Network/Roadmap/SelfHostedDNS

Summary

Take control of our own DNS zones, and host them on space infra. This will be done for the following domains:

• nurd.space
• nurdspace.nl

Architecture

We will use two secondary nameservers. One running @ BIT/Ede, one running at Soleus/Amsterdam. On erratic, we host a hidden primary DNS server, and using wireguard tunnels, we hook these up to the secondaries. Zone updates will be sent over these wireguard links

Secondary DNS server details

services.as65342.net

• ipv4: 213.154.229.26
• ipv6: 2001:7b8:3:47:213:154:229:26
• operator: r3boot

neutralino.soleus.nu

• ipv4: 94.142.246.90
• ipv6: 2a02:898:62:f6::5a
• operator: BOFH team

Steps

Configure nameservers for both domains

Request transfer keys

• Done for nurd.space
• nurdspace.nl waits on Network/Roadmap/WikiMigration to be completed

Request transfer of domains

• Done for nurd.space

Updated sponsor block on website

Once both zones (and the wiki) have been migrated, update the sponsor block to reflect the current status.

Setup primary namserver on space infrastructure

• This should be a KVM, 2 cores, 1024MB ram
• NSD will be used as the nameserver
• Machine should be hosted on internal ip space
• Wireguard tunnels need to be setup between primary and secondaries
• XFR needs to be configured between primary and secondaries
• Ask r3boot for a copy of the zonefiles (currently services.as65342.net is configured as a primary)
