dnsify - Simplify your dns config
A human friendly format for defining and documenting and your DNS config and a tool for verifying and applying it to your friendly dns service provider.
e.g tableflip.io.dns.md
## Origin: tableflip.io
name | type | data
-----------|------|---------------
@ www blog | A | 178.62.82.182
@ | MX | mx-{1,3}.rightbox.com:10
Why
- Documentation is the config.
- Reduce the repetition (looking at you zonefiles, OMG)
- Prefer readability over opaque terseness (
tinydns
, I <3 you, but why you make me RTFM every time?)
What
- Convert a Markdown table to an "Abstract Zone File" object
- Merge multiple tables into one zone object
- Understand shell style brace expansions
{1,2}.foo.com
=>1.foo.com 2.foo.com
- Output a zonefile or JSON
Usage
