# Setup MySQL database for PowerDNS-Admin
|
|
|
|
This guide will show you how to prepare a MySQL or MariaDB database for PowerDNS-Admin.
|
|
|
|
We assume the database is installed per your platform's directions (apt, yum, etc).
|
|
|
|
## Setup database:
|
|
|
|
Connect to the database (Usually using `mysql -u root -p` - then enter your MySQL/MariaDB root users password if applicable), then enter the following:
|
|
```
|
|
CREATE DATABASE `powerdnsadmin` CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
|
|
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `powerdnsadmin`.* TO 'pdnsadminuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';
|
|
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
|
|
quit
|
|
```
|
|
- If your database server is located on a different machine then change 'localhost' to '%'
|
|
- Replace YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE with a secure password.
|
|
|
|
## Install required packages:
|
|
### Red-hat based systems:
|
|
|
|
### Debian based systems:
|
|
```
|
|
apt install libmysqlclient-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Install python packages:
|
|
```
|
|
pip3 install mysqlclient==2.0.1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Known issues:
|
|
|
|
Problem: If you plan to manage large zones, you may encounter some issues while applying changes. This is due to PowerDNS-Admin trying to insert the entire modified zone into the column history.detail.
|
|
|
|
Using MySQL/MariaDB, this column is created by default as TEXT and thus limited to 65,535 characters.
|
|
|
|
Solution: Convert the column to MEDIUMTEXT:
|
|
```
|
|
USE powerdnsadmin;
|
|
ALTER TABLE history MODIFY detail MEDIUMTEXT;
|
|
```
