netbox-plugin-bind-provisioner 0.9.4

A Bind provisioning plugin that uses netbox_dns for its data source

Netbox Bind Provisioner

A Netbox Plugin that provides a minimal DNS Server for the automatic provisioning of a Bind9 Server from Netbox DNS data (netbox-plugin-dns).

Plugin configuration

The plugin was re-worked; Instead of exporting zone files, it provides an entire (though minimal) DNS Server that is fed directly from Netbox's DNS data. The Server also provides specialized "catalog" zones that bind uses to automatically discover new zones and remove deleted ones. The plugin supports view as well as basic dns security using TSIG.

To work correctly, each view needs a tsig key installed and the bind-transfer-endpoint needs to be running as its own service in the background via the manage.py command. Note that dnssec support will be implemented as soon as bind9 has a mechanism to allow configuration of such via the Catalog Zones mechanism.

venv/bin/python3 netbox/netbox/manage.py bind-transfer-endpoint --port 5354

Parameters

Parameter	Description
--port	Port to listen on for requests (defaults to 5354)
--address	IP of interface to bind to (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
