# Configuration Guide

This document provides instructions for configuring Namingo, the domain registry management tool, after installation. It covers configuring the system, adding additional components, and customizing various configuration files for optimal setup.

## 1. Post-Installation Configuration

This section provides instructions for configuring your system after installing Namingo, including setting up additional components and customizing configuration files.

### 1.1. Launching WHOIS, RDAP, and DAS Servers

To start the WHOIS, RDAP, and DAS servers, use the following commands:

```bash
systemctl start whois
systemctl start rdap
systemctl start das
```

Ensure each service is properly configured before starting. You can verify the status of each server with:

```bash
systemctl status whois
systemctl status rdap
systemctl status das
```

### 1.2. Launching EPP Server

Before launching the EPP server, edit `/opt/registry/epp/config.php` to set the paths to your certificates and configure other options as needed.

To create test certificates (`cert.pem` and `key.pem`), execute the following commands:

```bash
cd /opt/registry/epp/
openssl genrsa -out key.pem 2048
openssl req -new -x509 -key key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365
```

Once configured, you can launch the EPP server in the same way as the others:

```bash
systemctl start epp
```

### 1.3. Optional Control Panel Configuration

Features You May Want to Enable or Customize:

#### 1.3.1. Customizing the Logo and Pages

**1.3.1.1. Customizing the Logo**:
Upload your custom logo as `logo.svg` to `/var/www/cp/public/static/`. If `logo.svg` is not present, the default `logo.default.svg` will be used automatically.

**1.3.1.2. Customizing the Documentation Page**:
To customize the documentation, copy `docs.twig` to `docs.custom.twig` using the command `cp /var/www/cp/resources/views/admin/support/docs.twig /var/www/cp/resources/views/admin/support/docs.custom.twig`. Edit `docs.custom.twig` as needed. The system will use `docs.custom.twig` if it exists; otherwise, it defaults to `docs.twig`.

**1.3.1.3. Customizing the Media Kit Page**:
To customize the media kit page, copy `mediakit.twig` to `mediakit.custom.twig` using `cp /var/www/cp/resources/views/admin/support/mediakit.twig /var/www/cp/resources/views/admin/support/mediakit.custom.twig`. Edit `mediakit.custom.twig` to apply your changes. The system will prioritize `mediakit.custom.twig` over the default file.

**1.3.1.4. Customizing the Landing Page**:
To customize the landing page, copy `index.twig` to `index.custom.twig` using `cp /var/www/cp/resources/views/index.twig /var/www/cp/resources/views/index.custom.twig`. Edit `index.custom.twig` to apply your changes. The system will prioritize `index.custom.twig` over the default file.

#### 1.3.2. Changing the Default Language

To change the default language of the control panel, you must edit the `/var/www/cp/.env` file and replace the language values (`LANG`/`UI_LANG`) with your desired settings.

For the `LANG` variable, the supported values are `en_US`, `uk_UA`, `es_ES`, `pt_PT`, `jp_JP`, `ar_SA`, and `fr_FR`. For the `UI_LANG` variable, use `us`, `ua`, `es`, `pt`, `jp`, `ar`, or `fr`.

To apply your changes, save the file, refresh the control panel, and clear the cache using the following command: `php /var/www/cp/bin/clear_cache.php` The new language settings will take effect immediately.

#### 1.3.3. WebAuthn Authentication

To enable WebAuthn authentication in the Control Panel, follow these steps:

1. Edit the environment configuration file located at: `/var/www/cp/.env`

2. Find or add the following line:

```bash
WEB_AUTHN_ENABLED=true
```

3. Save the changes and reload the server (Caddy) using the following command:

```bash
sudo systemctl reload caddy
```

#### 1.3.4. Password Policy Documentation

**Default Password Strength**
- The default password strength requirement is **3**.
- Password strength is measured on a scale from **0 (weak) to 4 (strong)**.
- To modify the required strength, update the `.env` file.

**Example:**
```sh
PASSWORD_STRENGTH=4
```

This will require stronger passwords.

**Password Expiration**
- By default, passwords expire after **90** days.
- Users will be required to reset their password after this period.
- To change the expiration period, modify the `.env` file.

