<h2>DNS (Advanced)</h2>
<p class="text-danger">Custom and external DNS are for advanced configurations.</p>
<h3>Custom DNS</h3>
<p>It is possible to set custom DNS records on domains hosted here. For instance, you can create your own dynamic DNS service. To do so, you will need to call your box&rsquo;s DNS API.</p>
<h4>The HTTP POST request</h4>
<p>Send a POST request like this:</p>
<pre>curl -d "" --user {email}:{password} https://{{hostname}}/admin/dns/set/<b>qname</b>[/<b>rtype</b>[/<b>value</b>]]</pre>
<table class="table">
<thead><th>Parameter</th> <th>Value</th></thead>
<tr><td>email</td> <td>The email address of any administrative user here.</td></tr>
<tr><td>password</td> <td>That user&rsquo;s password.</td></tr>
<tr><td>qname</td> <td>The fully qualified domain name for the record you are trying to set.</td></tr>
<tr><td>rtype</td> <td>The resource type. <code>A</code> if omitted. Possible values: <code>A</code> (an IPv4 address), <code>AAAA</code> (an IPv6 address), <code>TXT</code> (a text string), or <code>CNAME</code> (an alias, which is a fully qualified domain name).</td></tr>
<tr><td>value</td> <td>The new record&rsquo;s value. If omitted, the IPv4 address of the remote host is used. This is handy for dynamic DNS! To delete a record, use &ldquo;__delete__&rdquo;.</td></tr>
</table>
<p style="margin-top: 1em">Note that <code>-d ""</code> is merely to ensure curl sends a POST request. You do not need to put anything inside the quotes. You can also pass the value using typical form encoding in the POST body.</p>
<h4>Examples:</h4>
<pre># sets laptop.mydomain.com to point to the IP address of the machine you are executing curl on
curl -d "" --user me@mydomain.com:###### https://{{hostname}}/admin/dns/set/laptop.mydomain.com
# sets an alias
curl -d "" --user me@mydomain.com:###### https://{{hostname}}/admin/dns/set/foo.mydomain.com/cname/bar.mydomain.com
# clears the alias
curl -d "" --user me@mydomain.com:###### https://{{hostname}}/admin/dns/set/bar.mydomain.com/cname/__delete__
# sets a TXT record using the alternate value syntax
curl -d "value=something%20here" --user me@mydomain.com:###### https://{{hostname}}/admin/dns/set/foo.mydomain.com/txt
</pre>
<h3>External DNS</h3>
<p>Although your box is configured to serve its own DNS, it is possible to host your DNS elsewhere.</p>
<p>If you do so, you are responsible for keeping your DNS entries up to date! If you previously enabled DNSSEC on your domain name by setting a DS record at your registrar, you will likely have to turn it off before changing nameservers.</p>
<p>Enter the following DNS entries at your DNS provider:</p>
<table id="external_dns_settings" class="table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>QName</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
<script>
function show_system_dns() {
$('#external_dns_settings tbody').html("<tr><td colspan='2' class='text-muted'>Loading...</td></tr>")
api(
"/dns/dump",
"GET",
{ },
function(zones) {
$('#external_dns_settings tbody').html("");
for (var j = 0; j < zones.length; j++) {
var h = $("<tr class='heading'><td colspan='3'></td></tr>");
h.find("td").text(zones[j][0]);
$('#external_dns_settings tbody').append(h);
var r = zones[j][1];
for (var i = 0; i < r.length; i++) {
var n = $("<tr class='values'><td class='qname'/><td class='rtype'/><td class='value'/></tr>");
n.find('.qname').text(r[i].qname);
n.find('.rtype').text(r[i].rtype);
n.find('.value').text(r[i].value);
$('#external_dns_settings tbody').append(n);
var n = $("<tr class='explanation'><td colspan='3'/></tr>");
n.find('td').text(r[i].explanation);
$('#external_dns_settings tbody').append(n);
}
}
})
}
