Nameservers

To add a new nameserver, click on the “NameServers” tab. Here you are able to see your current nameservers, their status and also the ability to create new.

Create Nameserver

In the form “Create New NameServer”, you can see the following fields:

Field	Description	Example
Host	The external hostname of your nameserver	ns1.YOURDOMAIN.TLD
Ip	The external ip of your nameserver	X.X.X.X
Agent Host	The internal host/ip of your nameserver	X.X.X.X
Agent Port	The port of the agent, you normally wont touch this field	25251
Push Cron Schedule	How often you want bootDNS to push out edited zones, in CRON format default is every hour, check crontab.guru, for more examples	0 * * * *
Type	Standalone: Every node is not dependent of anything, every node is its own master in most cases, you would use this Master: For a master-slave setup, a master contains all zones and contains the “truth” Slave: Caches zones from the master if needed
Token	This Token, is the authentication token from the Agent to the admin module, this is to be used when setting up an agent
Extra	In bootDNS, its possible to create your own type of NS, fx. if you want to push to AWS, you might need some extra variables to be set, its possbile to set them here, in json format, for normal use cases (standalone/master/slave) this is not needed	[ “APIKEY”: “….” ]
