Installation

pip install do-dns-manager

Configuration

Create htpasswd.txt somewhere containing lines of username and password pairs separated by :, for example:

spam:password
ham:hunter2

We will call this file $HTPASSWD.

Run the DNS manager as follows:

DIGITAL_OCEAN_API_KEY='(api key)' do-dns-manager --domain=example.com --keyfile=$HTPASSWD --port=8888 --address=127.0.0.1

Change (api key), example.com, $HTPASSWD, 8888 and 127.0.0.1 to fit your situation.

We will use curl examples:

# Add A record for spam.example.com
curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF
{"op": "add", "address": "127.0.0.1", "domain": "spam"}
EOF

# Add AAAA record for spam.example.com
curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF
{"op": "add", "address": "::1", "domain": "spam"}
EOF

# Remove A record for spam.example.com
curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF
{"op": "del", "address": "127.0.0.1", "domain": "spam"}
EOF

# Remove AAAA record for spam.example.com
# Using "address": "::1" instead of "type": "AAAA" also works
curl -u 'spam:password' http://127.0.0.1:8888 -d @- <<EOF
{"op": "del", "type": "AAAA", "domain": "spam"}
EOF
