Hi Bill,
You can't mix a configuration database and a configuration file.
You can initialize a database with `knotc conf-init` or `knotc conf-import`.
Then if you start knotd, the database will be used for reading and persistent writing.
The configuration database format is a custom format using LMDB. It's not intended to
be accessed externally!

Hi all,
I'm running Knot 3.4.4 on FreeBSD 14.2, installed from the distribution package
repository.
I'm trying to understand, is there a way to configure knotd using both the
configuration file and the database? For example, can I use the configuration file for
directives like listen and template, then use the configuration database for storing
individual zone settings? So far, it appears that knotd only uses one or the other.
Furthermore, there doesn't seem to be any command to explicitly load or flush
configuration from the database. If I start with the config file, I can initialize the
database, but upon stopping knotd nothing seems to be saved to the database. I also
don't see any documentation on tooling to inspect the database on disk. What is the
file format of the database?
If anybody can help me to know more about how it works I would be most appreciative.
Thanks,
Bill
