distributions
--------------------------
Update the system:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Install prerequisites:
$ sudo apt-get install git-core libtool autoconf flex bison libssl-dev liburcu-dev
Install optional packages:
($ sudo apt-get install libcap-ng-dev)
If the liburcu-dev package is not present, install it from the source code
(http://lttng.org/urcu)
Fedora like distributions
-------------------------
Update the system:
$ yum upgrade
Ensure all base development tools are available:
$ yum install @buildsys-build
Ensure all prerequisites are installed:
$ yum install libtool autoconf flex bison openssl-devel userspace-rcu-devel
Install optional packages:
($ yum install libcap-ng-devel)
OS X
----
Not all prerequisites are preinstalled for OS X.
- liburcu must be compiled from sources
- liburcu requires gcc-4.6 from MacPorts, as it depends on __thread keyword
$ CC=gcc-mp-4.6 ARCH=x86_64 ./configure
$ make && sudo make install
- liburcu >= 0.7.0 works with supplied compiler, however ARCH must still be set
- alternative is to set it with configure parameter --target
Compiling Knot DNS with gcc-mp-4.6 is recommended, but not necessary.
2) Install Knot DNS
Knot DNS requires compiler to support atomic intrinsics.
GCC version at least 4.1 supports legacy atomic builtins, however 4.7
or newer is preferred.
Clang supports atomics since version 2.9.
Get the source code:
$ git clone git://git.nic.cz/knot-dns.git
Or extract source package to knot-dns directory
Compile Knot
$ cd knot-dns
$ autoreconf -if
$ ./configure
$ make
Install Knot DNS into system:
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig
NOTE: If you want to reduce zscanner compile time, use configure option --disable-fastparser.
Running
=======
1) Each server needs configuration file. Please see samples/knot.sample.conf
for reference or samples/knot.full.conf for more examples.
Configuration file has to specify:
- storage for PID files, journal files etc.
- network interfaces
- served zones
E.g. use the default config file:
$ cd /etc/knot
$ mv knot.sample.conf knot.conf
Modify the config:
$ vim knot.conf
2) Prepare working directory
$ mv example.com.zone /var/lib/knot/
3) Start the server. This can be done by running the 'knotd' command.
Alternatively, your distribution should have an init script available, if you've
installed Knot using a binary package.
Start Knot in foreground to see if it runs:
$ knotd -c myserver.conf
For more information, refer to the user manual or:
$ knotc -h
$ knotd -h