**Example:**
```sh
PASSWORD_EXPIRATION_DAYS=180
```

This will extend the password expiration to **180** days.

**How to Apply Changes**
- Edit the `.env` file located at `/var/www/cp/.env`
- Save the file and restart Caddy if necessary.

#### 1.3.5. Setting Up Redis Session Storage

To utilize Redis for session storage, you need to install the necessary packages and configure your environment accordingly. Follow these steps to set up Redis session storage:

```bash
cd /var/www/cp
composer require pinga/session-redis
```

After installation, log out of your application if you are currently logged in. This ensures that the session starts afresh with the new configuration.

Clear your browser cookies related to the application. This step is crucial as it removes any existing session cookies that were set using the previous session storage mechanism.

Upon your next login, Redis will be used for storing session data. The new sessions will be created and managed through Redis, providing a more scalable and efficient session management system.

### 1.4. Setting Up the Automation System

Follow these steps to configure the automation system for your registry:

#### 1.4.1. Configuration

Move to the automation directory with the following command:

```bash
cd /opt/registry/automation
```

Open `config.php` and adjust all necessary settings to suit your system's requirements. Make sure to review and fine-tune each option for optimal performance.

#### 1.4.2. Configuring the Message Broker

You can easily configure the message broker for email delivery in ```config.php```. It is compatible with SendGrid, Mailgun API, and PHPMailer for those opting to use their own SMTP server. All necessary settings are conveniently located under the mailer_ lines within the file.

For establishing your own mail server, both [Mox](https://github.com/mjl-/mox) and [Stalwart](https://stalw.art/) offer comprehensive solutions. You can install Mox by following its GitHub instructions, or Stalwart by referring to its official site. Once installed, enter the required details in the ```config.php``` file to complete the setup.

To run the Message Broker, execute the following commands:

```bash
systemctl start msg_producer
systemctl start msg_worker
```

#### 1.4.3. Setting Up an Audit Trail Database for Namingo

To create an audit trail database for Namingo, start by editing the configuration file located at `/opt/registry/automation/audit.json` with the correct database details. This includes specifying the database connection parameters such as host, username, and password. Once your configuration is set up, run the command:

```bash
/opt/registry/automation/vendor/bin/audit -v audit /opt/registry/automation/audit.json
```

This will initialize and configure the audit trail functionality. This process ensures that all necessary tables and structures are set up in the registryAudit database, enabling comprehensive auditing of Namingo's operations.

**Currently, the audit trail setup for Namingo is supported only with MySQL or MariaDB databases. If you're using PostgreSQL, you'll need to utilize an external tool for audit logging, such as [pgAudit](https://minervadb.com/index.php/pgaudit-open-source-postgresql-audit-logging/), which provides detailed audit logging capabilities tailored for PostgreSQL environments.**

#### 1.4.4. Setup Backup

To set up backups in Namingo:

1. Rename `/opt/registry/automation/backup.json.dist` and `/opt/registry/automation/backup-upload.json.dist` to `backup.json` and `backup-upload.json`, respectively. Edit both files to include the correct database and other required details. If using SFTP and just username and password, make sure you check `backup_upload.php` for which values you need to set to `null` in `backup-upload.json`.

2. Enable the backup functionality in `cron.php` or `cron_config.php` and make sure you follow the instructions in section **1.4.9. Running the Automation System** to activate the automation system on your server.

#### 1.4.5. RDE (Registry data escrow) configuration

**1.4.5.1. Generate the Key Pair**: Create a configuration file, say key-config, with the following content:

```yaml
%echo Generating a default key
Key-Type: RSA
Key-Length: 2048
Subkey-Type: RSA
Subkey-Length: 2048
Name-Real: Your Name
Name-Comment: Your Comment
Name-Email: your.email@example.com
Expire-Date: 0
%no-protection
%commit
%echo done
```

Replace "Your Name", "Your Comment", and "your.email@example.com" with your details.

Use the following command to generate the key:

```bash
gpg2 --batch --generate-key key-config
```

Your GPG key pair will now be generated.

**1.4.5.2. Exporting Your Keys**:

Public key:

```bash
gpg2 --armor --export your.email@example.com > publickey.asc
```

Replace `your-email@example.com` with the email address you used when generating the key.

