Running PowerDNS-Admin

There are several ways to run PowerDNS-Admin. The easiest way is to use Docker. If you are looking to install and run PowerDNS-Admin directly onto your system check out the Wiki for ways to do that.

Docker

This are two options to run PowerDNS-Admin using Docker. To get started as quickly as possible try option 1. If you want to make modifications to the configuration option 2 may be cleaner.

Option 1: From Docker Hub

The easiest is to just run the latest Docker image from Docker Hub:

$ docker run -d \
    -e SECRET_KEY='a-very-secret-key' \
    -v pda-data:/data \
    -p 9191:80 \
    ngoduykhanh/powerdns-admin:latest

This creates a volume called pda-data to persist the SQLite database with the configuration.

Option 2: Using docker-compose

  1. Update the configuration if needed Other environment variables are mentioned in the legal_envvars. To use the Docker secrets feature it is possible to append _FILE to the environment variables and point to a file with the values stored in it.
    Make sure to set the environment variable SECRET_KEY to a long random string (https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/config/#SECRET_KEY)

  2. Start docker container

    $ SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="<your-database-uri>" docker-compose up

    Where <your-data-base-uri> contains the database url to be used for PowerDNS Admin (not the DNS server itself).

Note: If you want to run the docker-compose stack in the background you can use the following command:

$ SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI="<your-database-uri>" docker-compose up -d

The docker-compose stack is configured so that PowerDNS Admin will be restarted across system reboots if needed.

You can then access PowerDNS-Admin by pointing your browser to http://localhost:9191.
