This appears to be the only one. Manual audit with (zsh):

yielded all the site-based URLs and I eye-compared them to the names of

# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
## 1. Get the binaries
|
|
|
|
You can either download the latest [github release](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/releases), or build from the go source:
|
|
|
|
`go get github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol`
|
|
|
|
## 2. Create files
|
|
|
|
The first file you will need is a javascript file to describe your domains.
|
|
Individual providers will vary slightly. See [the provider docs]({{site.github.url}}/provider-list) for specifics.
|
|
For this example we will use a single "BIND" provider that will generate zone files on our local file system.
|
|
The default name is `dnsconfig.js`:
|
|
|
|
{% highlight js %}
|
|
var registrar = NewRegistrar("none","NONE"); // no registrar
|
|
var bind = NewDnsProvider("bind","BIND");
|
|
|
|
D("example.com", registrar, DnsProvider(bind),
|
|
A("@", "1.2.3.4")
|
|
);
|
|
{%endhighlight%}
|
|
|
|
You may modify this file to match your particular providers and domains. See [the javascript docs]({{site.github.url}}/js) and [the provider docs]({{site.github.url}}/provider-list) for more details. If you are using other providers, you will likely need to make a `creds.json` file with api tokens and other account information.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Run `dnscontrol preview`
|
|
|
|
This will print out a list of "corrections" that need to be performed. It will not actually make any changes.
|
|
|
|
## 4. Run `dnscontrol push`
|
|
|
|
This will actually generate `zones/example.com.zone` for you. The bind provider is more configurable, and you can read more information [here.]({{site.github.url}}/providers/bind)
|
|
|
|
# Migrate more zones
|
|
|
|
Once you have the system working for a test zone, migrate other
|
|
zones. You can manually create the `D()` statements, or you can
|
|
generate them automatically using the
|
|
[convertzone](https://github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol/blob/master/misc/convertzone/README.md)
|
|
utility that is included in the DNSControl repo (it converts
|
|
BIND-style zone files to DNSControl's language). To make sure the
|
|
migration is correct, use `dnscontrol preview` and make sure it
|
|
sees no differences.
|
|
[Migrating]({{site.github.url}}/migrating) doc gives more detailed advice.
