DNS and IP Management

What needs to be done next

• explain/advertise what DNS and IP Management (DIM) does
• rework internal documentation and publish
• automate .rpm and .deb creation for dim-client, ndcli, pdns-output and dim
• rework internal testcases and add/publish
• port internal automated testing to travis or something else
• rethink graphical interface of DIM
• publish internal bugs and feature requests to github issue tracker
• evaluate if there is interest for our DIM driven DHCP management

Running dim & pdns-output in docker

The setup needs a mysql database for dim. The pdns databases written by pdns-output must be initialized with the schema in ./dim/pdns.sql (these databases are required when running ndcli create output)

Configure

Set the dim mysql database details:

• for dim edit dimcfg/dim.cfg key SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI
• for pdns-output edit dimcfg/pdns-output.properties to set the db. properties

Run

Start dim

docker build -t dim . && docker run --name dim -d -v `pwd`/dimcfg:/etc/dim:ro dim

Start pdns-output

docker build -t dim-pdnsoutput -f Dockerfile-pdnsoutput . && docker run --name dim-pdnsoutput -v `pwd`/dimcfg:/etc/dim:ro -d dim-pdnsoutput

To use ndcli, exec into the dim docker and login with user admin (any password is fine)

docker exec -ti dim bash
$ ndcli login -u admin -p admin
