Or extract source package to knot-dns directory.
Compile the source code:
cd knot-dns
autoreconf -if
./configure
make
Install Knot DNS into system:
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
Running
1. Ensure some configuration
[doc/configuration.rst](doc/configuration.rst)
Please see [samples/knot.sample.conf](samples/knot.sample.conf),
project documentation,
or man 5 knot.conf for more details. Basically the configuration should specify:
- network interfaces
- served zones
E.g. use the default configuration file:
cd /etc/knot
mv knot.sample.conf knot.conf
Modify the configuration file:
editor knot.conf
2. Prepare working directory
mv example.com.zone /var/lib/knot/
3. Start the server
[doc/operation.rst](doc/operation.rst)
This can be done by running the knotd command. Alternatively, your distribution
should have an init script available, if you installed Knot DNS from a binary package.
Start the server in foreground to see if it runs:
knotd -c /etc/knot/knot.conf