Private key:

```bash
gpg2 --armor --export-secret-keys your.email@example.com > privatekey.asc
```

**1.4.5.3. Secure Your Private Key**: Always keep your private key secure. Do not share it. If someone gains access to your private key, they can impersonate you in cryptographic operations.

**1.4.5.4. Use in RDE deposit generation**: Please send the exported `publickey.asc` to your RDE provider, and also place the path to `privatekey.asc` in the escrow.php system as required.

#### 1.4.6. Setting Up Exchange Rate Download

To enable exchange rate updates, follow these steps:

1. Edit `config.php`, modify the following settings and save the file.

```php
return [
    // Exchange Rate Configuration
    'exchange_rate_api_key' => "", // Your exchangerate.host API key
    'exchange_rate_base_currency' => "USD", // Base currency
    'exchange_rate_currencies' => ["EUR", "GBP", "JPY", "CAD", "AUD"], // Target currencies
];

```

2. Enable Exchange Rate Generation

Ensure your `cron.php` or `cron_config.php` executes the exchange rate update script by setting `exchange_rates` to `true`.

If this is not enabled, you will need to manually edit `/var/www/cp/resources/exchange_rates.json` to provide exchange rates.

#### 1.4.7. Zone generator custom records

Each TLD can have its own custom records file, located in `/opt/registry/automation/`. For example, for the TLD `example`, create the file `/opt/registry/automation/example.php`.

The content of a custom records file should be:

```php
<?php
return [
    // A record
    [
        'name' => '@',          // The name of the record (e.g., @ for the root domain or a subdomain)
        'type' => 'A',          // Record type (A, AAAA, TXT, etc.)
        'parameters' => ['192.0.2.1'], // Parameters required for the record type
    ],
    // AAAA record
    [
        'name' => 'www',
        'type' => 'AAAA',
        'parameters' => ['2001:db8::1'],
    ],
    // TXT record
    [
        'name' => '@',
        'type' => 'TXT',
        'parameters' => ['"v=spf1 include:example.com ~all"'],
    ],
    // MX record
    [
        'name' => '@',
        'type' => 'MX',
        'parameters' => [10, 'mail.example.com.'], // Priority and mail server
    ],
];
```

#### 1.4.8. Extra Scheduled Notification Scripts

In `/opt/registry/tests/`, you will find three notification scripts:

- `recent-domains.php`: Notifies about all domains registered in the last **week**.
- `expiring-domains.php`: Sends notifications for domains expiring in **30, 7, and 1 days.**
- `balance-notify.php`: Alerts registrars with **low or zero balance.**

Some registries may wish to use these scripts and run them automatically. Each script includes comments at the beginning that explain the recommended cron job schedule.

#### 1.4.9. Running the Automation System

1. After successfully configuring all the components of the automation system as outlined in the previous sections, you can proceed to initiate the system.

2. Create the configuration file at `/opt/registry/automation/cron_config.php` with the specified structure, and adjust the values to suit your requirements. Note: If you are managing a gTLD, all services must be enabled for proper operation.

```php
<?php
return [
    'accounting' => false,  // Enable or disable accounting
    'backup' => false,      // Enable or disable backup
    'backup_upload' => false, // Enable or disable backup upload
    'gtld_mode' => false,   // Enable or disable gTLD mode
    'spec11' => false,      // Enable or disable Spec 11 checks
    'exchange_rates' => false,     // Enable or disable exchange rate download
];
```

3. Add the following cron job to the system crontab using ```crontab -e```:

```bash
* * * * * /usr/bin/php /opt/registry/automation/cron.php 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
```

### 1.5. SFTP Server Setup for ICANN

1. Install OpenSSH Server

```bash
apt update && apt install openssh-server
```

2. Configure SSH for SFTP

Edit SSH config:

```bash
nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
```

Add at the end:

```bash
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

Match Address 192.0.47.240,192.0.32.241,2620:0:2830:241::c613,2620:0:2d0:241::c6a5
    PasswordAuthentication no
    PermitRootLogin no

Match User sftpuser
    ChrootDirectory /home/sftpuser
    ForceCommand internal-sftp
    AllowTcpForwarding no
    X11Forwarding no
```

