There are several ways to run PowerDNS-Admin. The quickest way is to use Docker. If you are looking to install and run PowerDNS-Admin directly onto your system, check out the wiki for ways to do that.

Here are two options to run PowerDNS-Admin using Docker. To get started as quickly as possible, try option 1. If you want to make modifications to the configuration option 2 may be cleaner.

To run the application using the latest stable release on Docker Hub, run the following command:

$ docker run -d \
    -e SECRET_KEY='a-very-secret-key' \
    -v pda-data:/data \
    -p 9191:80 \
    powerdnsadmin/pda-legacy:latest

This creates a volume named pda-data to persist the default SQLite database with app configuration.

1. Update the configuration
   Edit the docker-compose.yml file to update the database connection string in SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI. Other environment variables are mentioned in the AppSettings.defaults dictionary. To use a Docker-style secrets convention, one may append _FILE to the environment variables with a path to a file containing the intended value of the variable (e.g. SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI_FILE=/run/secrets/db_uri).
   Make sure to set the environment variable SECRET_KEY to a long, random string (https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/config/#SECRET_KEY)

2. Start docker container

   $ docker-compose up
   

You can then access PowerDNS-Admin by pointing your browser to http://localhost:9191.
