BIND Build Status

Description

A chef cookbook to manage BIND servers and zones.

Contents

Requirements

This release migrates to using custom resources. Thus we require a more recent
version of chef (12.16 or above). To continue using this cookbook on older
versions please stick with the 1.x versions.

This cookbook now follows the library pattern. To use the cookbook effectively
you'll need a wrapper cookbook that has the resources listed.

A default recipe is provided. It only provides a basic recursive name server.

Supported Operating Systems:

  • CentOS/RHEL 6.9
  • CentOS/RHEL 7.3
  • Debian 8.9
  • Debian 9.2
  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • Ubuntu 16.04

Attributes

Most attributes have been removed in favour of custom resources.
See the MIGRATION.md document.

Usage

Using custom resources leads to a quite flexible configuration, but requires
a little bit more work in a wrapper cookbook to use. The following examples
are presented here:

  • Internal recursive nameserver
  • Authoritative primary nameserver
  • Authoritative secondary nameserver

Internal recursive nameserver

bind_service 'default' do
  action [:create, :start]
end

bind_config 'default' do
  ipv6_listen true
  options [
    'check-names slave ignore',
    'multi-master yes',
    'provide-ixfr yes',
    'recursive-clients 10000',
    'request-ixfr yes',
    'allow-notify { acl-dns-masters; acl-dns-slaves; }',
    'allow-query { example-lan; localhost; }',
    'allow-query-cache { example-lan; localhost; }',
    'allow-recursion { example-lan; localhost; }',
    'allow-transfer { acl-dns-masters; acl-dns-slaves; }',
    'allow-update-forwarding { any; }',
  ]
end

bind_acl 'acl-dns-masters' do
  entries [
    '! 10.1.1.1',
    '10/8'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'acl-dns-slaves' do
  entries [
    'acl-dns-masters'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'example-lan' do
  entries [
    '10.2/16',
    '10.3.2/24',
    '10.4.3.2'
  ]
end

Authoritative primary nameserver

There are two ways to create primary zone files with this cookbook. The first
is by providing a complete zone file that is placed in the correct directory
(and is added to the nameserver configuration by using the
bind_primary_zone resource). The second way is by using the
bind_primary_zone_template resource. To use this you need to provide
an array of hashes containing the records you want to be added to the zone file.

The following example has both options shown. In a wrapper cookbook add the code below with appropriate modifications.

You'll need to configure the ACL entries (and names) for the example-lan and
acl-dns-masters ACLs for your local configuration.

You will also need to arrange for the zone files to be placed in the configured
location (which is OS dependent by default).

Resource style:

bind_service 'default' do
  action [:create, :start]
end

bind_config 'default' do
  ipv6_listen true
  options [
    'recursion no',
    'allow-query { any; }',
    'allow-transfer { external-private-interfaces; external-dns; }',
    'allow-notify { external-private-interfaces; external-dns; localhost; }',
    'listen-on-v6 { any; }'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'external-private-interfaces' do
  entries [
  ]
end

bind_acl 'external-dns' do
  entries [
  ]
end

cookbook_file '/var/named/primary/db.example.com' do
  owner 'named'
  group 'named'
  mode '0440'
  action :create
end

bind_primary_zone 'example.com'

bind_primary_zone_template 'example.org' do
  soa serial: 100
  default_ttl 200
  records [
    { type: 'NS', rdata: 'ns1.example.org.' },
    { type: 'NS', rdata: 'ns2.example.org.' },
    { type: 'MX', rdata: '10 mx1.example.org.' },
    { type: 'MX', rdata: '20 mx1.example.org.' },
    { owner: 'www', type: 'A', ttl: 20, rdata: '10.5.0.1' },
    { owner: 'ns1', type: 'A', ttl: 20, rdata: '10.5.1.1' },
    { owner: 'ns2', type: 'A', ttl: 20, rdata: '10.5.2.1' },
    { owner: 'mx1', type: 'A', ttl: 20, rdata: '10.5.1.100' },
    { owner: 'mx2', type: 'A', ttl: 20, rdata: '10.5.2.100' },
  ]

Authoritative secondary nameserver

In a wrapper cookbook add the code below with appropriate modifications.

You'll need to configure the ACL entries (and names) for the example-lan and
acl-dns-masters ACLs for your local configuration.

bind_service 'default' do
  action [:create, :start]
end

bind_config 'default' do
  ipv6_listen true
  options [
    'recursion no',
    'allow-query { any; }',
    'allow-transfer { external-private-interfaces; external-dns; }',
    'allow-notify { external-private-interfaces; external-dns; localhost; }',
    'listen-on-v6 { any; }'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'acl-dns-masters' do
  entries [
    '! 10.1.1.1',
    '10/8'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'acl-dns-slaves' do
  entries [
    'acl-dns-masters'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'example-lan' do
  entries [
    '10.2/16',
    '10.3.2/24',
    '10.4.3.2'
  ]
end

bind_secondary_zone 'example.com' do
  primaries %w(192.0.2.10 192.0.2.11 192.0.2.12)
end

bind_secondary_zone 'example.org' do
  primaries %w(192.0.2.10 192.0.2.11 192.0.2.12)
end

Available Custom Resources

bind_service

The bind_service resource installs the pre-requisites for the service to run.

