Required Reading

This will only really make sense if you have read the general Mintpress Infastructure Framework documentation

Using with mintpress infrastructure framework

include MintPress::Infrastructure
# To use with an existing VM build, this is all you need
UsingPowerDNSEntry.new(webserver_host: 'powerdns.test.mintpress.io',
                       webserver_port: 80,
                       api_key: 'changeme')
# To create a custom DNS entry, try this:
PowerDnsEntry.new(type: 'A',
                  name: 'test1.mintpress.io',
                  values: '192.168.1.100',
                  ttl: 300).create
                  
# Maybe a CNAME
PowerDnsEntry.new(type: 'CNAME',
                  name: 'test2.mintpress.io',
                  values: 'test1.mintpress.io',
                  ttl: 300).create

# Maybe a PTR for test1
PowerDnsEntry.new(type: 'PTR',
                  name: '9.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa', 
                  values: 'test1.mintpress.io',
                  ttl: 300).create

# To create a remove DNS entry, try this:
PowerDnsEntry.new(type: 'A',
                  name: 'test1.mintpress.io').remove

or in chef:

power_dns_zone "test.mintpress.io" do
  webserver_host 'powerdns.test.mintpress.io'
  webserver_port 80
  api_key 'changeme'
  kind 'Native'
  namservers 'powerdns.test.mintpress.io'
end
using_power_dns_entry "powerdns" do
  webserver_host 'powerdns.test.mintpress.io'
  webserver_port 80
  api_key 'changeme'
end

power_dns_entry "test1.mintpress.io' do
  type 'A'
  values '192.168.1.100'
  action :create
end

Creating Zones

To manage powerdns zones, we provide the PowerDnsZone resource - it does NOT use teh UsingPowerDnsEntry details, so you do have to specify the host/port/apikey on this:

include MintPress::Infrastructure
zone = PowerDnsZone.new(webserver_host: 'powerdns.test.mintpress.io',
                         webserver_port: 80,
                         api_key: 'changeme',
                         name: 'test.mintpress.io',
                         dnssec: true,
                         kind: 'native',
                         nameservers: '192.168.1.1')
# Create the zone
zone.create
# Clean it up
zone.delete
