Down with Google, Apple, and Facebook!
We're re-decentralizing the web and making it read-write again - one home cloud system at a time.

That's what we're doing and that's what these tools are for.
daplie-tools is a CLI suite of tools for managing Internet infrastructure:
Manage Domains
daplie.me subdomainManage DNS
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
(NAT automation and Reverse VPN purchase are planned for the future)
This is alpha software (not quite beta yet).
We're intending this to be used by people that are happy to submit to us bug reports and not give up when it doesn't work quite right.
(remember: computers are like people - no two are alike and although it works as expected for everyone else, it will somehow fail for you)
Minimal
# install node.js 4.3 or greater
curl -sL bit.ly/nodejs-min | bash
# install daplie-tools
npm install -g daplie-tools
Note: you will need curl and git installed.
With Development Tools
# install various daplie scripts to /usr/local/bin
curl -sL https://daplie.me/install-scripts | bash
# install node.js 4.3 or greater
daplie-install-node-dev
# install daplie-tools
npm install -g daplie-tools
If you don't want to use the scripts you can always download node.js here: https://nodejs.org/en/download/
(but then you have to fix permissions on /usr/local and perhaps deal with quirks).
Download and install the node.js installer from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
npm install -g daplie-tools
Windows is not as well tested, but our goal is to make it a first-class citizen, so please open issues for anything that doesn't work as you expect. I just got a Surface Book (yay!) so hopefully I'll find the bugs before you do. We shall see.
Use the --provider option to choose which identity issuer and resource audience you will be using:
(the default is oauth3.org)
daplie --provider daplie.me domains:list
Why do you require a Credit Card and address information for daplie.me subdomains?
I have a lot of users, How can I "resell" my domain as Dynamic DNS?
In short, you just enter the purchase console, type the domain you want, and end with .daplie.me:
daplie domains:search
Oh, and you can also script the domain purchase directly:
daplie help domains:search
daplie domains:search --domainnames "example.daplie.me" --tip 1 -max-purchase-price 1
Note: although we don't check right now, excessive use of daplie.me domains will be reclaimed. If you have a large number of users you would like to supply domains for, email aj@daplie.com and I'll help you get your own domain set up for your users.
N/Adaplie domains:search
Oh, and you can also script the domain purchase directly:
daplie help domains:search
daplie domains:search --domainnames "example.daplie.me," --tip 1 -max-purchase-price 30
Before you can transfer a domain, there are a few things you need to do through the company you bought it from:
Note: Usually your DNS records will remain active with your current company for 2 weeks or more, but don't forget to transfer them over.
With the EPP code you can perform the transfer in this format:
daplie domains:search --domainnames 'DOMAIN1:EPP1,DOMAIN2:EPP2'
Example:
daplie domains:search --domainnames 'example.com:^%efea$#!0,example.net:afe187e7cc'
Example:
# Set the nameservers to Daplie defaults
daplie ns:set -n example.com --defaults
DO NOT DO THIS until you've copied the DNS records over (see the next section Manage DNS)
Or set custom nameservers like this:
# See the help
daplie help ns
daplie help ns:set
# See the current nameservers
daplie ns:list -n example.com
# Set vanity nameservers
daplie ns:set -n example.com --nameservers 'ns1.example.com,ns2.example.com'
daplie devices:set --device 'aws-west-1' --addresses '127.0.0.1,::1'
daplie devices:attach --device 'aws-west-1' -n 'example.com'
# Example setting up mailgun
daplie dns:set -n example.com --type MX --answer mxa.mailgun.org --ttl 3600
daplie dns:set -n example.com --type MX --answer mxb.mailgun.org --ttl 3600
daplie dns:set -n mail.example.com --type CNAME --answer mailgun.org --ttl 3600
Note: (ANAME and FWD records are not yet supported)
daplie devices:set --device 'rpi2' --addresses '127.0.0.1,::1'
daplie devices:attach --device 'rpi2' -n 'example.com'
daplie devices:token --device 'rpi2'
Now schedule cron with a script to check your IP address every 5 minutes or so
and then run curl with the url+token if the IP has changed.
Note: (A more comprehensive devices:update method will be implemented soon)
Many of the popular free DNS services are blocked by corporate, government, and school firewalls because of abuse from non-paying anonymous users.
In order to ensure that our service remains available to all of our users we require a valid credit card and physical address as a method of deterring abusive and/or malicious users.
You could offer your subdomains to your users in the same way that we offer daplie.me subdomains
for our users.
Right now that's a manual process. If you're interested contact aj@daplie.com.
More often than not, the company that you pay for your domain will set your nameservers
automatically to promote their brand, something like: ns1.domainregistrar.com, ns2.domainregistrar.com.
Vanity Nameservers promote your brand instead. So if you own example.com you would want the nameservers
ns1.example.com, ns2.example.com, etc.
Right now Daplie Domains uses generically branded nameservers, but we plan to move to completely using Vanity Nameservers before our public launch.
To play with Vanity Nameservers (WARNING: you may experience DNS resolution issues while we are still in development) you can set the nameserver glue records for your domain to us even today:
daplie glue:set -n example.com --defaults
daplie ns:set -n example.com --nameservers 'ns1.example.com,ns2.example.com'
You can, of course, also use your own nameservers too:
Example:
daplie glue:set -n ns1.example.com --address 127.0.0.1
daplie glue:set -n ns2.example.com --address 127.0.0.2
daplie ns:set -n example.com --nameservers 'ns1.example.com,ns2.example.com'

daplie-tools is developed by AJ ONeal.
This is an Alpha, so we really just bump the build version.
When it goes into RC is when we'll try to keep all of the command flags the same so that scripts you build won't break.
The format is: v<major.minor.patch>-<class>+<build>