The :create action installs packages and creates appropriate configuration
directories. It does not attempt to create a working configuration.

The :start action ensures that the name server will be started at the end of
the chef run and will be started automatically on boot.

The :restart wil immediately restart the name server.

Example

bind_service 'default' do
  action [:create, :start]
end

Properties

The following properties are supported:

  • sysconfdir - The system configuration directory where the named config will be located. The default is platform specific. Usually /etc/named or /etc/bind
  • vardir - The location for zone files and other data. The default is platform specific, usually /var/named or /var/cache/bind.
  • package_name - The package, or array of packages, needed to install the nameserver. Default is platform specific, usually includes bind and associated utility packages.
  • run_user - The user that the name server will run as. Defaults to named.
  • run_group - The groups that the name server will run as. Defaults to named.
  • service_name - The name of the service installed by the system packages. Defaults to a platform specific value.

bind_config

The bind_config resource creates the configuration files for the name server.

The only available action is :create which will create the default
configuration files (including RFC1912 zones), configure an rndc key, and
set any query logging parameters required.

Examples

bind_config 'default'

bind_config 'default' do
  ipv6_listen false

  options [
    'recursion no',
    'allow-transfer { external-dns; }'
  ]
end

bind_config 'default' do
  statistics_channel address: 127.0.0.1, port: 8090

  query_log '/var/log/named/query.log'
  query_log_versions 5
  query_log_max_size '10m'
  query_log_options [
    'print-time yes'
  ]
end

Properties

  • conf_file - The desired full path to the main configuration file. Platform specific default.
  • options_file - The desired full path to the configuration file containing options. Platform specific default.
  • ipv6_listen - Enables listening on IPv6 instances. Can be true or false. Defaults to true.
  • options - Array of option strings. Each option should be a valid BIND option minus the trailing semicolon. Defaults to an empty array.
  • query_log - If provided will turn on general query logging. Should be the path to the desired log file. Default is empty and thus disabled. This will likely move to a separate resource in the future.
  • query_log_max_size - Maximum size of query log before rotation. Defaults to '1m'.
  • query_log_versions - Number of rotated query logs to keep on the system. Defaults to 2.
  • query_log_options - Array of additional query log options. Defaults to empty array.
  • statistics_channel - Presence turns on the statistics channel. Should be a hash containing :address and :port to configure the location where the statistics channel will listen on. This will likely move to a separate resource in the future.

bind_primary_zone

The bind_primary_zone resource will copy a zone file from your current
cookbook into the correct directory and add the zone as a master zone to your
BIND configuration. The file should be named for the zone you wish to configure.
For example to configure example.com the file should be in
files/default/example.com

Examples

bind_primary_zone 'example.com'

bind_primary_zone 'example.org' do
  options [
    'allow-transfer { none; }'
  ]
end

Properties

  • options - Array of option strings. Each option should be a valid BIND option minus the trailing semicolon. Defaults to an empty array.

bind_primary_zone_template

The bind_primary_zone_template resource will create a zone file from a
template and list of desired resources.

Examples

bind_primary_zone_template 'example.com' do
  soa serial: 100, minimum: 3600
  records [
    { type: 'NS', rdata: 'ns1.example.com.' },
    { owner: 'ns1', type: 'A', rdata: '10.0.1.1' }
  ]
end

Properties

  • soa - Hash of SOA entries. Available keys are:
    • :serial - The serial number of the zone. Defaults to '1'. If this zone has secondary servers configured then you will need to either manually manage this and update when the record set changes, or use the manage_serial property.
    • :mname - Domain name of the primary name server serving this zone. Defaults to 'localhost.'
    • :rname - The email address of the "Responsible Person" for this zone with the @-sign replaced by a .. Defaults to hostmaster.localhost.
    • :refresh - The period that a secondary name server will wait between checking if the zone file has been updated on the master. Defaults to '1w'.
    • :retry - The period that a secondary name server will attempt to retry checking a zone file if the initial attempt fails. Defaults to '15m'.
    • :expire - The length of time that a zone will be considered invalid if the primary name server is unavailable. Defaults to '52w'.
    • :minimum - The length of time that a name server will cache a negative (NXDOMAIN) result. Defaults to 30 seconds.
  • default_ttl - The default time to live for any records which do not have an explicitly configured TTL.
  • records - An array of hashes describing each desired record. Possible keys are:
    • :owner - The name to be looked up.
    • :type - The record type; examples include: 'NS', 'MX', 'A', 'AAAA'.
    • :ttl - A non-default TTL. If not present will use the default TTL of the zone.
    • :rdata - The value of the record. Freeform string that depends on the type for structure.
  • manage_serial - A boolean indicating if we should manage the serial number. Defaults to false. When true persists the current serial number and a digest of the current zone contents into the node object. If the records change the serial number will be incremented. The default serial number used is the value of soa[:serial].
  • template_cookbook - The cookbook to locate the primary zone template file. Defaults to 'bind'. You can override this to change the structure of the zone file.
  • template_name - The name of the primary zone template file within a cookbook. Defaults to 'primary_zone.erb'

