Hi, I'm running an instance of knotd for testing. It is installed with the official ubuntu debian package from kont-dns.cz. When I start the knot service, using systemctl, it takes a very long time to start up (sometimes 30 min). This seems to be related to the systemd unit which is set to type 'notify', and the fact that knot after starting up wants to re-sign all the zones which needs that before notifying. If I change the type to 'simple' or 'forked' (together with the knotd -d option), the start command returns more immediately. My test system has about 800 zonefiles in it. A large number of them want to be re-signed after each startup.
My question is, what is the recommended way to start, stop and restart the server? Also, after starting I cannot find the /run/knot/knot.sock file, which is needed when stopping the service with 'knotc stop'. Knot version: 3.4.1-cznic.1~focal (debian package from knot-dns.cz) OS: Linux 5.4.0/Ubuntu 20.04 Focal amd64. Kind regards, Erik Østlyngen Norid --
