you are here 🌎

Somehow, adding a new record to Route53 takes 100 lines of Python. So now it only takes one.

>>> from youarehere import create_record
>>> create_record("A", "foo.example.com", "4.4.4.4")

You can also easily point a record to the current machine:

>>> from youarehere import point_record_to_here
>>> point_record_to_here("foo.example.com")

use case

You have a Raspberry Pi that travels around and you want to keep a pointer to it in Route53. Add this as a cron-job:

$ python3 -c "point_record_to_here('my-pi.example.com')"
