BIND9-docker

ISC BIND 9 Docker container for Genvio Inc, based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image. This free Docker is maintained on a best-effort basis.

You need to properly mount the following volumes:

/etc/bind - for configuration, your named.conf lives here
/var/cache/bind - this is the working directory, e.g. options { directory "/var/cache/bind"; };
/var/lib/bind - this is usually the place where the secondary zones are placed
/var/log - for logfiles

Quickstart

Recursive DNS Server

BIND 9.19 (current stable)

docker run \
        --name=bind9 \
        --restart=always \
        --publish 53:53/udp \
        --publish 53:53/tcp \
        --publish 127.0.0.1:953:953/tcp \
        ghcr.io/genvio/bind9-docker:latest

Authoritative DNS Server

Here you will actually want to provide the desired configuration in /etc/bind/named.conf and primary zones, etc… (e.g. it’s not magic, you will have to configure it).

BIND 9.19 (current stable)

docker run \
        --name=bind9 \
        --restart=always \
        --publish 53:53/udp \
        --publish 53:53/tcp \
        --publish 127.0.0.1:953:953/tcp \
        --volume /etc/bind \
        --volume /var/cache/bind \
        --volume /var/lib/bind \
        --volume /var/log \
        ghcr.io/genvio/bind9-docker:latest

Basic Configuration

Recursive DNS server

The recursive DNS server doesn't need any configuration.

Authoritative DNS server

options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";
        listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
        listen-on-v6 { ::1; };
        allow-recursion {
                none;
        };
        allow-transfer {
                none;
        };
        allow-update {
                none;
        };
};

zone "example.com." {
        type primary;
        file "/var/lib/bind/db.example.com";
        notify explicit;
};
