### ISC BIND9 Container (Stable: 9.11.1_xx) built on top of Alpine ### Last update: 9-18-17 NOTE: "Last Update" is the date of the latest DockerHub build. This container is a super small (~5MB compressed pull, and only ~9MB when extracted) FULL version of ISC BIND9. It is ideal for a quick master, slave, recursive server/resolver, RPZ "dns firewall", or just about any other purpose you can use bind for. # Security - always on the latest stable release! This container will _always_ be up to date on the latest stable+patched version, usually within 24 hours of it being available in Alpine. In fact, most of the BIND vulnerabilities so far have been reported by me to the Alpine developers. # Required "DATA" directory - for named.conf and zone data: This container assumes you have a "/DATA" folder with with your container specific data. You can change that folder (and sub-folders) as needed, but make sure you update the "-v" mounts for the run. Specifically, you need to have these directories/paths: ``` 1.) [ *REQUIRED* ] In your "/DATA/etc/bind" directory, a file "named.conf", which acts as an entry point to your configs 2.) [ *REQUIRED* ] A "/DATA/var/cache/bind" directory for all of the master or slave zones. If it's for slave zones, it will populate automatically and you can leave it blank. 3.) [ *OPTIONAL* ] A "/DATA/var/log/named" directory for logging your DNS requests/returns/other breakdown. By default, logging is done to the console ``` # How to run a BIND ("named") Docker Container? ``` docker run --name=dns-master01 -it -d \ --dns=8.8.8.8 --dns=8.8.4.4 \ -p 53:53/udp -p 53:53 \ -v /DATA/etc/bind:/etc/bind \ -v /DATA/var/cache/bind:/var/cache/bind \ -v /DATA/var/log/named:/var/log/named \ ventz/bind ```
