Sync DNS records stored in a flat file format to your DNS provider. Cloudflare support currently provided.
$ pip install namesync
Create a file with the name of your domain:
$ touch example.com
Or, if you have existing records, you can export them:
$ namesync --get example.com
Enter one record per line with the following format:
<record-type> <name> <value> <ttl:optional>
For example:
A * 10.10.10.10 # You can even use comments A . 10.10.10.10 # . references the domain itself, example.com A test 10.10.10.11 A example 10.10.10.12 86400 CNAME mail ghs.googlehosted.com MX . aspmx.l.google.com
MX records allow you to specify a priority:
MX <name> <value> <priority:optional> <ttl:optional>
Like this:
MX . alt1.aspmx.l.google.com 20 MX . aspmx3.googlemail.com 30 86400
If the value contains spaces, quote it:
TXT . "v=spf1 a include:amazonses.com include:_spf.google.com ~all"
Then sync your records:
$ namesync example.com
You will be given a chance to review your changes before they are synced:
The following changes will be made: ADD A * 10.10.10.10 ADD A example 10.10.10.12 86400 ADD A test 10.10.10.11 ADD CNAME mail ghs.googlehosted.com ADD MX . aspmx.l.google.com UPDATE A . 10.10.10.10 REMOVE A old 10.10.10.13 Do you want to continue? [y/N]
