vagrant-dns-updater

Introduction

vagrant-dns-updater allows you to automatically configure a subdomain with the ip of your vagrant instance using your registrar API.

Important

• This plugin is currently only compatible with Linux guests.
• Only OVH registrar is supported for the moment.

Installation

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-dns-updater

Usage

Configuration example for OVH:

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
    # for the moment only "ovh" is supported
    config.dnsupdater.registrar = "ovh"

    # API credentials, specific to OVH
    # for more information read the OVH section below
    config.dnsupdater.appkey = "XXXXXXXX"
    config.dnsupdater.appsecret = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
    config.dnsupdater.consumerkey = "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

    # domain settings, test.mydomain.com in our example
    config.dnsupdater.zone = "mydomain.com"
    config.dnsupdater.subdomain = "test"

    # the network interface on which retreive the ip
    config.dnsupdater.interface = "eth2"

    # ttl is optional, default value is set to 60 seconds
    config.dnsupdater.ttl = "120"
end

Registrars

OVH

First you need an appkey and an appsecret which can be obtained here.

You will also need a consumerkey, you can get it using the ovh-consumer-key command provided by this plugin:

vagrant ovh-consumer-key <appkey>

This command will display a consumerkey and a validationUrl, the consumerkey need a validation before use, this can be done by following the validationUrl and entering your credentials.

Finally you can add the following parameters to your Vagrantfile.

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|
    config.dnsupdater.registrar = "ovh"
    config.dnsupdater.appkey = "XXXXXXXX"
    config.dnsupdater.appsecret = "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
    config.dnsupdater.consumerkey = "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"
    config.dnsupdater.zone = "mydomain.com"
    config.dnsupdater.subdomain = "test"
    config.dnsupdater.interface = "eth2"
end

ToDo

• Improve error handling.
• Support additional registrars : gandi, ultradns, ...
• Write tests.
