Google Cloud DNS Provider

Configuration

For Google cloud authentication, DNSControl requires a JSON 'Service Account Key' for your project. Newlines in the private key need to be replaced with \n.Copy the full JSON object into your creds.json like so:

{% highlight json %} { "gcloud": { "type": "service_account", "project_id": "mydnsproject", "private_key_id": "a05483aa208364c56716b384efff33c0574d365b", "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvAIBADL2dhlY7YZbx7tpsfksOX\nih0DbxhiQ==\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n", "client_email": "dnscontrolacct@mydnsproject.iam.gserviceaccount.com", "client_id": "107996619231234567750", "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token", "auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs", "client_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/robot/v1/metadata/x509/dnscontrolsdfsdfsdf%40craigdnstest.iam.gserviceaccount.com", "name_server_set" : "optional_name_server_set_name (contact your TAM)" } } {% endhighlight %}

Note: The project_id, private_key, and client_email, are the only fields that are strictly required, but it is sometimes easier to just paste the entire json object in. Either way is fine. name_server_set is optional and requires special permission from your TAM at Google in order to setup (See Name server sets below)

See the Activation section for some tips on obtaining these credentials.

Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to google cloud dns.

Usage

Use this provider like any other DNS Provider:

{% highlight js %} var REG_NAMECOM = NewRegistrar("name.com","NAMEDOTCOM"); var GCLOUD = NewDnsProvider("gcloud", "GCLOUD");

D("example.tld", REG_NAMECOM, DnsProvider(GCLOUD), A("test","1.2.3.4") ); {%endhighlight%}

Activation

  1. Go to your app-engine console and select the appropriate project.

  2. Go to "API Manager > Credentials", and create a new "Service Account Key"

    New Service Account
  3. Choose an existing user, or create a new one. The user requires the "DNS Administrator" role.

  4. Download the JSON key and copy it into your creds.json under the name of your gcloud provider.

New domains

If a domain does not exist in your Google Cloud DNS account, DNSControl will not automatically add it with the push command. You'll need to do that via the control panel manually or via the create-domains command.

Name server sets

This optional feature lets you pin domains to a set of GCLOUD name servers. The nameServerSet field is exposed in their API but there is currently no facility for creating a name server set. You need special permission from your technical account manager at Google and they will enable it on your account, responding with a list of names to use in the name_server_set field above.

name_server_set only applies on create-domains at the moment. Additional work needs to be done to support it during push
