Right, Ubuntu starts it by default once it's installed, IIRC.

You need to enable console access by adding the following lines to
/etc/dnsdist/dnsdist.conf and restarting dnsdist:

controlSocket("127.0.0.1")
setKey("sepuCcHcQnSAZgNbNPCCpDWbujZ5esZJmrt/wh6ldkQ=")

Please change the key (you can generate a new one using makeKey() from
dnsdist's console once it works), especially if you plan on enabling
remote access to the console.

Best regards,
