Metaname provider for libdns
This package implements the libdns interfaces for Metaname, allowing you to manage DNS records.
Create a provider with:
provider := metaname.Provider{APIKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
AccountReference: "xxxx"}
(use Endpoint: "https://test.metaname.net/api/1.1" for testing)
From there, the four standard methods work. Updating and deleting with a record reference ID retrieved from GetRecords or from a record in the array returned by AppendRecords and SetRecords works, while "guesswork matching" with only record data works in some cases.
There are three main limitations in the provider currently:
- Guesswork matching requires a complete match for deletion, or a matching A/AAAA/CNAME type and name for setting.
- Does not currently support priorities, as Metaname treats these as separate fields not represented in the libdns Record type.
- Metaname fails with no message for certain erroneous configurations (e.g. additional record with existing CNAME at same name), and these are reported only with Metaname's "Internal error" code.
There are sample programs using the provider in the samples/ directory. These are usable programs to list/add/delete records, using three environment variables for configuration:
- api_key
- account_reference
- api_endpoint (optional; default is the test endpoint)
A fourth program, exercise, uses the full range of functionality to retrieve, add, update, and remove records in a zone. This one
makes non-configurable destructive changes and is only suitable as a basis or for testing.
