Create a new dns server on solid panel

A great question!

To create a new DNS server on SolidPanel, you'll need to follow these steps:

Prerequisites:

  1. You have a SolidPanel account and are logged in.
  2. You have a basic understanding of DNS (Domain Name System) and its components (e.g., zones, records).

Step 1: Create a new DNS zone

  1. Log in to your SolidPanel account and navigate to the "DNS" section.
  2. Click on the "Create DNS Zone" button.
  3. Enter the domain name you want to create a zone for (e.g., example.com).
  4. Choose the type of zone you want to create (e.g., Public DNS, Private DNS).
  5. Click "Create" to create the zone.

Step 2: Configure the DNS zone

  1. In the DNS zone settings, you'll see various tabs (e.g., "Records", "Settings", "Security").
  2. In the "Records" tab, you can add DNS records (e.g., A records, CNAME records, MX records) to your zone.
  3. You can also configure settings like the zone's TTL (Time To Live), SOA (Start of Authority) record, and NS (Name Server) records.

Step 3: Set up the DNS server

  1. In the "Settings" tab, you'll see options for configuring the DNS server.
  2. Set the DNS server's IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
  3. Choose the DNS protocol (e.g., UDP, TCP).
  4. Set the DNS server's port (e.g., 53).
  5. Click "Save" to save your changes.

Step 4: Configure the DNS server's security

  1. In the "Security" tab, you can configure security settings for your DNS server.
  2. Set up firewall rules to allow incoming DNS queries.
  3. Configure authentication and authorization settings (e.g., username/password, API keys).

Step 5: Test your DNS server

  1. Use a tool like dig or nslookup to test your DNS server.
  2. Query your DNS server for a domain name (e.g., example.com) to verify that it's responding correctly.

That's it! You've successfully created a new DNS server on SolidPanel.

Remember to always follow best practices for DNS security and configuration to ensure the reliability and security of your DNS server.
