How to update PowerDNS Authoritative DNS server

Open update page ↗
  1. Read the release notes first — self-hosted projects break config and schemas between versions more often than appliances do.
  2. Docker: pull the new image tag and recreate the container (`docker compose pull && docker compose up -d`).
  3. Package or bare metal: update through your distribution's package manager, or replace the binary from the releases page.
  4. Back up the config and database directory first. For most projects a downgrade is not supported once the schema has migrated.

Always install releases from the project itself. Firmwarely links out; it never hosts downloads.

This is PowerDNS Authoritative Server, version 5.1.4. This version contains a few bug fixes, as well as a feature initially planned for 5.2.0 only: the ability to disable the NAPTR additional processing introduced in 5.0.0.
