ods-enforcer-db-setup(8)

πŸ’– ods-enforcer-db-setup β€” OpenDNSSEC enforcer daemon initialization utility πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for ods-enforcer-db-setup(8) from the OpenDNSSEC suite, and honestly? she's a little dangerous and I respect her for it. let's get into it 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ods-enforcer-db-setup [-h] [-f] [-V]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so ods-enforcer-db-setup initializes the database that the ods-enforcerd uses. that's her whole job. that's the gig. ✨

but bestie, hear me when I say this: use her with care. like, with care care. because all existing information in the database schema will be deleted. all of it. gone. πŸ’€

and if you've got existing zones stored in this database? that means you lose the information on which zones are signed with which keys. so the whole "which zone belongs to which key" situation? evaporated. no cap.

okay but here's the part that lowkey saves you: the key material itself and the signer information are not removed. so it's not a total wipeout, just a very dramatic reshuffle of the zone-to-key knowledge. still though. 😭

also, ods-enforcer-db-setup is part of the OpenDNSSEC software, obviously. for more info, go to http://www.opendnssec.org and visit the Documentation page. iykyk πŸ“š
