The PowerDNS team publishes an Ansible role for installing and configuring the PowerDNS Auth server itself, but I wanted to go one step further, and ensure that each of my servers has the proper list of zones and that those zones are configured properly. This is especially important when adding zones to a hidden primary+public secondaries configuration.
I found one Ansible module which does some of this work, but the implementation wasn't really something I was happy about, so I've created an initial version of a new one. This new module uses the 'Bravado' Python package to communicate with the Auth server API, which makes the code easy to understand and improve. Along the way I've found a few places where the API could be corrected or improved (and those PRs have been merged so they'll be in version 4.4). Anyone who is interested, take a look at the repo here: https://github.com/kpfleming/ansible-pdns-auth-zone Feedback is more than welcome in the repo and on this list. I'm going to continue adding features to support the zones I'm managing, but I don't use DNSSEC yet so I haven't considered how those features will be supported in the module. I'll be adding a second module to manage metadata entries associated with zones in the next few days too, and presumably we'll need one for TSIG keys and some of the other configurable elements of the server. _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com https://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