Restart SSH:

```bash
systemctl restart ssh
```

3. Create SFTP User

```bash
groupadd sftp_users
useradd -m -G sftp_users -s /usr/sbin/nologin sftpuser
```

4. Set Directory Permissions

```bash
chown root:root /home/sftpuser
chmod 755 /home/sftpuser
mkdir -p /home/sftpuser/files
chown sftpuser:sftp_users /home/sftpuser/files
chmod 700 /home/sftpuser/files
```

5. Whitelist ICANN IPs in UFW

```bash
ufw allow OpenSSH
ufw allow from 192.0.47.240 to any port 22
ufw allow from 192.0.32.241 to any port 22
ufw allow from 2620:0:2830:241::c613 to any port 22
ufw allow from 2620:0:2d0:241::c6a5 to any port 22
ufw enable
```

6. Generate and Add SSH Key for ICANN

```bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f icann_sftp_key -C "icann_sftp"
```

```bash
mkdir /home/sftpuser/.ssh
chmod 700 /home/sftpuser/.ssh
nano /home/sftpuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
```

Paste `icann_sftp_key.pub`, then set permissions:

```bash
sudo chmod 600 /home/sftpuser/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo chown -R sftpuser:sftp_users /home/sftpuser/.ssh
```

7. Update DNS for `sftp.namingo.org`

Create an A record pointing `sftp.namingo.org` → `<your-server-ip>`.

8. Send ICANN the Following

- SFTP Host: `sftp://sftp.namingo.org`
- Port: `22`
- Username: `sftpuser`
- Public Key: `icann_sftp_key.pub`
- File Path: `/files`

9. Test SFTP Access

```bash
sftp -i icann_sftp_key sftpuser@sftp.namingo.org
```

## 2. DNS Server Setup

### 2.1. Hidden Master DNS with BIND

#### 2.1.1. Install BIND9 and its utilities:

```bash
apt install bind9 bind9-utils bind9-doc
```

#### 2.1.2. Generate a TSIG key:

Generate a TSIG key which will be used to authenticate DNS updates between the master and slave servers. **Note: replace ```test``` with your TLD.**

```bash
cd /etc/bind
tsig-keygen -a HMAC-SHA256 test.key
```

The output will be in the format that can be directly included in your BIND configuration files. It looks something like this:

```bash
key "test.key" {
    algorithm hmac-sha256;
    secret "base64-encoded-secret==";
};
```

Copy this output for use in the configuration files of both the master and slave DNS servers. (```/etc/bind/named.conf.local```)

#### 2.1.3. Named Configuration - Please Choose One:

#### 2.1.3a. Unsigned zone (No DNSSEC):

Edit the named.conf.local file:

```bash
nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local
```

Add the following zone definition:

```bash
zone "test." {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/test.zone";
    allow-transfer { key "test.key"; };
    also-notify { <slave-server-IP>; };
};
```

Replace ```<slave-server-IP>``` with the actual IP address of your slave server. Replace ```test``` with your TLD.

Use rndc to reload BIND:

```bash
systemctl restart bind9
```

Configure the `Zone Writer` in Registry Automation and run it manually the first time.

```bash
php /opt/registry/automation/write-zone.php
```

#### 2.1.3b. Signed zone (With DNSSEC):

Edit the named.conf.local file:

```bash
nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local
```

Add the following DNSSEC policy:

```bash
dnssec-policy "namingo-policy" {
    keys {
        ksk lifetime P1Y algorithm ed25519;
        zsk lifetime P2M algorithm ed25519;
    };
    max-zone-ttl 86400;
    dnskey-ttl 3600;
    zone-propagation-delay 3600;
    parent-propagation-delay 7200;
    parent-ds-ttl 86400;
};
```

Then, add the zone definition:

```bash
zone "test." {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/test.zone";
    dnssec-policy "namingo-policy";
    key-directory "/var/lib/bind";
    inline-signing yes;
    allow-transfer { key "test.key"; };
    also-notify { <slave-server-IP>; };
};
```

Replace ```<slave-server-IP>``` with the actual IP address of your slave server. Replace ```test``` with your TLD.

