dnsgit :: Keep track of your DNS history using a Git repository
===============================================================
*Keeping track of your DNS record history is now as easy as running a
cron job.*
If you manage a couple of hundred domains which can be edited using a
web interface, it may come in handy to have history.
As OSSO, we use `PowerDNS `_ to keep track of
customer DNS records. Along with its SQL backend, it works rather well.
However, it lacks history/undo. That's where *dnsgit* comes in:
**On a daily basis, it runs AXFR queries on the nameserver and writes
the current state to a local Git repository. The state is
sorted/normalized, so only real changes are noticed/stored.**
Any undo operation still has to be performed manually, but at least
you'll know what to undo.
Example setup
-------------
.. code-block:: console
# install -T -o755 dnsgit /usr/local/bin/dnsgit
# mkdir /srv/dnsgit
# cd /srv/dnsgit
# git init; touch README.rst; git add README.rst; git commit -m Initial
# dnsgit update-all
Run that last one -- ``dnsgit update-all`` -- from a daily cron job.
This will initialize and update the local repository and keep track of
changes.
For instance, a change may look like this:
.. code-block:: console
# git show fb8c68e3512c36ad3aa90ed215ffc812c7fd0dc1
commit fb8c68e3512c36ad3aa90ed215ffc812c7fd0dc1
