famedly.dns.powerdns-account ansible role

This role can be used for configuring powerdns accounts in powerdns-admin, setting description, contact and mail contact on an account, enabling you to automatically create empty accounts in powerdns-admin which can be used with powerdns.

Usage

An example is given below for a list of dicts in a variable called accounts:

- include_role:
    name: powerdns-account
  vars:
    powerdns_account_slug: "{{ account.slug }}"
    powerdns_account_description: "{{ account.description }}"
    powerdns_account_contact_person: "{{ account.contact_person }}"
    powerdns_account_contact_email: "{{ account.contact_email }}"
    # Database configuration
    powerdns_account_database_type: postgres
    powerdns_account_database_user: pdns-admin
    powerdns_account_database_password: dsjfaoiwnafvuawqidöq
    powerdns_account_database_name: pdns-admin
    powerdns_account_database_host: 127.0.0.1
  loop: "{{ accounts }}"
  loop_control:
    loop_var: account
    label: "{{ acount.slug }}"

The accounts variable could be populated by data sources like LDAP, other databases or arbitrary API calls returning this structure, enabling automated acount management in powerdns-admin.

Planned features

• User management: users can be associated with accounts, but given that only users who have logged in atleast once can be used, this is not yet implemented.

• Allow deletion of an account if all zones of the account have been removed, optionally force deletion of the account (leaving orphan zones in powerdns behind).