Finally, set correct permissions and restart BIND9 to apply changes:

```bash
chown -R bind:bind /var/lib/bind
systemctl restart bind9
```

Configure the `Zone Writer` in Registry Automation and run it manually the first time.

```bash
php /opt/registry/automation/write-zone.php
```

**NB! Enable DNSSEC in the TLD management page from the control panel. Mode must be BIND9.** Then upload the DS record to IANA or the parent registry from the Control Panel TLD page.

**Optional: Configure BIND with PKCS#11 support

```bash
apt install softhsm2 opensc libengine-pkcs11-openssl
```

Edit `/etc/bind/named.conf.options` and add the following:

```bash
options {
    // Existing options...
    dnssec-policy "hsm-policy";
};

dnssec-policy "hsm-policy" {
    keys {
        ksk key-directory "pkcs11:token=YourTokenLabel" lifetime P1Y algorithm ecdsap256sha256;
        zsk key-directory "pkcs11:token=YourTokenLabel" lifetime P2M algorithm ecdsap256sha256;
    };
    max-zone-ttl 86400;
    dnskey-ttl 3600;
    zone-propagation-delay 3600;
    parent-propagation-delay 7200;
    parent-ds-ttl 86400;
};
```

Replace `YourTokenLabel` with your actual HSM token label.

BIND will automatically generate keys within the device when configured correctly:

```bash
rndc loadkeys your.tld
```

You can verify the keys with tools provided by your HSM vendor or via standard PKCS#11 utilities:

```bash
softhsm2-util --show-slots
```

#### 2.1.3c. Signed zone (DNSSEC with OpenDNSSEC):

3. Using DNSSEC with :

Edit the named.conf.local file:

```bash
nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local
```

Add the following zone definition:

```bash
zone "test." {
    type master;
    file "/var/lib/bind/test.zone.signed";
    allow-transfer { key "test.key"; };
    also-notify { <slave-server-IP>; };
};
```

Replace ```<slave-server-IP>``` with the actual IP address of your slave server. Replace ```test``` with your TLD.

Install OpenDNSSEC:

```bash
apt install opendnssec opendnssec-enforcer-sqlite3 opendnssec-signer softhsm2
mkdir -p /var/lib/softhsm/tokens
chown -R opendnssec:opendnssec /var/lib/softhsm/tokens
softhsm2-util --init-token --slot 0 --label OpenDNSSEC --pin 1234 --so-pin 1234
```

Update files in `/etc/opendnssec` to match your registry policy. As minimum, please enable at least Signer Threads in `/etc/opendnssec/conf.xml`, but we recommend to fully review [all the files](https://wiki.opendnssec.org/configuration/confxml/). Then run the following commands:

```bash
chown -R opendnssec:opendnssec /etc/opendnssec
ods-enforcer-db-setup
ods-enforcer policy import
rm /etc/opendnssec/prevent-startup
chown opendnssec:opendnssec /var/lib/bind/test.zone
chmod 644 /var/lib/bind/test.zone
ods-enforcer zone add -z test -p default -i /var/lib/bind/test.zone
ods-control start
```

Edit again the named.conf.local file:

```bash
nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local
```

Replace the value for `file` with the following filename:

```bash
...
    file "/var/lib/opendnssec/signed/test.zone.signed";
...
};
```

Use rndc to reload BIND:

```bash
systemctl restart bind9
```

Configure the `Zone Writer` in Registry Automation and run it manually the first time.

```bash
php /opt/registry/automation/write-zone.php
```

#### 2.1.4. Logging:

Place the contents below at `/etc/bind/named.conf.default-logging` and include the file in `/etc/bind/named.conf`:

```bash
logging {
    // General logs (startup, shutdown, errors)
    channel "misc" {
        file "/var/log/named/misc.log" versions 10 size 10m;

        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
    };

    // Zone transfer logs (incoming & outgoing transfers)
    channel "xfer" {
        file "/var/log/named/xfer.log" versions 5 size 5m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
    };

    // Assign categories to log files
    category "default" { "misc"; };
    category "queries" { "query"; };
    category "lame-servers" { "lame"; };

    category "update" { "update"; };
    category "resolver" { "resolver"; };
    category "xfer-in" { "xfer"; };
    category "xfer-out" { "xfer"; };
};
```

