# DNS
# -----------------------------------------------

# This script installs packages, but the DNS zone files are only
# created by the /dns/update API in the management server because
# the set of zones (domains) hosted by the server depends on the
# mail users & aliases created by the user later.

source setup/functions.sh # load our functions
source /etc/mailinabox.conf # load global vars

# Install `nsd`, our DNS server software, and `ldnsutils` which helps
# us sign zones for DNSSEC.

# ...but first, we have to create the user because the 
# current Ubuntu forgets to do so in the .deb
# (see issue #25 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nsd/+bug/1311886)

# Okay now install the packages.
#
# * nsd: The non-recursive nameserver that publishes our DNS records.
# * ldnsutils: Helper utilities for signing DNSSEC zones.
# * openssh-client: Provides ssh-keyscan which we use to create SSHFP records.

# TLDs don't all support the same algorithms, so we'll generate keys using a few
# different algorithms. RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 was possibly the first widely used
# algorithm that supported NSEC3, which is a security best practice. However TLDs
# will probably be moving away from it to a a SHA256-based algorithm.
#
# Supports `RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1` (didn't test with `RSASHA256`):
#

#
# Requires `RSASHA256`

#  * .guide

# Supports `RSASHA256` (and defaulting to this)

	# Create the Key-Signing Key (KSK) (with `-k`) which is the so-called
	# Secure Entry Point. The domain name we provide ("_domain_") doesn't

	# we're capturing into the `KSK` variable.

	# Now create a Zone-Signing Key (ZSK) which is expected to be
	# rotated more often than a KSK, although we have no plans to
	# rotate it (and doing so would be difficult to do without
	# disturbing DNS availability.) Omit `-k` and use a shorter key length.
	ZSK=$(umask 077; cd $STORAGE_ROOT/dns/dnssec; ldns-keygen -a $algo -b 1024 _domain_);

	#

	# * `K_domain_.+007+08882.key`: public key
	# * `K_domain_.+007+08882.private`: private key (secret!)

	# The filenames are unpredictable and encode the key generation
	# options. So we'll store the names of the files we just generated.
	# We might have multiple keys down the road. This will identify
	# what keys are the current keys.
