Install with ansible-galaxy collection install community.dns:==2.8.3
collections: - name: community.dns version: 2.8.3
Creates and deletes single DNS records in Hosttech DNS service.
If you do not want to add/remove values, but replace values, you will be interested in modifying a B(record set) and not a single record. This is in particular important when working with C(CNAME) and C(SOA) records. Use the M(community.dns.hosttech_dns_record_set) module for working with record sets.
Records are matched by prefix / record name and value.
This module replaces C(hosttech_dns_record) from community.dns before 2.0.0.
- name: Add a new.foo.com A record community.dns.hosttech_dns_record: state: present zone: foo.com record: new.foo.com type: A ttl: 7200 value: 1.1.1.1 hosttech_token: access_token
- name: Remove a new.foo.com A record community.dns.hosttech_dns_record: state: absent zone_name: foo.com record: new.foo.com type: A ttl: 7200 value: 2.2.2.2 hosttech_token: access_token
ttl: default: 3600 description: - The TTL to give the new record, in seconds. - This is not used for record deletion. type: int type: choices: - A - AAAA - CAA - CNAME - MX - NS - PTR - SPF - SRV - TXT description: - The type of DNS record to create or delete. required: true type: str state: choices: - present - absent description: - Specifies the state of the resource record. required: true type: str value: description: - The new value when creating a DNS record. - When deleting a record all values for the record must be specified or it will not be deleted. required: true type: str prefix: description: - The prefix of the DNS record. - This is the part of O(record) before O(zone_name). For example, if the record to be modified is C(www.example.com) for the zone C(example.com), the prefix is V(www). If the record in this example would be C(example.com), the prefix would be V('') (empty string). - Exactly one of O(record) and O(prefix) must be specified. type: str record: description: - The full DNS record to create or delete. - Exactly one of O(record) and O(prefix) must be specified. type: str zone_id: description: - The ID of the DNS zone to modify. - Exactly one of O(zone_name) and O(zone_id) must be specified. type: int zone_name: aliases: - zone description: - The DNS zone to modify. - Exactly one of O(zone_name) and O(zone_id) must be specified. type: str hosttech_token: aliases: - api_token description: - The password for the Hosttech API user. - Mutually exclusive with O(hosttech_username) and O(hosttech_password). - Since community.dns 1.2.0, the alias O(ignore:api_token) can be used. type: str version_added: 0.2.0 version_added_collection: community.dns hosttech_password: description: - The password for the Hosttech API user. - If provided, O(hosttech_username) must also be provided. - Mutually exclusive with O(hosttech_token). type: str hosttech_username: description: - The username for the Hosttech API user. - If provided, O(hosttech_password) must also be provided. - Mutually exclusive with O(hosttech_token). type: str txt_transformation: choices: - api - quoted - unquoted default: unquoted description: - Determines how TXT entry values are converted between the API and this module's input and output. - The value V(api) means that values are returned from this module as they are returned from the API, and pushed to the API as they have been passed to this module. For idempotency checks, the input string will be compared to the strings returned by the API. The API might automatically transform some values, like splitting long values or adding quotes, which can cause problems with idempotency. - The value V(unquoted) automatically transforms values so that you can pass in unquoted values, and the module will return unquoted values. If you pass in quoted values, they will be double-quoted. - The value V(quoted) automatically transforms values so that you must use quoting for values that contain spaces, characters such as quotation marks and backslashes, and that are longer than 255 bytes. It also makes sure to return values from the API in a normalized encoding. - The default value, V(unquoted), ensures that you can work with values without having to care about how to correctly quote for DNS. Most users should use one of V(unquoted) or V(quoted), but not V(api). - B(Note:) the conversion code assumes UTF-8 encoding for values. If you need another encoding use O(txt_transformation=api) and handle the encoding yourself. type: str txt_character_encoding: choices: - decimal - octal description: - Whether to treat numeric escape sequences (V(\\xyz)) as octal or decimal numbers. This is only used when O(txt_transformation=quoted). - The current default is V(octal) which is deprecated. It will change to V(decimal) in community.dns 3.0.0. The value V(decimal) is compatible to L(RFC 1035, https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1035.txt). type: str version_added: 2.5.0 version_added_collection: community.dns
zone_id: description: The ID of the zone. returned: success sample: 23 type: int