#### 2.1.5. Check BIND9 Configuration:

```bash
named-checkconf
named-checkzone test /var/lib/bind/test.zone
```

#### 2.1.6. Restart BIND9 Service:

```bash
systemctl restart bind9
```

#### 2.1.7. Verify Zone Loading:

Check the BIND9 logs to ensure that the .test zone is loaded without errors:

```bash
grep named /var/log/syslog
```

### 2.2. Hidden Master DNS with Knot DNS and DNSSEC

#### 2.2.1. Install Knot DNS and its utilities:

```bash
apt install knot knot-dnsutils
```

#### 2.2.2. Generate a TSIG key:

Generate a TSIG key which will be used to authenticate DNS updates between the master and slave servers. **Note: replace ```test``` with your TLD.**

```bash
cd /etc/knot
knotc conf-gen-key test.key hmac-sha256
```

The output will be in the format that can be directly included in your configuration files. It looks something like this:

```bash
key:
  - id: "test.key"
    algorithm: hmac-sha256
    secret: "base64-encoded-secret=="
```

Copy this output for use in the configuration files of both the master and slave DNS servers. (```/etc/knot/knot.conf```)

#### 2.2.3. Configure DNSSEC Policy:

Add the DNSSEC policy to `/etc/knot/knot.conf`:

```bash
nano /etc/knot/knot.conf
```

Add the following DNSSEC policy:

```bash
policy:
  - id: "namingo-policy"
    description: "Default DNSSEC policy for TLD"
    algorithm: ed25519
    ksk-lifetime: 1y
    zsk-lifetime: 2m
    max-zone-ttl: 86400
    rrsig-lifetime: 14d
    rrsig-refresh: 7d
    dnskey-ttl: 3600
```

#### 2.2.4. Add your zone:

Add the zone to `/etc/knot/knot.conf`:

```bash
zone:
  - domain: "test."
    file: "/etc/knot/zones/test.zone"
    dnssec-policy: "namingo-policy"
    key-directory: "/etc/knot/keys"
    storage: "/etc/knot/zones"
    notify: <slave-server-IP>
    acl:
      - id: "test.key"
        address: <slave-server-IP>
        key: "test.key"
```

Replace ```<slave-server-IP>``` with the actual IP address of your slave server. Replace ```test``` with your TLD.

Generate the necessary DNSSEC keys for your zone using keymgr:

```bash
keymgr policy:generate test.
```

This will create the required keys in `/etc/knot/keys`. Ensure the directory permissions are secure:

```bash
chown -R knot:knot /etc/knot/keys
chmod -R 700 /etc/knot/keys
```

Reload Knot DNS and enable DNSSEC signing for the zone:

```bash
knotc reload
knotc signzone test.
```

Generate the DS record for the parent zone using `keymgr`:

```bash
keymgr ds test.
```

Configure the `Zone Writer` in Registry Automation and run it manually the first time.

```bash
php /opt/registry/automation/write-zone.php
```

**NB! Enable DNSSEC in the TLD management page from the control panel. Mode must be KnotDNS.** Then upload the DS record to IANA or the parent registry from the Control Panel TLD page.

### 2.3. Regular DNS Server Setup

Before editing the configuration files, you need to copy the TSIG key from your hidden master server. The TSIG key configuration should look like this:

```bash
key "test.key" {
    algorithm hmac-sha256;
    secret "base64-encoded-secret==";
};
```

#### 2.3.1. Installation of BIND9

```bash
apt update
apt install bind9 bind9-utils bind9-doc
```

#### 2.3.2. Add the TSIG key to the BIND Configuration

Create a directory to store zone files:

```bash
mkdir /var/cache/bind/zones
```

Edit the `named.conf.local` file:

```bash
nano /etc/bind/named.conf.local
```

First, define the TSIG key at the top of the file:

```bash
key "test.key" {
    algorithm hmac-sha256;
    secret "base64-encoded-secret=="; // Replace with your actual base64-encoded key
};
```

Then, add the slave zone configuration:

```bash
zone "test." {
    type slave;
    file "/var/cache/bind/zones/test.zone";
    masters { 192.0.2.1 key "test.key"; }; // IP of the hidden master and TSIG key reference
    allow-query { any; }; // Allow queries from all IPs
    allow-transfer { none; }; // Disable zone transfers (AXFR) to others
};
```

Make sure to replace `192.0.2.1` with the IP address of your hidden master server and `base64-encoded-secret==` with the actual secret from your TSIG key.

