  • Referrences
    • 用代码和 Git 管理 DNS 记录 —— DNSControl 和 GitHub Actions CI/CD 实践
    • Overview | DNSControl
  • Troubleshooting
    • Complained on Fedi…
  • Setup
    • Install DNSControl
      • via Homebrew, on macOS

        brew install StackExchange/tap/dnscontrol
        

      • download pre-built binary see releases
    • Set up Git repository for configuration files
      • mkdir dns && cd dns
      • git init
      • nvim creds.json
        • For Cloudflare credentials

          {
            "cloudflare": {
              "TYPE": "CLOUDFLAREAPI",
              "accountid": "$CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID",
              "apitoken": "$CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"
            }
          }
          

        • It can read from enviroment variables, as long as it start with a $
      • nvim dnsconfig.js
        • Don’t type dnscontrol.js… I made that mistake
        • Set up registrar (none is OK) and DNS provider (Cloudflare in this case)

          var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
          var DSP_CLOUDFLARE = NewDnsProvider('cloudflare');
          

        • Use D() to add domain.

          D("example.com", REG_NONE, DSP_CLOUDFLARE, ...)
          

    • Get existing DNS records in JavaScript
      • use dnscontrol get-zone

        dnscontrol get-zone --format=js -out=draft.js "cloudflare" "CLOUDFLAREAPI" "geedea.pro"
        dnscontrol get-zone --format=js -out=draft.js "cloudflare" "CLOUDFLAREAPI" "eltr.ac"
        

      • copy the content from draft.js to dnsconfig.js, and modify it correctly
    • Preview and push
      • dnscontrol preview
      • dnscontrol push
    • Set up automatic workflow (with Forgejo Action)

        name: Push
      
        on:
          push:
            branches:
              - master
      
        jobs:
          push:
            runs-on: docker
