Vesta Control Panel - Forum

Hello there,

I've setup everything on 2 VPS but to add one of them for DNS replication i have a problem.
It asks for a user 'dns-cluster'.

Well to add it on debian, i've tried adduser but it asks for a password so no chance.

Could you guys give me an hand?

Thanks!

I guess, it could be done using:

#v-add-user dns-cluster

Well that also asks for password...

Usage: I think that this is not the way i need to add the user.
It must be like "adduser dns-cluster" but with that way it asks for a password too. (supposing that replication needs a user on the OS and not on the panel)

Can't get it really...

gtzenis right, all you need is to add dns-cluster user. It can be added via web-interface or in CLI just like usual user account. You can use random password, it doesn't really matter. User is needed to assign slave domains.

Added, but there's something that isn't clear.

After all is setup, how do it really works?

I've created the dns-cluster user on the NS1 server.
And done the "v-add-remote-dns-host" on the NS2.

Does the NS1 synchronizes with the NS2 now? The already done domains?

When you add remote node it automatically receives all domains. It's easy to check, you can login on ns2 and list dns domains as user dns-cluster. Synchronization is event based, every time you change something or add it trigger sync function.

Well i've seen it's functioning, but on the wrong way...
It synchronizes the NS2 to the NS1...
Gonna make the think on the other side ;)

Is also any way to remove the dns-host?

Sure, you can delete it

Thanks so much, ill maybe write a tutorial later on how to setup the thing correcly :)
Would be also great to have a tutorial subforum here on the forum so people could help each other without asking so much questions. Although it's a great peace of software that we have here.
Thank you!

(i would also love to see the web and mail clustered in the next releases if possible :))

Mail cluster is already in backlog. We will try to finish it within 2 months
