Installing octoDNS on EndeavourOS Latest

octoDNS is a Python-based tool for managing DNS across multiple providers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing and setting up octoDNS on EndeavourOS Latest.

Step 1: Install Python and Git

Before installing octoDNS, you need to ensure that your system has Python and Git installed.

You can confirm if Python and Git are installed by running the following commands in your terminal:

python --version
git --version

If Python and Git are installed, you will see the version numbers. Otherwise, you can install them by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S python git

Step 2: Clone the octoDNS repository

Next, you need to clone the octoDNS repository from GitHub. You can do this by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/github/octodns.git

This will create a new directory named octodns in your current working directory.

Step 3: Install octoDNS

Next, you need to install octoDNS and its dependencies. You can do this by running the following commands:

cd octodns
pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install

This will install all necessary dependencies and set up octoDNS on your system.

Step 4: Configure octoDNS

After installing octoDNS, you need to configure it to work with your DNS providers. You can do this by creating a configuration file in YAML format.

Here is an example configuration file:

---
providers:
  my_provider:
    class: my_provider_class
    # Provider-specific configuration options go here
    api_key: API_KEY

zones:
  example.com.:
    sources:
      - my_provider
    targets:
      - my_provider

This configuration file specifies a DNS provider named my_provider and a zone named example.com. that uses my_provider as the source and target.

You can modify this file to suit your needs and save it to a location on your system.

Step 5: Use octoDNS

Once you have configured octoDNS, you can use it to manage your DNS. You can run the following command to check the integrity of your configuration file:

octodns-sync check config.yaml

If there are no errors, you can sync your DNS by running the following command:

octodns-sync sync config.yaml

This will synchronize your DNS across all configured providers and zones.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured octoDNS on EndeavourOS Latest.
