All A/AAAA-resolvable domains that don't send or receive mail should have these null records.
This simplifies the handling of domains a bit by handling automatically generated subdomains more like other domains.
* Stop generating RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 keys on new installs since it is no longer recommended, but preserve the key on existing installs so that we continue to sign zones with existing keys to retain the chain of trust with existing DS records.
* Start generating ECDSAP256SHA256 keys during setup, the current best practice (in addition to RSASHA256 which is also ok). See https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-sec-alg-numbers/dns-sec-alg-numbers.xhtml#dns-sec-alg-numbers-1 and https://www.cloudflare.com/dns/dnssec/ecdsa-and-dnssec/.
* Sign zones using all available keys rather than choosing just one based on the TLD to enable rotation/migration to the new key and to give the user some options since not every registrar/TLD supports every algorithm.
* Allow a user to drop a key from signing specific domains using DOMAINS= in our key configuration file. Signing the zones with extraneous keys may increase the size of DNS responses, which isn't ideal, although I don't know if this is a problem in practice. (Although a user can delete the RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 key file, the other keys will be re-generated on upgrade.)
* When generating zonefiles, add a hash of all of the DNSSEC signing keys so that when the keys change the zone is definitely regenerated and re-signed.
* In status checks, if DNSSEC is not active (or not valid), offer to use all of the keys that have been generated (for RSASHA1-NSEC3-SHA1 on existing installs, RSASHA256, and now ECDSAP256SHA256) with all digest types, since not all registers support everything, but list them in an order that guides users to the best practice.
* In status checks, if the deployed DS record doesn't use a ECDSAP256SHA256 key, prompt the user to update their DS record.
* In status checks, if multiple DS records are set, only fail if none are valid. If some use ECDSAP256SHA256 and some don't, remind the user to delete the DS records that don't.
* Don't fail if the DS record uses the SHA384 digest (by pre-generating a DS record with that digest type) but don't recommend it because it is not in the IANA mandatory list yet (https://www.iana.org/assignments/ds-rr-types/ds-rr-types.xhtml).

These subdomains/records are for automatic configuration of mail clients, but if there are no user accounts on a domain, there is no need to publish a DNS record, provision a TLS certificate, or create an nginx server config block.
* Create the mta_sts A/AAAA records even if there is no valid TLS certificate because we can't get a TLS certificate if we don't set up the domains.
* Make the policy id in the TXT record stable by using a hash of the policy file so that the DNS record doesn't change every day, which means no nightly notification and also it allows for longer caching by sending MTAs.
it is sometimes needed to be able to set axfr to more than just one ip address. This can be done with multiple xfr: in the secondary dns input but if you need to add an entire subnet segment (xxx.xxx.xxx.0/yy) then it will not work.
With this patch it is now possible to use a subnet as input for xfr the same way as if it was an ip address.
@joshdata squashed pull request #1398, removed some comments, and added these notes:
* The old init.d script for the management daemon is replaced with a systemd service.
* A systemd service configuration is added to configure permissions for munin on startup.
* nginx SSL settings are updated because nginx's options and defaults have changed, and we now enable http2.
* Automatic SSHFP record generation is updated to know that 22 is the default SSH daemon port, since it is no longer explicit in sshd_config.
* The dovecot-lucene package is dropped because the Mail-in-a-Box PPA where we built the package has not been updated for Ubuntu 18.04.
* The stock postgrey package is installed instead of the one from our PPA (which we no longer support), which loses the automatic whitelisting of DNSWL.org-whitelisted senders.
* Drop memcached and the status check for memcached, which we used to use with ownCloud long ago but are no longer installing.
* Other minor changes.
The cryptography package has created all sorts of installation trouble over the last few years, probably because of mismatches between OS-installed packages and pip-installed packages. Using a virtualenv for all Python packages used by the management daemon should make sure everything is consistent.
See #1298, see #1264.
* sshfp records from nonstandard ports
If port 22 is not open, dns_update.py will not create SSHFP records
because it only scans port 22 for keys. This commit modifies
dns_update.py to parse the sshd_config file for open ports, and
then obtains keys from one of them (even if port 22 is not open).
* modified test of s per JoshData request
* edit CHANGELOG per JoshData
* fix typo
DavDroid's latest version's account configuration no longer just asked for a hostname. Its email address & password configuration mode did not work without a SRV record.
This was originally fixed in 143bbf37f4 (February 16, 2015). Then I broke it in 7a93d219ef (November 2015) while doing some refactoring ahead of v0.15.
While not widely supported, there are some browser addons that can
validate DNSSEC and TLSA for additional out-of-band verification of
certificates when browsing the web. Costs nothing to implement and
might improve security in some situations.
