Is PowerDNS version 4 supported in ISPconfig 3?

Hi,
I know PowerDNS version 3 is supported and working with ISPconfig 3.
Because of the CAA record requirement for letsencrypt certs, I was wondering if PowerDNS version 4 is supported with ISPconfig 3.
Any advice?

While testing out PowerDNS version 3 and version 4 with ispconfig 3 on centos 6 and 7, there were some issues with the mysql database. I have made some modifications to the database. With the modified sql statements, it seems to work.
Of course the full support of PowerDNS version 4 is currently not there. As for PowerDNS version 3, it seems to be there and working great.
Here are the modified sql statements to create the powerdns database. These seem to work.

Tried searching the forums but could not find any comment on PowerDNS version 4 for ISPconfig 3.
Hoping the developers would comment on it.
Would PowerDNS version 4 be supported for ISPconfig version 3?
Hope to hear some comments.

 

Thank you for the reply. Just the information I needed.
Unfortunately I am not good at programming.
Looks like I may have to move to bind or sponsor the development. Not sure how much it is going to cost.
I will message Till directly.
Once again thank you for the reply.

 

hmm good idea, never used ISPConfig DNS b/c it states it likes bind all over the place, was about to move my external DNS from pdns to knot dns out of curiosity but... uhm integrating things ... @till how bad is the plugin? can't imagine it should be too hard to fix an existing base, but yeah I have no idea what changed - just curious

 

That would be so cool if you can help. I really like pdns. Any reason for moving out of pdns?

 

looked at it, 2 years but as looking over the code nd seeing original author I'm confident it shouldn't be a pain to get it going sooner or later, don't stop looking, all I say is that I may! play a little bit with it at "home"

hmm changing to knot dns uhm no specific reasons, it has less features but I wonder wether it actually performs better as they're claiming ^^ even it's in a range I'll only reach when someone sends something named after an old PC-operating system which has a Free-version 1.something aswell ^^

yeah I might stick with pdns

 

Just curious. Got any chance to look at the code? Any chance of an upgrade that will support powerdns 4. Just asking. If no time, it's ok.

 

Hi all,
I want to try ISPConfig and I definitely need it to work with PowerDNS.
Is there already PowerDNS 4.x support in ISPConfig 3.x?
If 'yes', would somebody please tell me what exactly installation/configuration guide should I read in order to reveal the secret 'PowerDNS plug-in activation mechanism'? Because all I find it's just posts here with 'you-should-install-it-manually' mantra. But how?

 

Hi,
I want to maintain the PowerDNS plugin code and keep it compatible with ISPConfig 3+
Do you have any precaution to start?
