New to MacPorts, stumped

[Gerben Wierda]

I am building a new Mac Mii Server, replacement for one running High Sierra with Server.app that still includes Mail & Web. I want the new server still to run Server.app for DNS, device management, profile management, Open Directory (required for some other stuff) so I will be adding MacPorts mail & web (could be difficult as there already is an Apache server for profile manager and device manager) to a macOS Mojave Server.

A stretch objective is to connect postfix and dovecot to OpenDirectory for authentication.

At this point the system is almost pristine (clean OS install, Xcode install, Server.app install and basic config) and MacPorts has been installed and the first port has been installed.

Anyway, I am documenting everything I have to do and I have run into a situation where I am now stumped and the documentation for searching on the system in /opt does help me out.

Here is my log snippet:
Installed unbound using MacPorts

sudo port install unbound

which ends with:

  unbound has the following notes:
    An example configuration is provided at /opt/local/etc/unbound/unbound.conf-dist.

    A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting unbound with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start
    it, and to cause it to launch at startup:
    
        sudo port load unbound

Had some trouble locating unbound documentation to see how I can setup my local zone. Is part of the main configuration. Stumped! Where is the start-up item for unbound so I can check before installing it via port load unbound? Question: Why is so much owned in /opt owned by group unbound?

I’m stumped and I don’t understand that group ownership. Can anybody explain?
