# PowerDNS health (hk2)
|
|
|
|
Read-only checks for the `/opt/pdns` stack on **hk2.chans.xyz** (`ns1.wsvc.info`).
|
|
|
|
Facts: [hosts/hk2.chans.xyz.md](../hosts/hk2.chans.xyz.md) · Upstream: [docs/pdns-upstream.md](../docs/pdns-upstream.md)
|
|
|
|
Prefer the Ansible health report (`ansible/playbooks/health-report.yml` with
|
|
`--limit powerdns`) for routine checks. Keep the SSH commands below for focused
|
|
diagnosis, especially direct authoritative DNS queries.
|
|
|
|
## Focused SSH diagnostics
|
|
|
|
Use these only after the Ansible health report needs investigation.
|
|
|
|
### Quick remote
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'cd /opt/pdns && docker compose ps -a'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Expect `auth`, `db`, `poweradmin` healthy; `backup` Up; `pgweb` Up. Ignore stopped orphan `powerdns-admin` unless cleaning orphans.
|
|
|
|
### Version / security poll
|
|
|
|
Expect Authoritative **5.0.6** (or newer). Startup logs should **not** show a Mandatory `Security Update` banner. If they do, check https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/security-advisories/ and bump the `powerdns/pdns-auth-50` image pin in `/opt/pdns/compose.yml`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'docker logs pdns-auth 2>&1 | grep -i "Security Update" | tail -5'
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'docker inspect pdns-auth --format "{{.Config.Image}}"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### DNS (from laptop / WSL)
|
|
|
|
Prefer querying auth/secondary IPs directly (local stub / public resolvers may be flaky or cached):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
NS1=154.36.174.161
|
|
NS2=202.91.35.141
|
|
for z in windy.me wsvc.info chans.xyz; do
|
|
echo "== $z =="
|
|
dig @$NS1 +short NS "$z"
|
|
dig @$NS1 +short SOA "$z"
|
|
dig @$NS2 +short SOA "$z"
|
|
done
|
|
dig @$NS1 +short A ns1.wsvc.info # expect 154.36.174.161
|
|
dig @$NS1 +short A ns2.wsvc.info # expect 202.91.35.141
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Served SOA serial can differ from the backend/API serial when `SOA-EDIT=INCEPTION-INCREMENT` is active — compare **ns1 vs ns2 served SOA**, not dig vs `pdnsutil`/API.
|
|
|
|
### API (on host)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'cd /opt/pdns && docker compose exec -T auth \
|
|
python3 -c "import json,os,urllib.request; print(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(urllib.request.Request(\"http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/v1/servers/localhost\", headers={\"X-API-Key\": os.environ[\"PDNS_API_KEY\"]})))[\"version\")"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or use host loopback with the key from `.env` (do not paste the key into chat/logs).
|
|
|
|
### Web UIs
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# If local stub DNS is flaky, pin SNI to the auth IP:
|
|
curl -4 -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" --resolve pdns.wsvc.info:443:154.36.174.161 https://pdns.wsvc.info/ # 302 → login
|
|
curl -4 -sS -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" --resolve pgweb.wsvc.info:443:154.36.174.161 https://pgweb.wsvc.info/ # 401 without basic auth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Backup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'cd /opt/pdns && ./scripts/manual-backup.sh && ls -lt backup/*.sql.gz | head'
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'tail -30 /opt/pdns/backup/backup.log'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Scheduler should log `scheduler started … (daily 03:00)`. If you see `can't execute 'bash'` or Alpine `apk` errors, the backup image/entrypoint was reverted — see [hosts/hk2.chans.xyz.md](../hosts/hk2.chans.xyz.md).
|
|
|
|
### Config sanity (docs-aligned)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ssh -4 windy@hk2.chans.xyz 'grep -E "^(primary|also-notify|only-notify|allow-axfr-ips|gpgsql-dnssec|default-soa-edit)" /opt/pdns/auth/pdns.conf'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Expect: `primary=yes`, `also-notify=202.91.35.141`, `only-notify=` empty, `gpgsql-dnssec=yes`, SOA-EDIT `INCEPTION-INCREMENT`.
|
|
|
|
## Scheduled local check
|
|
|
|
The sanitized Ansible health profile is `pdns` (`ansible/playbooks/healthchecks.yml`). It runs locally through `vps-healthcheck.timer`, writes a sanitized JSON result to `/var/lib/vps-health/latest.json`, and uses the API key only inside the PowerDNS container. It does not modify PowerDNS, DNS records, or secrets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## After config changes
|
|
|
|
- `auth/pdns.conf`, `auth/templates.d/secrets.j2`, or auth-related `.env` → use the Ansible Compose reconcile playbook with target `auth`
|
|
- Poweradmin env / Traefik labels → use the Ansible Compose reconcile playbook with target `poweradmin`; add `service_reconcile_restart_traefik=true` only if its UI returns 404
|
|
- backup schedule / retention env → use the Ansible Compose reconcile playbook with target `backup`
