pdns_api.sh

A simple DNS hook that lets letsencrypt.sh talk to the PowerDNS API.

Usage

Add the settings for your PowerDNS API to /etc/letsencrypt.sh/config, /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt.sh/config or a config file next to pdns_api.sh:

HOST=ns0.example.com
PORT=8081            # Optional. Defaults to 8081
KEY=secret           # API key
SERVER=localhost     # Optional. Server for the API to use, usually `localhost`
VERSION=1            # Optional. API version, 0 for anything under PowerDNS 4
WAIT=300             # Optional. Delay for when slaves are slow

Configure it as a DNS hook, by adding the following to your letsencrypt.sh config:

CHALLENGETYPE="dns-01"
HOOK="./pdns_api.sh"
HOOK_CHAIN="yes"

Nested zones and subdomains are supported. These zones should be detected automatically, but can be overridden by creating a file called zones.txt in /etc/letsencrypt.sh/, /usr/local/etc/letsencrypt.sh/ or next to pdns_api.sh with the zones:

test.example.domain.tld
example.domain.tld
test.domain.tld

These zones can be added in any order.