A note on serial numbers

Serial numbers are primarily used by the DNS to discover if a zone has changed
and thus trigger a zone transfer by a secondary server. If you are managing all
of the authoritative servers for a zone with chef then you do not need to change
serial numbers when updating a zone. In this instance you can set a simple
static serial number ('1' is used by default and is just fine).

On the other hand, if you have non-chef managed secondary servers then you will
need to increment the serial number whenever the record set changes. This can be
done in two different ways: manually (where you control the serial number set
and will increment it each time the record set changes), or using the
manage_serial property.

If you use the manage_serial property then each time the record set changes
the serial number will be incremented. Providing a serial number in the soa
property will be used as a default value for the serial number. When enabled
this property will cause the cookbook to store the serial number and a hash of
the record set in the host's node object. If you destroy the node object then
this will result in the serial number being reset to the default value in the
soa property. Finally, ensure that you only have a single server using the
manage_serial property. Otherwise you may end up with different name servers
with different serial numbers. In this case, set up a single node as the
primary server and use the bind_secondary_zone on all the other authoritative
servers to pull the zone from that designated primary server.

bind_secondary_zone

The bind_secondary_zone resource will configure a zone to be pulled from a
primary name server.

Examples

bind_secondary_zone 'example.com' do
  primaries [
    '10.1.1.1',
    '10.2.2.2'
  ]
end

bind_secondary_zone 'example.org' do
  primaries [
    '10.1.1.1',
    '10.2.2.2'
  ]

  options [
    'zone-statistics full'
  ]
end

Properties

  • primaries - An array of IP addresses used as the upstream master for this zone. Is mandatory and has no default.
  • options - Array of option strings. Each option should be a valid BIND option minus the trailing semicolon. Defaults to an empty array.

bind_forwarder

The bind_forwarder resource will configure a forwarding only zone.

Examples

bind_forwarder 'example.com' do
  forwarders [
    '10.1.1.1',
    '10.2.2.2'
  ]
end

bind_forwarder 'example.org' do
  forward 'first'
  forwarders ['10.0.1.1', '10.2.1.1']
end

Properties

  • forwarders - An array of IP addresses to which requests for this zone will be forwarded to. Defaults to an empty list. (Which if set will disable forwarding for this zone if globally configured).
  • forward - Set to 'first' if you wish to try a regular lookup if forwaridng fails. 'only' will cause the query to fail if forwarding fails. Default is 'only'.

bind_acl

The bind_acl resource allows you to create a named ACL list within the
BIND configuration.

Examples

bind_acl 'google-dns-servers' do
  entries [
    '8.8.8.8',
    '8.8.4.4'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'internal-dns' do
  entries [
    '! 10.1.1.1',
    '10/8'
  ]
end

bind_acl 'tsig_key' do
  entries [
    'key "internal-key"',
  ]
end

Properties

  • entries - An array of strings representing each acl entry.

Each entry should be a valid BIND address match list. This means it can be:

  • an IP address
  • an IP prefix
  • a key id
  • the name of a different address march list from another acl statement
  • a nested address match list enclosed in braces

Predefined ACLs (from BIND itself) which do not need additional configuration are: any, none, localhost, and localnets.

bind_key

The bind_key resource adds a shared secret key (for either TSIG or
the command channel) to the configuration.

bind_key 'dns-update-key' do
  algorithm 'hmac-sha256'
  secret 'this_is_the_secret_key'
end

Properties

  • algorithm - The algorithm that the secret key was generated from.
  • secret - The secret key

bind_server

The bind_server resource allows specific options to be configured for a
particular upstream name server.

Examples

bind_server '10.1.1.1' do
  options [
    'bogus yes'
  ]
end

Properties

  • options - Array of option strings. Each option should be a valid BIND option minus the trailing semicolon. Defaults to an empty array.

This is the first cookbook, I have validated with @fnichol re-write
of test-kitchen. It took
about 3-4 minutes to validate this cookbook across 4 platforms.

I identified two RHEL 5, and one Ubuntu, recipe bugs which nobody
including myself has caught. I cannot overstate, how much time this
has saved me. If you have not tried the test-kitchen re-write,
do yourself the favor and start working with it now.

  • Add test-kitchen/Berkshelf skeleton files
  • Platform-specific fixes
    • Correct location of /etc/named.conf on RHEL 5
    • Added conf_file and options_file are attributes
