Support PowerDNS Provider

[jk]

Hi @james, I signed out and in but still can't do anything.

Hello @jk
That is rather odd.
I will forward this to the team to have a look.

[jk]

@james Did you get any further with this? Thank you.

[james]

Hello @jk
Sorry, I did not get to it yet.

[jk]

@james Any updates? Or do you know of a good way I can test it myself?

Also, remember that you have the full patch here in message #11.

Hello @jk and @nj
I have started working on the PowerDNS implementation for Cloudron.
If you two could answer me some question, that would be great.

I configured a powerdns installation a fresh server instance and noticed some things.
I noticed that the service pdns comes with its own API which works.
But after some research I noticed that most people use poweradmin.
acme.sh also has the implementation for poweradmin https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/blob/master/dnsapi/dns_poweradmin.sh.
So could you two maybe tell me how you are using PowerDNS?

Hi @james, that's great news!

Personally I don't use power admin. Since it adds a whole layer on top of PowerDNS I would consider it really as a separate thing. It also brings quite a few extra dependencies such as a separate database and so on. Ik would say that's more interesting as an app instead.

For web-based management I use https://github.com/james-stevens/powerdns-webui, which directly uses the PowerDNS API (and is not really relevant here).

Anyway, adding support for PowerAdmin would not help for my use case.

Hello @jk
So you are using the powerdns API directly?
For example:

http://127.0.0.1/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/master.cloudron

https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/http-api/zone.html#get--servers-server_id-zones-zone_id
Correct?

[jk]

Yes, that's correct.
