Introduction to Unbound
Unbound is a validating,
recursive, and caching DNS resolver. It is designed as a set of
modular components that incorporate modern features, such as
enhanced security (DNSSEC) validation, Internet Protocol Version 6
(IPv6), and a client resolver library API as an integral part of
the architecture.

Installation of Unbound
There should be a dedicated user and group to take control of the
unbound daemon after
it is started. Issue the following commands as the root user:
groupadd -g 88 unbound &&
useradd -c "Unbound DNS Resolver" -d /var/lib/unbound -u 88 \
-g unbound -s /bin/false unbound
Install Unbound by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--disable-static \
--with-pidfile=/run/unbound.pid &&
make
If you have Doxygen-1.9.8 package installed and want to
build html documentation, run the following command:
make doc
To test the results, issue make
check.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
mv -v /usr/sbin/unbound-host /usr/bin/
If you built the documentation, install it by running the following
commands as the root user:
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/unbound-1.19.0 &&
install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/unbound-1.19.0
Command Explanations
--disable-static:
このスイッチはスタティックライブラリをインストールしないようにします。
--with-libevent: This option enables
libevent support allowing use of large outgoing port ranges.
--with-pyunbound: This option enables
building of the Python bindings.
Configuring Unbound
Config Files
/etc/unbound/unbound.conf
Configuration Information
In the default configuration, unbound will bind to localhost
(127.0.0.1 IP address) and allow recursive queries only from
localhost clients. If you want to use unbound for local DNS
resolution, run the following command as the root user:
echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
For advanced configuration see /etc/unbound/unbound.conf file and the
documentation.
When Unbound is installed, some
package builds fail if the file /etc/unbound/root.key is not found. This file
is created by running the boot script (install instructions
below). Alternatively, it can be created by running the following
command as the root user:
unbound-anchor
Boot Script
If you want the Unbound server
to start automatically when the system is booted, install the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/unbound init script
included in the blfs-bootscripts-20231119 package:
make install-unbound
