DNSimple exporter
I use DNSimple and wanted to enable some of my domains for CloudFlare. This involves replicating your DNS zone on CloudFlare's servers.
Which, y'know, is fine - CloudFlare accept BIND-style zone files. So I'll just go to DNSimple and press Expor...oh.
This is a very very hacky script that reads from DNSimple using the dnsimple-ruby RubyGem, then writes out a BIND-format zone file good enough for export.
Known bugs
Zone serial number is unique to the hour. This shouldn't present a problem as far as I know for a CloudFlare import, but for any other purposes you might need to edit it. Format is YYYYMMDDHH.
Setting up
I'll assume you have Ruby and RubyGems already.
Install the dnsimple-ruby gem -
gem install dnsimple-ruby
You might need to do this as the superuser if you're not using RVM -
sudo gem install dnsimple-ruby
Copy auth.config.sample to auth.config and edit it with your DNSimple credentials.
Edit .env or ~/.dnsimple-ruby and change the following -
MAIN_NS
This is the nameserver specified in the SOA header. Use one of the nameservers CloudFlare ask you to use for your domain. Doesn't matter which.
SOA_EMAIL_AS_FQDN
This is your email address in FQDN format. For example, dave@dave.io becomes dave.dave.io
NS_RECORDS
These are the nameservers for your domain - DNSimple doesn't give any access to them as they're currently set. Ruby array format, look it up if you can't work it out.
DEFAULT_TTL
Time to live for various records, including SOA. Don't fiddle with this if you don't know what it means.
USERNAME and PASSWORD
Running the export
ruby dnsimple-export.rb yourdomain.tld
Replace yourdomain.tld with the domain to export. Results go to STDOUT, so you can pipe it or redirect to a file if you want.
