dns

The DNS Hook

This hook will help to automate additional tasks with your DNS server. 

You can integrate your Third-party DNS cluster into Eenos with the help of this hook function.

Function name: DNS

Base Directory:  /var/eenos/hooks/dns

Pre-Hooks  Location 

Please place all your DNS pre-hook scrips in   /var/eenos/hooks/dns/pre/

Post Hooks Location 

Please put your post dns hooks scripts in   /var/eenos/hooks/dns/post/

All pre-hook and post-hook scripts need execute permission to perform the requested operations.

Supported Actions

 The dns hooks will support CREATE, UPDATE, and DELETE actions. These actions will be executed based on the hook operation.

CREATE

 This action will be given if a dns zone is created in the server.

UPDATE

This action will be given if a DNS zone file is updated in the server

DELETE

This action will be given if the dns zone is deleted from the server.

Hook Inputs

This hook will be provided with the following inputs:

• data:  A base64 encoded JSON data of the related actions,  This is compulsory.
• action:  The action code  CREATE, UPDATE or DELETE, This is a compulsory
• panel: The control panel that performs the hooks, wap. rapp or uapp, This is a compulsory
• domain: The domain name performing the hooks. It is optional
• user:  The  Eenos user name associated with. It is optional

data

 The data will be given as a base64 encoded Json data string. This data contains all the details of the Zone data which you can find in /var/eenos/userdata/USER/dns/domain.name  file

The DELETE Action will be provided with an empty json data sting as there is no need to provide dns record details during the delete action

Example Pre/Post Hooks Scripts in Python

You can use the following sample python script to create a DNS Cluster update post of pre-action hook scripts.
