Example bind9/named configuration to build primary and secondary DNS server, then secondary DNS server deploy as a container using docker
!Important, If DNS server is installed on docker (Ubuntu 22.04), please edit the config file of systemd-resolved, /etc/systemd/resolved.conf. Uncomment the line DNSStubListener, and set it to no.

DNSStubListener=no

Restart the sytemd-resolved service using sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved.
Bind9 installed on baremetal Ubuntu OS 22.04 (not using docker)
hostname - ip - domain_name : ns1 - 192.168.100.10/24 - home.arpa
- Install bind9 packages
apt install bind9 bind9utils dnsutils bind9-doc
- Edit /etc/bind/named.conf.options
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
listen-on { 192.168.100.10; };
allow-query { any; };
recursion no;
forwarders {
8.8.8.8;
8.8.4.4;
};
...
dnssec-validation auto;
listen-on-v6 { any; };
};
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "/var/log/named/named.run" versions 2 size 1M;
severity dynamic; print-time yes;
};
channel log_file {
file "/var/log/named/named.log" versions 2 size 1M;
severity info; print-time yes; };
category queries { log_file; };
};
include "/etc/bind/named.zones";
Please refer to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.named for default directory setting of bind9 logging and zones files 4. Create /var/log/named directory and change owner to bind
mkdir /var/log/named
chown bind /var/log/named
- Create named.zones on /etc/bind
acl "slaves" {
192.168.100.11;
};
// We are master server for home.arpa
zone "home.arpa" {
masterfile-format text;
type master;
file "home.arpa.db";
// IP addresses of slave servers allowed to transfer
allow-transfer { slaves;
};
};
// We are a master server for reverse zone
zone "100.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
masterfile-format text;
type master;
file "100.168.192-addr.arpa.db";
// IP addresses of slave servers allowed to transfer example.com
allow-transfer { slaves;
};
};
- Check configuration file if there is any error

- Restart bind9 service
systemctl restart bind9
Bind9 installed as a container on docker
hostname - ip - domain_name : ns2 - 192.168.100.11 - home.arpa
- Install docker and docker-compose
apt install docker.io docker-compose
- Since bind9 installed as a container please uncomment the line DNSStubListener on /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.
Uncomment the line DNSStubListener, and set it to no.

Restart the sytemd-resolved service using
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved. -
To be tidy, create new directory and create the docker-compose file
mkdir ns2-container && touch ns-container/docker-compose.yml
- Edit docker-compose.yml
