PowerDNS Recursor chart

The PowerDNS Recursor is a high-performance DNS recursor with built-in scripting capabilities. It is known to power the resolving needs of over 150 million internet connections.

Prerequisites

Kubernetes 1.4+ with Beta APIs enabled

Installing the chart

The chart can be installed as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/yeyus/pdns-recursor-helm.git
$ helm install --name dns --namespace=namespace ./pdns-recursor-helm

The command deploys PowerDNS Recursor on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The configuration section lists various ways to override default configuration during deployment.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the pdns deployment:

$ helm delete pdns

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Configuration

See values.yaml for configuration notes. Specify each parameter using the --set key=value[,key=value] argument to helm install. For example,

$ helm install --name pdns \
  --set pdns.api.key=SomeKnownKey \
    ./pdns-recursor-helm

The above command sets the API key to SomeKnownKey.

Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the above parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example,

$ helm install --name pdns -f values.yaml ./pdns-recursor-helm

Tip: You can use the default values.yaml
