DNS Config
General purpose tool for outputting or writing configuration files from DNS TXT or SRV entries.
It's goal is to allow a server image to be configured entirely from DNS data which you would have to run and create anyway in order for its network services to work.
Usage
dns-config assumes that the local hostname is not reliable by default. When
run it will automatically discover the local IP addresses and attempt to
reverse resolve them all against the default DNS server.
Valid hostnames are then queried recursively until a TXT record is found which includes the given configuration key. SRV records are also supported.
Example:
host.example.com $ dns-config key
value
Returns a TXT record found under the following domains by priority:
key.host.example.com
key.example.com
key.com
The depth of the search can be limited by use of command --required-suffix commandline
option e.g. dns-config --required-suffix example.com would limit the search to
go no further then key.example.com.
Multiple output formats are supported. The most powerful is json which allows
key queries to fed directly into a templating engine for writing more
sophisticated config files.
More Help
See the examples folder for a dockerfile and dnsmasq configuration which
demonstrates some of the uses.
