# Configuring RFC2136 provider
This tutorial describes how to use the RFC2136 with either BIND or Windows DNS.
## Using with BIND
To use external-dns with BIND: generate/procure a key, configure DNS and add a
deployment of external-dns.
### Server credentials:
- RFC2136 was developed for and tested with [BIND](https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/) DNS server. This documentation assumes that you already have a configured and working server. If you don't, please check BIND documents or tutorials.
- So you should obtain from your administrator a TSIG key. It will look like:
- RFC2136 was developed for and tested with
[BIND](https://www.isc.org/downloads/bind/) DNS server. This documentation
assumes that you already have a configured and working server. If you don't,
please check BIND documents or tutorials.
- If your DNS is provided for you, ask for a TSIG key authorized to update and
transfer the zone you wish to update. The key will look something like below.
Skip the next steps wrt BIND setup.
```text
key "externaldns-key" {
algorithm hmac-sha256;
secret "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==";
secret "96Ah/a2g0/nLeFGK+d/0tzQcccf9hCEIy34PoXX2Qg8=";
};
```
- **Warning!** Bind server configuration should enable this key for AFXR zone transfer. `external-dns` uses it for listing DNS records.
- If you are your own DNS administrator create a TSIG key. Use
`tsig-keygen -a hmac-sha256 externaldns` or on older distributions
`dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-SHA256 -b 256 -n HOST externaldns`. You will end up with
a key printed to standard out like above (or in the case of dnssec-keygen in a
file called `Kexternaldns......key`).
### BIND Configuration:
If you do not administer your own DNS, skip to RFC provider configuration
- Edit your named.conf file (or appropriate included file) and add/change the
following.
- Make sure You are listening on the right interfaces. At least whatever
interface external-dns will be communicating over and the interface that
faces the internet.
- Add the key that you generated/was given to you above. Copy paste the four
lines that you got (not the same as the example key) into your file.
- Create a zone for kubernetes. If you already have a zone, skip to the next
step. (I put the zone in it's own subdirectory because named,
which shouldn't be running as root, needs to create a journal file and the
default zone directory isn't writeable by named).
```text
zone "k8s.example.org" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/pri/k8s/k8s.zone";
};
```
- Add your key to both transfer and update. For instance with our previous
zone.
```text
zone "k8s.example.org" {
type master;
file "/etc/bind/pri/k8s/k8s.zone";
allow-transfer {
key "externaldns-key";
};
update-policy {
grant externaldns-key zonesub ANY;
};
};
```
- Create a zone file (k8s.zone):
```text
$TTL 60 ; 1 minute
k8s.example.org IN SOA k8s.example.org. root.k8s.example.org. (
16 ; serial
60 ; refresh (1 minute)
60 ; retry (1 minute)
60 ; expire (1 minute)
60 ; minimum (1 minute)
)
NS ns.k8s.example.org.
ns A 123.456.789.012
```
- Reload (or restart) named
### Using external-dns
To use external-dns add an ingress or a LoadBalancer service with a host that
is part of the domain-filter. For example both of the following would produce
A records.
```text
# cat /etc/named.conf
...
include "/etc/rndc.key";
controls {
inet 123.123.123.123 port 953 allow { 10.x.y.151; } keys { "externaldns-key"; };
};
options {
include "/etc/named/options.conf";
};
include "/etc/named/zones.conf";
...
# cat /etc/named/options.conf
...
dnssec-enable yes;
dnssec-validation yes;
...
# cat /etc/named/zones.conf
...
zone "example.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/dynamic/db.example.com";
update-policy {
grant externaldns-key zonesub ANY;
};
};
...
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx
annotations:
external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: svc.example.org
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
ports:
- port: 80
targetPort: 80
selector:
app: nginx
---
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: my-ingress
spec:
rules:
- host: ingress.example.org
http:
paths:
- path: /
backend:
serviceName: my-service
servicePort: 8000
```
There are other annotation that can affect the generation of DNS records like
external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/ttl. These are beyond the scope of this
tutorial and are covered elsewhere in the docs.
### Test with external-dns installed on local machine (optional)
You may install external-dns and test on a local machine by running:
```external-dns --txt-owner-id k8s --provider rfc2136 --rfc2136-host=192.168.0.1 --rfc2136-port=53 --rfc2136-zone=k8s.example.org --rfc2136-tsig-secret=96Ah/a2g0/nLeFGK+d/0tzQcccf9hCEIy34PoXX2Qg8= --rfc2136-tsig-secret-alg=hmac-sha256 --rfc2136-tsig-keyname=externaldns-key --rfc2136-tsig-axfr --source ingress --once --domain-filter=k8s.example.org --dry-run```
- host should be the IP of your master DNS server.
- tsig-secret should be changed to match your secret.
- tsig-keyname needs to match the keyname you used (if you changed it).
- domain-filter can be used as shown to filter the domains you wish to update.
### RFC2136 provider configuration:
- Example fragment of real configuration of ExternalDNS service pod.
In order to use external-dns with your cluster you need to add a deployment
with access to your ingress and service resources. The following are two
example manifests with and without RBAC respectively.
- With RBAC:
```text

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
name: external-dns
labels:

```
- `--rfc2136-tsig-secret` - environment variable containing actual secret value from TSIG key. Something like `XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==`.
- `--rfc2136-tsig-keyname` - this is a string parameter with the key name in the Kubernetes secret. It **must match** with key name on the DNS server. In this example it is `externaldns-key`.
## Using with Microsoft DNS

- --rfc2136-tsig-keyname=externaldns-key
- --rfc2136-tsig-axfr
- --source=ingress
- --domain-filter=k8s.example.org
```
## Microsoft DNS
While `external-dns` was not developed or tested against Microsoft DNS, it can be configured to work against it. YMMV.
