dnslink-route53

Used to deploy dnslink txt records to AWS Route53

Can be used as a library, or as a cli

Install

• cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/RTradeLTd/dnslink-route53
• make install

Usage - CLI

To install run make install

By default it uses ENV authentication which expects the following environment variables to be set:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
• Optinonally AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN

If your AWS account needs a security token, you have to use the env auth method.

You can provide a region if you want, but it looks like AWS Route53 doesn't require a specific region, so it should be fine to leave the default at us-east-1. If you want to specify a different region use the -region flag.

You must provide the zone id of your hosted zone through the -zone.id flag

Example invocation using env auth:

$ dlink53 -record.name _dnslink.foo.bar -record.value dnslink=/ipns/foo/bar -zone.id <zone-ID>

successfully deployed dnslink entry to route53
