DNSControl is an open-source tool for managing DNS records across different providers. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DNSControl on Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:

• Fedora Server Latest installed on your machine.
• A user account with administrative privileges.

Step 1: Install Go

DNSControl requires Go to run. You can check if Go is already installed by running the following command:

$ go version

If Go is not installed, you can install it using the following command:

$ sudo dnf install golang

Step 2: Install DNSControl

You can install DNSControl using the following command:

$ go get -u github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol

This command will download the latest version of DNSControl and install it on your system.

Step 3: Check DNSControl Installation

To check if DNSControl is installed correctly, run the following command:

$ dnscontrol version

This command will display the current version of DNSControl installed on your system.

Step 4: Configure DNSControl

Next, you need to configure DNSControl with your DNS providers. You can do this by creating a DNSControl configuration file and setting the required parameters.

Here is an example of a DNSControl configuration file:

providers:
  cloudflare:
    apikey: <your Cloudflare API key>
    email: <your Cloudflare email>
  digitalocean:
    token: <your DigitalOcean access token>

registrar:
  namecheap:
    username: <your Namecheap username>
    apiuser: <your Namecheap API user>
    apipassword: <your Namecheap API key password>
    sandbox: false

zones:
  example.com:
    cloudflare:
      zoneid: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    digitalocean:
      zoneid: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

Replace the placeholders with the actual values for your DNS providers.

Step 5: Run DNSControl

Once you have configured DNSControl, you can run it using the following command:

$ dnscontrol preview

This command will show the changes that DNSControl will make to your DNS records. To apply the changes, run the following command:

$ dnscontrol push

This command will push the changes to your DNS providers.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed DNSControl on Fedora Server Latest and configured it with your DNS providers. Now you can manage your DNS records easily and efficiently with DNSControl.
