In this tutorial, we will learn how to install octoDNS on OpenBSD. OctoDNS is a tool used for managing DNS across multiple providers.
Before we begin, ensure that you have a running OpenBSD server with sudo privileges. If you don't have sudo privileges, you can execute these commands logged in as the root user.
OctoDNS requires Python and pip in order to work. To install both, run the following command:
$ doas pkg_add python pip
Once Python and pip are installed, we can install octoDNS. We will use pip to install the octoDNS package. Run the following command:
$ sudo pip install octodns
To verify the installation, run the following command:
$ octodns --help
If the installation was successful, this command will display the help message for octoDNS.
In this tutorial, we learned how to install octoDNS on OpenBSD. OctoDNS is a very useful tool for managing DNS across multiple providers, and we hope that this tutorial has been helpful in getting started with it.
