+Thankfully, most of the work has been figured out already.  So, until we get an ansible playbook written, you can follow these steps:
+
+# Ubuntu
+Execute the following:
+```
+sudo apt -y install bind9 git
+cd /var
+sudo git clone https://tildegit.org/ubergeek/.tilde.git
+sudo mv .tilde tilde
+sudo cp db.* /etc/bind/
+sudo cp named.conf.* /etc/bind/
+sudo systemctl restart bind9
+sudo journalctl -xe
+```
+
+The last command should tell you if bind9 reloaded successfully, and if it did not.  If it didn't, you'll need to fix the errors it shows you.
+
+To update the zone files, go to /var/tilde, and execute:
+```
+sudo git pull
+sudo cp db.* /etc/bind/
+sudo cp named.conf.* /etc/bind/
+sudo systemctl reload bind9
+sudo journalctl -xe
+```
+
+# CentOS
+Execute the following:
+```
+sudo yum -y install bind bind-utils git
+cd /var
+sudo git clone https://tildegit.org/ubergeek/.tilde.git
+sudo mv .tilde tilde
+sudo cp db.* /etc/bind/
+sudo cp named.conf.* /etc/bind/
+```
+
+You will have to modify /etc/named.conf to include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local" in order for the above to work correctly.  Then you can do the following:
+
+```
+sudo systemctl restart bind9
+sudo journalctl -xe
+```
+
+The last command will tell you if everything restarted correctly, and if not, where errors are.  You'll need to correct any errors before the service will start correctly.
+
+To update the zone files, go to /var/tilde, and execute:
+```
+sudo git pull
+sudo cp db.* /etc/bind/
+sudo cp named.conf.* /etc/bind/
+sudo systemctl reload bind9
+sudo journalctl -xe
+```
