• How To Install And Use The djbdns Name Server On Debian Etch

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: dns, debian, djbdns • Comments: 5

  How To Install And Use The djbdns Name Server On Debian Etch djbdns is a very secure suite of DNS tools that consists out of multiple parts: dnscache, a DNS cache that can be used in /etc/resolv.conf instead of your ISP's name servers and that tries to sort out wrong (malicious) DNS answers; axfrdns, a service that runs on the master DNS server and to which the slaves connect for zone transfers; and tinydns, the actual DNS server, a very secure replacement for BIND.

• Installing PowerDNS (With MySQL Backend) And Poweradmin On Debian Etch

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: dns, debian, powerdns • Comments: 8

  Installing PowerDNS (With MySQL Backend) And Poweradmin On Debian Etch This article shows how you can install the PowerDNS nameserver (with MySQL backend) and the Poweradmin control panel for PowerDNS on a Debian Etch system. PowerDNS is a high-performance, authoritative-only nameserver - in the setup described here it will read the DNS records from a MySQL database (similar to MyDNS), although other backends such as PostgreSQL are supported as well. Poweradmin is a web-based control panel for PowerDNS.

• Installing MyDNS-NG & MyDNSConfig 3 On Debian Lenny

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: control panels, debian, dns, mydns • Comments: 3

  Installing MyDNS-NG & MyDNSConfig 3 On Debian Lenny In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure MyDNS-NG and MyDNSConfig 3 on Debian Lenny. MyDNS-NG is a DNS server that uses a MySQL database as backend instead of configuration files like, for example, Bind or djbdns. MyDNSConfig is an easy to use web-based interface to MyDNS-NG. MyDNSConfig can create all types of DNS records that are available in MyDNS and adds features like user management and access privileges.

• How To Enable Networking In Xen Guests On Hetzner's New EQ Servers (Debian Lenny)

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, virtualization, xen • Comments: 5

  How To Enable Networking In Xen Guests On Hetzner's New EQ Servers (Debian Lenny) This tutorial shows how you can enable networking in Xen guests (domU) on Hetzner's new EQ servers. With the new EQ servers, you can get up to three additional IPs that are in the same subnet as the server's main IP. The problem is that these additional IPs are bound to the MAC address of the host system (dom0) - Hetzner's routers will dump IP packets if they come from an unknown MAC address. This means we cannot use Xen's bridged mode, but must switch to Xen's routed mode where the host system (dom0) acts as the gateway for the guests.

• How To Enable Networking In Xen Guests On Hetzner's DS Servers (Debian Etch)

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, virtualization, xen • Comments: 4

  How To Enable Networking In Xen Guests On Hetzner's DS Servers (Debian Etch) This tutorial shows how you can enable networking in Xen guests (domU) on Hetzner's DS servers. With the DS servers, you can get a subnet of eight additional IPs (or more) - usually that subnet is different from the subnet that the server's main IP is from. The problem is that these additional IPs are bound to the MAC address of the host system (dom0) - Hetzner's routers will dump IP packets if they come from an unknown MAC address. This means we cannot use Xen's bridged mode, but must switch to Xen's routed mode where the host system (dom0) acts as the gateway for the guests.

• VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 3.1.x On A Headless Debian Lenny Server

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, virtualbox, virtualization • Comments: 3

  VBoxHeadless - Running Virtual Machines With VirtualBox 3.1.x On A Headless Debian Lenny Server This guide explains how you can run virtual machines with Sun xVM VirtualBox 3.1.x on a headless Debian Lenny server. Normally you use the VirtualBox GUI to manage your virtual machines, but a server does not have a desktop environment. Fortunately, VirtualBox comes with a tool called VBoxHeadless that allows you to connect to the virtual machines over a remote desktop connection, so there's no need for the VirtualBox GUI.

• The Perfect Xen Setup For Debian And Ubuntu

  Author: Falko Timme • Tags: debian, ubuntu, virtualization, xen • Comments: 23

  The Perfect Xen Setup For Debian And Ubuntu This tutorial provides step-by-step instructions on how to install Xen (version 2) on a Debian Sarge (3.1) system. It should apply to Ubuntu systems with little or no modifications.Xen lets you create guest operating systems (*nix operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD), so called "virtual machines" or domUs, under a host operating system (dom0). Using Xen you can separate your applications into different virtual machines that are totally independent from each other (e.g. a virtual machine for a mail server, a virtual machine for a high-traffic web site, another virtual machine that serves your customers' web sites, a virtual machine for DNS, etc.), but still use the same hardware. This saves money, and what is even more important, it's more secure. If the virtual machine of your DNS server gets hacked, it has no effect on your other virtual machines. Plus, you can move virtual machines from one Xen server to the next one.
