DNSSEC Automation Project

This project automates DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) configuration and management using a Flask web application and Paramiko for SSH connections to the DNS server.

Set Up Python Environment

To set up the Python environment for this project:

1. Open the terminal in VS Code:

   Press Ctrl + ` or navigate to Terminal > New Terminal.

2. Create a virtual environment in the project directory:

   python3 -m venv .venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

   3.1 On Windows:

   .venv\Scripts\activate

   3.2 On macOS and Linux:

   source .venv/bin/activate

4. After activation, you should see (.venv) in your terminal prompt, indicating that the virtual environment is active.

Install Dependencies

Once the virtual environment is activated, install all the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file.

pip install -r requirements.txt

This will install all required packages for the project.

Configure VS Code

To ensure that VS Code uses the correct Python interpreter from your virtual environment:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + P (or Cmd + Shift + P on macOS) to open the Command Palette.

2. Type and select Python: Select Interpreter.

3. Choose the interpreter from the .venv folder. It will be something like:

   ./.venv/bin/python

Run the Flask Application

Once the virtual environment is activated and all dependencies are installed, you can run the Flask application.

Run via Terminal:

flask run

The app will be available at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.
