My beloved PowerDNS mug has degraded to the point where it looks like a post-apocalyptic windmill.

🚀 Deploy #Poweradmin to Manage #PowerDNS on #Ubuntu #VPS

This article demonstrates how to deploy Poweradmin to manage PowerDNS on Ubuntu VPS server.
What is Poweradmin?

I run my own #nameservers or #DNS if you will, and have done so for over 25 years. Initially based on #BIND (aka named) but I later moved to #PowerDNS, There are numerous frontends of varying quality available for PowerDNS. I have opinions on those, but this isn't about them.

For the secondary name servers (in the old and less enlightened days known as slaves) I've always run the same software as the primary. First BIND, then PowerDNS. Recently though, I've been testing out what appears to be a much simpler alternative: #NSD by #Amsterdam based NLnet Labs.

Using #CatalogZones - a new concept to me - I'm able to run secondaries with TSIG notifies and zone transfers as well as fully supported primary signed DNSSEC with a configuration of only 40 lines. No updates needed when adding or removing zones.

For this to work well though, some configuration is required for each zone on the primary. With a little trigger and function magic, this can be automized by the database.

Wheee!

Well, that was weird. I was hired to help a client with build an internal #Kubernetes as-a-service solution, but ended up designing and deploying a new #PowerDNS setup for them instead. Client is happy. They managed to hire a full time employee to cover my spot, so it ends up being a short 3 month contract, which is done in one.

Coming out of a very convenient and comfortable series of contracts for a single client, totalling six years, this is very different. This is the first client who's mentioned #AI (and been rather excited about it) so I'm playing catch up and trying to establish my position on that. I'm guessing there will soon be a huge market for sensible adult contractors, ready to clean up after AI #slop spills. Time will tell.

Anyhoo, my network seems to have my back as usual, and I've got some interviews coming up in the following weeks. Trying to focus on gigs using Kubernetes, #Terraform, #OpenTofu and #Go, which means saying "no thanks" a lot. That's new for me.