#### 2.3.3. Adjusting Permissions and Ownership

Ensure BIND has permission to write to the zone file and that the files are owned by the BIND user:

```bash
chown bind:bind /var/cache/bind/zones
chmod 755 /var/cache/bind/zones
```

#### 2.3.4. Logging:

Place the contents below at `/etc/bind/named.conf.default-logging` and include the file in `/etc/bind/named.conf`:

```bash
logging {
    // General logs (startup, shutdown, errors)
    channel "misc" {
        file "/var/log/named/misc.log" versions 10 size 10m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
        print-category YES;
    };

    // Query logs (log every DNS query)
    channel "query" {
        file "/var/log/named/query.log" versions 20 size 5m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity NO;
        print-category NO;
    };

    // Lame server logs (misconfigured DNS servers)
    channel "lame" {
        file "/var/log/named/lamers.log" versions 3 size 5m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
        severity info;
    };

    // Security logs (e.g., unauthorized query attempts)
    channel "security" {
        file "/var/log/named/security.log" versions 5 size 10m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
        severity dynamic;
    };

    // DNS updates (useful for dynamic zones)
    channel "update" {
        file "/var/log/named/update.log" versions 3 size 5m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
    };

    // Resolver logs (useful for debugging recursive queries)
    channel "resolver" {
        file "/var/log/named/resolver.log" versions 5 size 5m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
    };

    // Zone transfer logs (incoming & outgoing transfers)
    channel "xfer" {
        file "/var/log/named/xfer.log" versions 5 size 5m;
        print-time YES;
        print-severity YES;
    };

    // Assign categories to log files
    category "default" { "misc"; };
    category "queries" { "query"; };
    category "lame-servers" { "lame"; };
    category "security" { "security"; };
    category "update" { "update"; };
    category "resolver" { "resolver"; };
    category "xfer-in" { "xfer"; };
    category "xfer-out" { "xfer"; };
};
```

#### 2.3.5. Restart BIND9 Service

After making these changes, restart the BIND9 service to apply them:

```bash
systemctl restart bind9
```

#### 2.3.6. Verify Configuration and Zone Transfer

```bash
named-checkconf
grep 'transfer of "test."' /var/log/syslog
```

## 3. Recommended Components and Integrations

This section outlines recommended components to enhance the functionality and reliability of your Namingo setup.

### 3.1. Setup Monitoring

#### 3.1.1. Option 1: Prometheus

```bash
apt update
apt install prometheus prometheus-node-exporter prometheus-mysqld-exporter prometheus-blackbox-exporter prometheus-redis-exporter
```

Edit the Prometheus configuration file: `/etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml` and replace the `rule_files:` and `scrape_configs:` sections with with the following, while editing the hostnames with your own:

```bash
rule_files:
  - "/etc/prometheus/alert.rules"

scrape_configs:
  - job_name: 'prometheus'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9090']

  - job_name: 'node'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9100']

  - job_name: 'mariadb'
    metrics_path: /metrics
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9104']

  - job_name: 'epp_server'
    metrics_path: /probe
    params:
      module: [tcp_connect]
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['epp.namingo.org:700']
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9115  # Blackbox Exporter

  - job_name: 'whois_server'
    metrics_path: /probe
    params:
      module: [tcp_connect]
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['whois.namingo.org:43']
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9115  # Blackbox Exporter

  - job_name: 'das_server'
    metrics_path: /probe

        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9115  # Blackbox Exporter

  - job_name: 'rdap_server'
    metrics_path: /probe
    params:
      module: [tcp_connect]
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:7500']
    relabel_configs:
      - source_labels: [__address__]
        target_label: __param_target
      - source_labels: [__param_target]
        target_label: instance
      - target_label: __address__
        replacement: localhost:9115  # Blackbox Exporter

  - job_name: 'control_panel'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:2019']
      
  - job_name: 'redis'
    static_configs:
      - targets: ['localhost:9121']
```

