IMPORTANT NOTE

As i'm not using PowerDNS anymore i will not activly work on the library. Only merging your PR's. If anyone wants to add the library to the official Ansible module library feel free to do so. Just please add a note about me as the original author and a link to this repo :-)

Usage

Zones

Ensure zone is present

- powerdns_zone:
    name: zone01.internal.example.com.
    nameservers:
    - ns-01.example.com.
    - ns-02.example.com.
    kind: master
    state: present
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 8081
    pdns_api_key: topsecret

Ensure zone is absent

- powerdns_zone:
    name: zone02.internal.example.com
    state: absent
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 8081
    pdns_api_key: topsecret

Records

Ensure A record

- powerdns_record:
    name: host01.zone01.internal.example.com.
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: A
    content: 192.168.1.234
    ttl: 1440
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 443
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: https

Absent all A record: this will delete all A record, even you specified ip in content

- powerdns_record:
    name: host01.zone01.internal.example.com.
    state: absent
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: A
    content: 192.168.1.234
    ttl: 1440
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 443
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: https

Absent particular A record: this will remove only one A record for specific ip

- powerdns_record:
    name: host01.zone01.internal.example.com.
    state: absent
    exclusive: false
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: A
    content: 192.168.1.234
    ttl: 1440
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 443
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: https

Ensure AAAA record

- powerdns_record:
    name: host01.zone01.internal.example.com.
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: AAAA
    content: 2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652
    ttl: 1440
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 8443
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: https

Do not verify SSL certificate (this is a security risk)

- powerdns_record:
    name: host01.zone01.internal.example.com.
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: AAAA
    content: 2001:cdba:0000:0000:0000:0000:3257:9652
    ttl: 1440
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 8443
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: https
    strict_ssl_checking: false

Ensure CNAME record

- powerdns_record:
    name: database.zone01.internal.example.com.
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: CNAME
    content: host01.zone01.internal.example.com
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 80
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: http

Ensure multiple MX records

- powerdns_record:
    name: zone01.internal.example.com.
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: MX
    exclusive: no
    content: "{{ item }}"
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 80
    pdns_api_key: topsecret
    pdns_prot: http
  loop:
    - 10 mx1.zone01.internal.example.com
    - 10 mx2.zone01.internal.example.com

Use HTTP Basic Auth instead of API Key

- powerdns_record:
    name: database.zone01.internal.example.com.
    zone: zone01.internal.example.com
    type: CNAME
    content: host01.zone01.internal.example.com
    pdns_host: powerdns.example.com
    pdns_port: 80
    pdns_api_username: myuser
    pdns_api_password: mytopsecretpassword
    pdns_prot: http

pdns_api_key takes preference if both pdns_api_key and pdns_api_username/pdns_api_password are supplied.

Note the trailing '.' following most records, if not present will result in the error "Domain record is not canonical".
