@salzmdan I really think default for tcp-io-timeout is too low :(

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

I understand your opinion, but you are influenced by your use case only.Probably you don't know how vulnerable TCP is :-)

There is no universal value for master servers. I can set the default to 500 ms. It will solve just your problem and will affect all other slave servers, which don't need it...

On the other hand, there is no significant difference between 200 and 500.

I just noticed that I stumbled into the @bleve conversation about tcp timeouts with my tcp timeout problem :D

@salzmdan

Yes :-D

Hi all. It looks like the oss-fuzz integration build broke due to gnutls requiring libev4: https://oss-fuzz-build-logs.storage.googleapis.com/log-8c57a29d-aecc-4537-9964-28f39ff6104e.txt

Step #4: configure: error: ***
Step #4: *** libev4 was not found.

I think this patch to the oss-fuzz integration will fix it

I never know and never find the link to this gitter channel but today. I also don't find it in knot docs.

all my problem for 3 months in google search just linked me to the docs and mailing list.

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

But it's on the project web page https://www.knot-dns.cz/development/ :-)

azzamsa

@azzamsa

Oh, I missed that :). which one do you recommend for asking issue, gitter or mailing-list?

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

I think gitter is better for simple questions

azzamsa

@azzamsa

Thank you. I really appreciate for all your hard work for knot and other knot teams. I love that it provides the socket via python, so that I can corporate with our project https://github.com/BiznetGIO/RESTKnot

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

Interesting! Thanks for the link :-)

azzamsa

@azzamsa

:-), I never thought my question in mailing-list/issues would be replied that fast considering this type of project. Turns out it so fast so that I don't have to wait too long to solve my problem :))

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

It's because of Knot DNS is so fast ;-)

azzamsa

@azzamsa

Thank you so much for knot teams! :-))

I am trying to add the nic.cz archive to my system, but on import of the gpg key, I get this message:

gpg --recv-keys 8A0EFB02C84B1E9B

gpg: key 8A0EFB02C84B1E9B: new key but contains no user ID - skipped
gpg: Total number processed: 1

@salzmdan

Try a different keyserver gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 0x8A0EFB02C84B1E9B

muellert

@muellert

Knot does not seem to open a socket.

As a result, I can't send it any queries. It claims "warning: no zones loaded", which is driving me mad. Initially, it loaded zones very well, and "knotc conf-check" says the configuration is valid.

muellert

@muellert

On a different machine with the same OS and the same configuration, exept for the "listen" statement, works without any problems.

That it doesn't open any socket, I have verified with 'ss'.

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

It's difficult to help if you don't provide any logs, configuration, or other details. In general, Knot DNS doesn't require zones configured.

muellert

@muellert

At this point, no TCP or UDP socket is open.

muellert

@muellert

Knot does not seem to do anything after that, unless being instructed via knotc - but it does not open a socket, possibly unless it can find at least one zone to serve. Also, 'knotc zone-reload <zone>' seems to be a noop. Oh... knot actually ignores my entire configuration. But why?

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

This line is important info: loaded configuration database '/var/lib/knot/confdb' ! The server uses configuration database, which is probably empty.

So remove the directory and the configuration file should be used instead.

muellert

@muellert

I tried this, too, but then knot complained about not having a config database.

But let me try again.

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

How do you start the server?

muellert

@muellert

systemd

I am now running the Debian package from OpenSuse.

I have moved the config dir out of the way, and restarted knot. Now it returns SERVFAIL again, but at least, it opens a socket.

Daniel Salzman

@salzmdan

Can you see info: loaded configuration file '/etc/knot/knot.conf'?

Or share the logs again please

muellert

@muellert

No. Now the daemon log looks like this:

It's not enough. What about journalctl -u knot ?

We are looking for some logs about zones...

/bin/ls: cannot access '/var/lib/knot/confdb': No such file or directory

This my-zone.local was something I tried to add via knotc, but it doesn't exist.

The config database it is allegedly trying to load, also does not exist, as indicated by the ls command, and since the zone does not exist, trying to knotc zone-purge does not work, either, with or without -f.

Honestly, I am running out of ideas. Since I "deleted" the config database, and the timers database, too, knot should not know about that ephemeral zone I tried to add from the command line, but stopping and starting knot still results in knot thinking it should load that zone. I have no idea why this is so.
