# SoftLayer DNS Provider
|
|
|
|
NOTE: This provider is currently has no maintainer. We are looking for
|
|
a volunteer. If this provider breaks it may be disabled or removed if
|
|
it can not be easily fixed.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
To authenticate with SoftLayer requires at least a `username` and `api_key` for authentication. It can also optionally take a `timeout` and `endpoint_url` parameter however these are optional and will use standard defaults if not provided.
|
|
|
|
These can be supplied in the `creds.json` file:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"softlayer": {
|
|
"username": "myusername",
|
|
"api_key": "mysecretapikey"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To maintain compatibility with existing softlayer CLI services these can also be provided by the `SL_USERNAME` and `SL_API_KEY` environment variables or specified in the `~/.softlayer`, but this is discouraged. More information about these methods can be found at [the softlayer-go library documentation](https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-go#sessions).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
Use this provider like any other DNS Provider:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none","NONE"); // no registrar
|
|
var SOFTLAYER = NewDnsProvider("softlayer", "SOFTLAYER");
|
|
|
|
D("example.tld", registrary, DnsProvider(SOFTLAYER),
|
|
A("test","1.2.3.4")
|
|
);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Metadata
|
|
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to SoftLayer dns.
|
|
For compatibility with the pre-generated NAMESERVER fields it's recommended to set the NS TTL to 86400 such as:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(SOFTLAYER),
|
|
NAMESERVER_TTL(86400),
|
|
|
|
A("test","1.2.3.4")
|
|
);
|
|
```
