kasserver - Manage domains hosted on All-Inkl.com through the KAS server API

This project consists of the Python library kasserver and a few command line utilities to manage domains of the German webhoster All-Inkl.com through their KAS server API.

At the moment the main focus is managing DNS record as this allows to automate the creation of Let’s Encrypt (wildcard) certificates with the ACME DNS-01 challenge.

Installation

kasserver (and its dependencies) can be installed from PyPI with: pip3 install kasserver

Authentication

Both library and command line utilities require access to the KAS credentials. Username and password are read from the KASSERVER_USER and KASSERVER_PASSWORD environment variables or from the ~/.netrc file:

machine kasapi.kasserver.com
login USERNAME
password PASSWORD

The file must be accessible only by your user account: chmod 600 ~/.netrc.

Scripts

kasserver-dns

A generic program to manage DNS records.

DNS records can be listed with:

$ kasserver-dns list example.com
ID C Zone        Name Type  Data               Aux

An existing DNS record is removed with:

kasserver-dns remove test.example.com CNAME
