The following minimum system requirements apply to the SoluteDNS Professional Edition. Please the SoluteDNS Core is required for this product.

Database

In most common setups the nameserver database is an remote database. The host SoluteDNS is installed on must be allowed to access this database otherwise the database connection will be refused. Please refer to the reference manual of the database you are using for troubleshooting.

DNSsec

For DNSsec operations SoluteDNS requires access to SSH of the master nameserver. We recommend to create an new user with limited access. You can limit access to the PowerDNS command line interface pdnssec/pdnsutil. No other functions are called. You may want to configure your firewall to only allow an SSH connection from the host SoluteDNS has been installed on.

Please note PHP 8 is not supported by IonCube. Recently encoder v12 was released by IonCube supporting PHP 8.1. We are working on releasing SoluteDNS for encoder v12 and expect this release in Q4 2022. Please note that as result we intend to drop support for PHP 7.4 as its reached EOL.
