PowerDNS docker containers

These PowerDNS containers are meant to be simple way to spawn PowerDNS in docker. Based on alpine, with PowerDNS packages from edge.

All configuration file variables are taken from environment. Authoritative variables are prefixed PDNS_AUTH, for recursor the prefix is PDNS_RECURSOR. If any variable with respective name exists, the configuration file (pdns.conf or recursor.conf) gets overwritten. If no such variable exists and the file is missing, an empty one is created. To use configuration volume do not set any PDNS_* variables.

Authoritative

Authoritative server contains all backends available in alpine:

  • bind
  • geoip
  • ldap
  • lua
  • mariadb
  • mydns
  • mysql
  • odbc
  • pgsql
  • pipe
  • random
  • remote
  • sqlite3

Handling volumes/databases for local backends (like sqlite and bind) is your responsibility.

docker run -p 53:53/udp -p 53:53 \ 
    -e PDNS_AUTH_LAUNCH=bind \
    -e PDNS_AUTH_LOGLEVEL=9 \
    pdns-authoritative:latest

Recursor

docker run -p 53:53/udp -p 53:53 \  
    -e "PDNS_RECURSOR_FORWARD_ZONES_RECURSE=zone.com=1.2.3.4;2.3.4.5,another.net=3.4.5.6;4.5.6.7" \ 
    -e PDNS_RECURSOR_QUIET=no \
