To simplify merging, each hostmaster pushes to a separate branch:

Checkout the git repository containing the DNS zone data:
  
  git clone root@lightwave.sugarlabs.org:/var/lib/bind/etc/bind ns
+
  git clone lightwave.sugarlabs.org:/var/lib/bind/etc/bind ns
git config --add remote.origin.push '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/USERNAME/*'
 
  
'''FIXME''': use an unprivileged group "hostmaster" rather than root.
+
'''NOTE:''' Your user on [[Machine/lightwave]] needs to be in group hostmaster. Do not clone the repo on lightwave, clone it to your local host.
 +
 
 +
To push changes, you will also need the DNSSEC private keys for your domain. For security reasons, these
 +
are not kept on the master DNS itself. Ask one of the other hostmasters for a copy and put it in the keys/
 +
directory alongside the public keys.

After you edited the sugarlabs.org zone, execute this script to re-sign the zone

and push your changes to the master DNS:

./update-sugarlabs

 +
The script does:

 +
* commit your changes

* push the commit to the remote repository
 +

The post-receive hook automates the rest of the procedure:
 +
* send a notification email to systems-logs@
 +
* checkout your changes to the bind configuration directory
 +
* make BIND reload its configuration
 +
* watch BIND's log file to ensure there are no errors and slaves are actually transferring the changed zones
 +
 +
For other domains hosted on Sugar Labs infrastructure (such as eg. somosazucar.org) use:
  
* Add comments as needed to describe obscure records in the zone files
+
./update-zone turtleartday.org
 +
 
 +
This will check the zone before pushing.

 +
 
 +
We use a detached working directory to allow the automatic checkout to work (see post-receive hook below). The git repository is in <code>/var/lib/bind/etc/bind.git</code> and the working directory lives in <code>/var/lib/bind/etc/bind</code>. <code>/etc/bind</code> is a symlink to the working directory (<code>/var/lib/bind/etc/bind</code>).

Administrative contact

To request changes to DNS records, contact <hostmaster AT sugarlabs DOT org>

Hostmasters

Current hostmasters are:

(please use preferably the administrative address)

Registered nameservers

The following nameservers are currently registered in whois records for our domains:

hostname aka location IPv4 IPv6
ns1.sugarlabs.org lightwave Sonic, Santa Rosa CA, USA 192.184.220.216 2001:5a8:601:f::216/64
ns2.sugarlabs.net sunjammer FSF, Boston, USA 208.118.235.53 2001:470:142:7::11
ns1.codewiz.org neo Develer, Firenze, Italy 2.228.72.10 2001:b02:400:1::10

Editing zone data

We use distributed version control and admin scripts to arbitrate edits to the zone files and nameserver configurations. DO NOT EDIT THESE FILES DIRECTLY ON THE MASTER NAMESERVER, ANY CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN.

Checkout nameserver config

Checkout the git repository containing the DNS zone data:

git clone lightwave.sugarlabs.org:/var/lib/bind/etc/bind ns

NOTE: Your user on Machine/lightwave needs to be in group hostmaster. Do not clone the repo on lightwave, clone it to your local host.

To push changes, you will also need the DNSSEC private keys for your domain. For security reasons, these are not kept on the master DNS itself. Ask one of the other hostmasters for a copy and put it in the keys/ directory alongside the public keys.

Edit zone data

Guidelines for editing zones:

  • Please keep the zone files tidy, by following indentation style
  • Add comments as needed to describe obscure records in the zone files
  • Remember to keep reverse zones always up to date
  • Bump the serials after each update! (this is done automatically by our update-zone script)

Push changes back to master nameserver

After you edited the sugarlabs.org zone, execute this script to re-sign the zone and push your changes to the master DNS:

./update-sugarlabs

The script does:

  • bump the serial number
  • re-sign the zone with the DNSSEC private keys (which you must copy to keys/)
  • commit your changes
  • push the commit to the remote repository

The post-receive hook automates the rest of the procedure:

  • send a notification email to systems-logs@
  • checkout your changes to the bind configuration directory
  • make BIND reload its configuration
  • watch BIND's log file to ensure there are no errors and slaves are actually transferring the changed zones

For other domains hosted on Sugar Labs infrastructure (such as eg. somosazucar.org) use:

./update-zone turtleartday.org

This will check the zone before pushing.

GIT repository implementation details

We use a detached working directory to allow the automatic checkout to work (see post-receive hook below). The git repository is in /var/lib/bind/etc/bind.git and the working directory lives in /var/lib/bind/etc/bind. /etc/bind is a symlink to the working directory (/var/lib/bind/etc/bind).

See Sysadmin/Autocheckout repositories for all the implementation details.

DNSSEC details

How to create keys for a new domain

We standardized on algorithm 13 (ECDSAP256SHA256) because it's what RFC 8624 recommends and what Cloudflare uses:

cd keys
dnssec-keygen -K keys -3 -a ECDSAP256SHA256 -n ZONE codewiz.org
dnssec-keygen -K keys -3 -a ECDSAP256SHA256 -n ZONE -f KSK codewiz.org

How to manually sign a zone

Normally, you should use the update-zone script

dnssec-signzone -S -e +31536000 -K keys -d keys -o codewiz.org masters/codewiz.org.zone
systemctl restart bind9

Add DS records to TLD

This step must be performed using the interface of the registrar (I used name.com).

The data to copy is written by dnssec-signzone to the file keys/dsset-DOMAIN and looks like this:

 codewiz.org.            IN DS 53631 13 2 C31F7790197F0DC5CE7726F731FA55A9189289540749A68A937BFD09 797D72E6
