Installing AtomiaDNS Nameserver (PowerDNS) and Synchronizer

Installing AtomiaDNS Nameserver (PowerDNS) and Synchronizer

//Install on an Ubuntu machine (I used 16.04)
sudo su
//Add the Atomia APT Repository:
wget -q -O - http://public.apt.atomia.com/setup.sh.shtml | sed s/%distcode/`lsb_release -c | awk '{ print $2 }'`/g | sh
//Install the database schema (will also install MySQL):
apt-get install atomiadns-powerdns-database
//Install perl and perl mysql driver
sudo apt-get install libcgi-session-perl
apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
//To configure the nameserver to sync zones from your Atomia DNS installation, add to /etc/atomiadns.conf:
soap_uri = http://10.0.0.75/atomiadns
soap_username = a@b.com
soap_password = 1234
servername = powerdns_db1

//Install the PowerDNS sync agent:
apt-get install atomiadns-powerdnssync

//Important! to overcome a bug they have, replace the  /usr/share/perl5/Atomia/DNS/PowerDNSDatabase.pm file contents 
//with the contents of my gist called  PowerDNSDatabase

//If Atomia-web was not installed, run the following on the Atomia API server machine (trusted):
atomiadnsclient --method AddNameserverGroup --arg default
//Add the nameserver as subscriber of the zones:
atomiapowerdnssync add_server default

//Create a systemd service file for atomia-sync (exiting service is not compatible with ubuntu version)
nano /etc/systemd/system/atomia-sync.service
//paste the following in the file:
[Unit]
Description=Atomia sync to PowerDNS

[Service]
Type=simple
# (NOTE: "Type=simple" is the default)
ExecStart=/usr/bin/atomiapowerdnssync updated 2>&1 | logger -t atomiapowerdnssync_updated

//Launch the service and check its status (make sure it's not complaining on missing packages):
systemctl start atomia-sync
systemctl status atomia-sync

//Sync all zones: DOESN'T WORK YET!!
atomiapowerdnssync full_reload_online

// Install PowerDNS (apt-get install brings an old and buggy version, so use this method instead:)
// When it asks if you want to replace /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf, 
// just press enter to keep the version that atomiadns-powerdns-database preconfigured for you
// Create the file '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pdns.list' with this content:
deb [arch=amd64] http://repo.powerdns.com/ubuntu xenial-auth-41 main

// Create the file /etc/apt/preferences.d/pdns with this content:
Package: pdns-*
Pin: origin repo.powerdns.com
Pin-Priority: 600

// Execute this command
curl https://repo.powerdns.com/FD380FBB-pub.asc | sudo apt-key add - &&
sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install pdns-server

apt-get install pdns-backend-mysql

// Restart pdns service
service pdns stop
service pdns start
//Check if launched OK:
service pdns status
