SoftLayer DNS Provider
NOTE: This provider is currently has no maintainer. We are looking for a volunteer. If this provider breaks it may be disabled or removed if it can not be easily fixed.
Configuration
To authenticate with SoftLayer requires at least a username and api_key for authentication. It can also optionally take a timeout and endpoint_url parameter however these are optional and will use standard defaults if not provided.
These can be supplied in the creds.json file:
{
"softlayer": {
"username": "myusername",
"api_key": "mysecretapikey"
}
}
To maintain compatibility with existing softlayer CLI services these can also be provided by the SL_USERNAME and SL_API_KEY environment variables or specified in the ~/.softlayer, but this is discouraged. More information about these methods can be found at the softlayer-go library documentation.
Usage
Use this provider like any other DNS Provider:
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none","NONE"); // no registrar
var SOFTLAYER = NewDnsProvider("softlayer", "SOFTLAYER");
D("example.tld", registrary, DnsProvider(SOFTLAYER),
A("test","1.2.3.4")
);
Metadata
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to SoftLayer dns. For compatibility with the pre-generated NAMESERVER fields it's recommended to set the NS TTL to 86400 such as:
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(SOFTLAYER),
NAMESERVER_TTL(86400),
A("test","1.2.3.4")
);