Set ownership for the configuration file:

```bash
chown prometheus:prometheus /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml
```

Review the Node Exporter service file:

```bash
nano /lib/systemd/system/prometheus-node-exporter.service
```

Edit the MySQL Exporter configuration, modify the `ExecStart` line to explicitly use the MariaDB config file:

```bash
nano /lib/systemd/system/prometheus-mysqld-exporter.service
```

```ini
ExecStart=/usr/bin/prometheus-mysqld-exporter --config.my-cnf=/etc/mysql/exporter.cnf --web.listen-address=:9104
Restart=always
```

Create the MySQL user:

```sql
CREATE USER 'exporter'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT PROCESS, REPLICATION CLIENT, SELECT ON *.* TO 'exporter'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
```

Create a MariaDB config file:

```bash
nano /etc/mysql/exporter.cnf
```

Add the following content (replace `yourpassword` with your real password):

```bash
[client]
user=exporter
password=yourpassword
host=localhost
```

To prevent other users from reading the credentials:

```bash
chmod 600 /etc/mysql/exporter.cnf
chown prometheus:prometheus /etc/mysql/exporter.cnf
```

Add the following on top of the `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` file, before any other blocks:

```bash
{
    servers {
        metrics
    }
}
```

Create alerts for all services:

```bash
nano /etc/prometheus/alert.rules
```

Paste the following:

```bash
groups:
  - name: all_services
    rules:

## 4. Security Hardening

### 4.1. Create the namingo user

```bash
adduser namingo
usermod -aG sudo namingo
```

### 4.2. Set Up Services

```bash
su namingo
sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/{whois.service,epp.service,rdap.service}
```

Modify:

```bash
[Service]
User=namingo
Group=namingo
```

Reload and restart:

```bash
sudo chown -R namingo:namingo /opt/registry /etc/caddy
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart whois epp rdap
```

### 4.3. SSH Hardening

1. Disable Root Login:

```bash
sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
```

Set:

```bash
PermitRootLogin no
```

2. Change SSH Port:

```bash
Port 2222
```

3. Use Key-Based Authentication:

- Generate a key pair:

```bash
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
```

- Add your public key to the `namingo` user:

```bash
su - namingo
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
chmod 700 ~/.ssh
echo "your-public-key" > ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
```

4. Firewall Setup:

```bash
sudo ufw allow 2222/tcp       # New SSH Port
sudo ufw enable
```

5. Restart SSH:

```bash
sudo systemctl restart ssh
```

### 4.4. Other Server Hardening

```bash
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running
sudo systemctl disable <service> # Disable unnecessary ones
sudo apt install fail2ban
sudo systemctl enable fail2ban --now
sudo apt install unattended-upgrades
sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades
```

- Configure Swap (if necessary):

```bash
sudo fallocate -l 1G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
echo '/swapfile none swap sw 0 0' | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
```

### 4.5. Adminer Security settings

To enhance the security of your Adminer installation, we recommend the following settings for Caddy, Apache2, and Nginx:

1. **Rename Adminer File:** Change `adminer.php` to `dbtool.php` to make it less predictable.

2. **Restrict Access by IP:** Only allow access from specific IP addresses.

Below are example configurations for each web server:

#### Caddy

```bash
# Adminer Configuration
route /dbtool.php* {
    root * /usr/share/adminer
    php_fastcgi unix//run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock

    # Define the allowed IP address
    @allowed {
        remote_ip your.ip.address.here
    }

    # Route for allowed IP addresses
    handle @allowed {
        file_server
    }

    # Respond with 403 for any IP address not allowed
    respond "Access Denied" 403
}
```

#### Apache .htaccess

```bash
<Files "dbtool.php">
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from your.ip.address.here
</Files>
```

#### Nginx

```bash
location /dbtool.php {
    allow your.ip.address.here;
    deny all;
}
```

## 5. In-Depth Configuration File Overview

In this section, we provide a detailed overview of each configuration file used in the Namingo domain registry platform. Understanding these files is essential for customizing and optimizing your system according to your specific needs. We will walk you through the purpose of each file, key settings, and recommended configurations to ensure smooth operation and integration with other components of your setup.

### Automation Configuration (`/opt/registry/automation/config.php`)
