Quickstart

To get more details on configuration and capabilities check octodns repository

1. Organize your configs.

Project
└── .octodns
    ├── config.yaml
    └── zones
        ├── octodns-test-alias.com.yaml
        └── octodns-test.com.yaml

2. Fill octodns configuration file

# .octodns/config.yaml
providers:
  config:
    class: octodns.provider.yaml.YamlProvider
    directory: ./octodns/zones
    default_ttl: 3600
    enforce_order: True
  selectel:
    class: octodns_selectel.SelectelProvider
    token: env/KEYSTONE_PROJECT_TOKEN

zones:
  octodns-test.com.:
    sources:
      - config
    targets:
      - selectel
  octodns-test-alias.com.:
    sources:
      - config
    targets:
      - selectel

3. Prepare config for each of your zones

# .octodns/zones/octodns-test.com.yaml
'':
  - ttl: 3600
    type: A
    values:
      - 1.2.3.4

4. Check and apply!

# Run config and check suggested changes
octodns-sync --config-file=.octodns/config.yaml
# Apply changes if everything is ok by adding
octodns-sync --config-file=.octodns/config.yaml --doit

Current provider vs. Legacy provider

Current provider is octodns_selectel.SelectelProvider
Legacy provider is octodns_selectel.SelectelProviderLegacy

They are not compatible. They utilize different API and created zones live on different authoritative servers. Zone created in v2 API with current provider is entirely new zone, and not available via v1 api and vice versa.

If you are going to create new zone, we strongly recommend to use SelectelProvider.
If you have zones in v1, you still can manage them with SelectelLegacyProvider.

If you updated plugin from unstable (0.x.x) version you should rename provider class in octodns config from SelectelProvider to SelectelLegacyProvider to work with legacy api.

Migration from legacy DNS API

If v1 API is still available for you and your zones are hosted there, then you probably would like to move your zones to v2. Legacy API will be eventually shutdown.
With octodns you can sync ALL your v1 zone with v2 by using both providers as in example below.
❗️IMPORTANT❗️
SELECTEL_TOKEN and KEYSTONE_PROJECT_TOKEN are different tokens!
Above we mentioned how to get keystone token, how to obtain selectel token read here

processors:
  # Selectel doesn't allow manage Root NS records
  # for skipping root ns use IgnoreRootNsFilter class
  no-root-ns:
    class: octodns.processor.filter.IgnoreRootNsFilter

providers:
  selectel_legacy:
    class: octodns_selectel.SelectelProviderLegacy
    token: env/SELECTEL_TOKEN
  selectel:
    class: octodns_selectel.SelectelProvider
    token: env/KEYSTONE_PROJECT_TOKEN

zones:
  # Using '*' to sync all zones available on account.
  "*":
    sources:
      - selectel_legacy
    processors:
    - no-root-ns
    targets:
      - selectel

Development

See the /script/ directory for some tools to help with the development process. They generally follow the Script to rule them all pattern. Most useful is ./script/bootstrap which will create a venv and install both the runtime and development related requirements. It will also hook up a pre-commit hook that covers most of what's run by CI.
