Supports IPv6 and IPv4.\n\n## Super Super Important\n\nAs you will see below - this is a slow, very painful process. Constellix's API sucks. If you can use any other DNS hosting service - do it - don't waste your time here. If you are stuck with constellix (like we are) and you find this script useful - great. Please contact constellix and ask them to take their API seriously.\n\n## Docker\nYou can run this inside a docker container:\n```bash\n$ docker run --rm -it -e CONSTELLIX_APISECRET=690dfc33-e457-401e-a1c4-d4a2f1b870b7 -e CONSTELLIX_APIKEY=3a4ffdf9-71e4-4458-94b6-14fd940b81bf ghcr.io/aperim/constellix-hostip/constellix-hostip:latest -vvv example.com\n```\n\n## Environment\nYou must set your consetllix token details in two environment variables.\n```bash\nexport CONSTELLIX_APISECRET=690dfc33-e457-401e-a1c4-d4a2f1b870b7 #Use your secret not this one\nexport CONSTELLIX_APIKEY=3a4ffdf9-71e4-4458-94b6-14fd940b81bf #Use your key not this one\n```\n\n## Setting records\n```bash\npython3 ./constellix/host.py --ipv4 203.0.113.1 --ipv6 2001:0db8:0000:0025:0000:0000:0000:0000 example.com\n```\nThe above would set the following records:\n`203.0.113.1 A example.com.`\n\n`2001:0db8:0000:0025:0000:0000:0000:0000 AAAA example.com.`\n\n`1.113.0.203.in-addr.arpa. PTR example.com.`\n\n`0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.5.2.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa PTR example.com.`\n\n## Deleting Records\n```bash\npython3 ./constellix/host.py example.com\n```\nWill delete and A, AAAA and PTR records that are set for example.com\n\n## Command Line Arguments\n```text\nusage: host.py [-h] [-4 IPV4] [-6 IPV6] [-v] domain\n\npositional arguments:\n domain The domain name\n\noptional arguments:\n -h, --help show this help message and exit\n -4 IPV4, --ipv4 IPV4 The IPv4 address for the domain\n -6 IPV6, --ipv6 IPV6 The IPv6 address for the domain\n -v, --verbose (the more v's the more verbose)\n```\n\n## Assumptions\nForward and reverse records can only be set for domains in your account.\n\n## Caveats\nThis is a slow process.\nConstellix doesn't have any way to find a domain record with a simple search, so we have to look for parts of the domain until we find a match - for IPv6 records - this takes a lot of API requests.\n\n### Speed\n\nFurther hindering the process is authentication errors with Constellix's API. Over 50% of valid API requests fail against the API with a `401` error. Once Constellix fix this - it will double the speed of these updates.\nConstellix's API now take 20+ seconds to respond to most requests. Expect updating the forward and reverse records for one domain to take well in excess of 5½ minutes (sometimes up to 20).\n\n*NOTE* Constellix have still note resolved this issue properly as at Dec 2022\n\n## Examples\n\n#### Output\n\n```text\n$ ./constellix/host.py -vvv --ipv6 2001:0db8:0000:0025:0000:0000:0000:0000 --ipv4 203.0.113.1 demo.example.com\n2020-09-09 01:38:59 INFO Getting details
