do-dns-manager
A DNS record manager using DigitalOcean as backend, with its own authentication. Best suited when you just need something that changes the DNS, but you don't want it to have access to other APIs, for example, APIs that can cost you money.
I find this particularly useful for assigning DNS records in a DHCP lease hook.
An example hook is included as dnsmasq-hook
for dnsmasq
users.
Installation
pip install do-dns-manager
Configuration
Create htpasswd.txt somewhere containing lines of username and password pairs
separated by :
, for example:
spam:password ham:hunter2
We will call this file $HTPASSWD
.
Run the DNS manager as follows:
DIGITAL_OCEAN_API_KEY='(api key)' do-dns-manager --domain=example.com --keyfile=$HTPASSWD --port=8888 --address=127.0.0.1
Change (api key)
, example.com
, $HTPASSWD
, 8888
and 127.0.0.1
to fit your situation.
We will use curl
examples:
# Add A record for spam.example.com curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF {"op": "add", "address": "127.0.0.1", "domain": "spam"} EOF # Add AAAA record for spam.example.com curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF {"op": "add", "address": "::1", "domain": "spam"} EOF # Remove A record for spam.example.com curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF {"op": "del", "address": "127.0.0.1", "domain": "spam"} EOF # Remove AAAA record for spam.example.com # Using "address": "::1" instead of "type": "AAAA" also works curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF {"op": "del", "type": "AAAA", "domain": "spam"} EOF
