⁠bind-docker-centos

This repository contains a centos bind server.

⁠Downloading the image

The first step is to pull the image.

⁠Creating the container

Now that we have the image busybox42/bind-docker-centos we can create the container with a few parameters.

docker run --name bind -p 53:53/udp -h ns.myhostname.tld busybox42/bind-docker-centos

Name the container, expose udp port 53 for DNS and set a hostname.

⁠Configuring your server

Modify /etc/named.conf and add your zones files in /var/named/. You can connect to the container with this command:

docker exec -it bind bash

Make sure you test your bind configuration before restarting the container.

named-checkconf /etc/named.conf

If there is no output, the configuration is considered correct and you can safely restart or reload bind configuration file.
