What is nsedit?

nsedit is a DNS editor for PowerDNS. It is created to finally replace poweradmin and take DNS editing to what we're used at in 2014. It uses the PowerDNS API to make changes in your zones, so you can use the backend that you want, no matter what.

Features

Import BIND- or AXFR-style dumps of your existing zones
Add/remove zones and records
Show the DNSsec details of a zone
Multiple user support
[experimental] nsedit API, to create zones from another system

User support

Multiple users are supported. A user can be an admin or a normal user. You can configure wheter or not a normal user is allowed to add new zones.

WeFact Login support

WeFact is A hosting billing product. nsedit can authenticate against the WeFact API, which allows your customers to login on nsedit with their WeFact credentials. It will automatically show their domains and allow them to edit them.

Requirements

A webserver running php
php sqlite3
php curl
PowerDNS with the experimental JSON-api enabled (3.4.0 should do)

Installing

Run git clone --recursive https://github.com/tuxis-ie/nsedit.git where you want to run nsedit
Copy includes/config.inc.php-dist to includes/config.inc.php and edit config.inc.php to your needs.
By default, nsedit writes its user database to ../etc/pdns.users.sqlite3. Be sure that your webserver can create that directory and write to it
Visit http(s):///nsedit/ and login with admin/admin (Don't forget to update your password!)

Have fun ;)
