I only have one nameserver (ns1)

Inputnamehere · August 4, 2020, 10:47pm

I have another small VPS, wondering if someone could tell me if I can setup Hestia to host ns2? I already put my second VPS ip into my domain registrars settings.

v-add-remote-dns-host slave.yourhost.com 8083 admin p4sw0rd

For the command above, I just put my second VPS ip. This is all ? There is nothing to setup on the second VPS?

eris · August 4, 2020, 11:35pm

Yes Hestia

Inputnamehere · August 5, 2020, 12:03am

I have to install Hestia on my second server ? Because it says slave > master.

Inputnamehere · August 5, 2020, 1:35am

How do I check if its working?

I have error: /usr/local/hestia/func/remote.sh: line 26: return: Error:: numeric argument required
Error: api connection to slave ip failed

Slave firewall:

Is APi Enbaled on the second server?

Otherways is to setup zone transfer http://vestacp.com/docs/#how-to-enable-zone-transfer

Inputnamehere · August 5, 2020, 5:44am

API is enabled. In /usr/local/hestia/web/api there is only index.php.

I noticed php-fpm didn’t install? Only installed nginx and bind, nothing else. How can I install php-fpm again?

eris · August 5, 2020, 5:51am

If you are using it as a DNS only it should be no issue to use only nginx. We install our own “PHP” version

The API should be enabled on the second server…

For the command

    return $answer
}

Probably something went wrong…

Could you please create a bug report at https://github.com/hestiacp/hestiacp/

Inputnamehere · August 5, 2020, 6:44am

I made the bug report on github. So, what do I do now? I tried running the commands again to see if restarting the slave did anything, the first one is the same. The second one is new.

with sudo

/usr/local/hestia/func/remote.sh: line 26: return: Error:: numeric argument required
Error: api connection to slave ip failed

without sudo

/usr/local/hestia/bin/v-add-remote-dns-host: line 29: /usr/local/hestia/conf/hestia.conf: Permission denied
Error: DNS_SYSTEM is not enabled
/usr/local/hestia/func/main.sh: line 73: /usr/local/hestia/log/error.log: Permission denied

When I go into /usr/local/hestia/conf/hestia.conf

DNS_SYSTEM=‘bind9’

eris · August 5, 2020, 6:49am

Sudo is a required command because /usr/local/hestia/conf/hestia.conf has root:root as owner and not readable by user.

Are you able to ping slave.yourhost.com from your main server?

Inputnamehere · August 6, 2020, 7:28am

I can ping my slave ip, yes.

Inputnamehere · August 9, 2020, 8:01am

I did some editing and now I seemed to have changed something, but all it tells me is “Error: dns-cluster doesn’t exist”. I can’t find anything on it? Only from a post from Vesta about .conf file.

eris · August 9, 2020, 8:24am

Seen first post I posted every thing is explained

Create user dns-cluster on a server which will be used as dns slave

Inputnamehere · August 9, 2020, 6:00pm

I made the user “dns-cluster” on the Hestiacp. Anyway to check if its working?

Raphael · August 9, 2020, 6:54pm

nslookup yourdomain.com slavednsip?

Machiel92 · November 19, 2020, 6:10pm

Aloha fellas!

Nice to be seeing activities

Anyway; it’s good to see this is all possible and I will probably setup my own DNS service but this will only be whenever hestia allows IPv6, until the time it isn’t enabled I won’t enable the DNS service.

Raphael · November 19, 2020, 7:41pm

dns already supports ipv6, so you’re free to go.

Machiel92 · November 20, 2020, 12:07pm

Wait what!?
Seems I missed some updates
Cool, but it doesn’t add IPv6 automatically on hestia yet right? Or is there a way to fix this by editing the default DNS template(if possible)

Raphael · November 20, 2020, 12:20pm

dns responds already on ipv6, also you can add aaaa records. But web and mail isnt configured yet to support ipv6.
