# VPS from Scratch
## Introduction
This manual describes way to setup bind as DNS with godaddy, SSL certificate from certbot.
The manual is written for `Ubuntu 20.4`. You will have to replace your server info in configs below.
Replace `<Your server ip address>` with ip address(eg. 10.4.60.1) of your VPS server and `<Your domain name>` with your domain name(eg. piyushxcoder.in).
### Setting up Bind DNS with godaddy
#### Install bind
```
sudo apt install bind9 bind9utils bind9-doc
```
#### Modify `/etc/default/named`
```
OPTIONS="-u bind -4"
```
#### Configure `/etc/bind/named.conf.options`
```
options {
version "Secured DNS server";
directory "/var/cache/bind";
// If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
// to talk to, you may need to fix the firewall to allow multiple
// ports to talk. See http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/800113
// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
// the all-0's placeholder.
forwarders {
8.8.8.8;
8.8.4.4;
};
//========================================================================
// If BIND logs error messages about the root key being expired,
// you will need to update your keys. See https://www.isc.org/bind-keys
//========================================================================
dnssec-validation auto;
//listen-on-v6 { any; };
allow-query {
localhost;
any;
};
listen-on port 53 {
<Your server ip address>;
localhost;
}; // listen on private network only
server-id none;
allow-transfer { none; }; # disable zone transfers by default
};
```
#### Configure `/etc/bind/named.conf.local`
Add Zone for every domain you are going to use.
```
// Do any local configuration here
//
// Consider adding the 1918 zones here, if they are not used in your
// organization
//include "/etc/bind/zones.rfc1918";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.certbot";
zone "<Your domain name>" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/db.<Your domain name>";
allow-transfer { <Your server ip address>; };
also-notify { <Your server ip address>; };
};
```
#### Create zone file as mentioned in `named.conf.local`
Example Zone file `db.<Your domain name>`
```
; BIND data file for local loopback interface
;
$TTL 604800
@ IN SOA ns1.<Your domain name>. admin.<Your domain name>. (
2 ; Serial
604800 ; Refresh
86400 ; Retry
2419200 ; Expire
604800 ) ; Negative Cache TTL
@ IN NS <Your domain name>.
@ IN A <Your server ip address>
IN NS ns1.<Your domain name>.
IN NS ns2.<Your domain name>.
ns1 IN A <Your server ip address>
ns2 IN A <Your server ip address>
# To redirect www handle it with ngnix
# www IN CNAME <Your server ip address>.
# For Certbot
# _acme-challenge IN NS <Your server ip address>.
```
#### Check Zone files and configuration
```
sudo named-checkconf
```
#### Restart bind server
```
sudo service bind9 restart
```
#### Add custom host names with ns1 ns2 subdomain and pointing to your ip addresses as specified in ["Add my custom host names"](https://in.godaddy.com/help/dd-my-custom-host-names-12320).
There after change nameservers for domain with `ns1.<Your domain name>` and `ns2.<Your domain name>`
Do it for every domain you want to point to your DNS
__Note:__ To check if dns is working properly or not you may use `dig @ns1.<Your domain name> <Your domain name>`. It might be also helpful to trace route of dns from root server to yours.

### Setting up Certbot with Bind
#### Install certbot
```
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-dns-rfc2136
```
#### Generate a key to secure the update process
```
sudo sh -c "tsig-keygen -a HMAC-SHA512 tsig-key > /etc/bind/tsig.key"
```
#### Create ```/etc/bind/named.conf.certbot```
```
key "tsig-key" {
algorithm "hmac-sha512";
secret "private key";
};
zone "_acme-challenge.<Your domain name>" {
type master;
file "/var/lib/bind/db._acme-challenge.<Your domain name>";
check-names warn;
update-policy {
grant tsig-key name _acme-challenge.<Your domain name>. txt;
};
};
```
Add private key and _achme-challenge zone for each domain and Change permission and ownership
```
$ sudo chown root:bind /etc/bind/named.conf.certbot
$ sudo chmod 640 /etc/bind/named.conf.certbot
```
#### Create zone file for each domain in `/var/lib/bind`
Example of ```/var/lib/bind/db._acme-challenge.<Your domain name>```
```
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 43200 ; 12 hours
_acme-challenge.<Your domain name> IN SOA <Your domain name>. admin.<Your domain name>. (
2021010211 ; serial
28800 ; refresh (8 hours)
7200 ; retry (2 hours)
604800 ; expire (1 week)
86400 ; minimum (1 day)
)
NS <Your domain name>.
$TTL 120 ; 2 minutes
TXT "<Your server ip address>"
```
Change premission and ownership
```
$ sudo chown root:bind /var/lib/bind/db._acme-challenge.<Your domain name>
$ sudo chmod 664 /var/lib/bind/db._acme-challenge.<Your domain name>
```
#### Uncomment `_acme-challenge IN NS <Your domain name>.` in each Zone file `db.<Your domain name>` in `/etc/bind`
#### Add `include "/etc/bind/named.conf.certbot";` in `/etc/bind/named.local`
#### Restart bind server
```
sudo systemctl restart bind9
```
#### Testing Dynamic Update
Check configs
```
sudo named-checkconf
```
To add the Entry
```
$ sudo nsupdate -k /etc/bind/tsig.key
> server <Your domain name>
> update add _acme-challenge.<Your domain name> 86400 TXT 192.168.1.1
> send
```
To list the Entry
```
dig @<Your domain name> _acme-challenge.<Your domain name> txt
```
You will see 192.168.1.1 in entries. If not then that is a problem!
To delete the Entry
```
$ sudo nsupdate -k /etc/bind/Kcertbot.+165+?????
> server <Your domain name>
> update delete _acme-challenge.<Your domain name> 86400 TXT 192.168.1.1
> send
```
#### Create ```/etc/letsencrypt/dns_rfc2136_credentials.txt```
```
# Target DNS server
dns_rfc2136_server = <Your server ip address>
# Target DNS port
dns_rfc2136_port = 53
# TSIG key name
dns_rfc2136_name = tsig-key
# TSIG key secret
dns_rfc2136_secret =
# TSIG key algorithm
dns_rfc2136_algorithm = HMAC-SHA512
```
Add private key in secret
#### Generate Certificate
```
sudo /usr/bin/certbot certonly --dns-rfc2136 --dns-rfc2136-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/dns_rfc2136_credentials.txt -d '<Your domain name>' -d '*.<Your domain name>'
```
