PowerDNS Proxy

PowerDNS Proxy is a Python script that acts as a proxy between your PowerDNS server and external DNS providers, such as Hetzner and OVH. It allows you to automatically synchronize DNS records between your PowerDNS server and the supported external DNS providers. Mainly aimed at proxying RDNS/PTR records.

Features

Synchronize DNS records between PowerDNS and supported external DNS providers.
Automatically track changes in PowerDNS zones and update corresponding records in external DNS providers.
Supports multiple backend providers, including Hetzner and OVH.

Installation

Install the required Python dependencies:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Configure the PowerDNS Proxy by editing the config.ini file:

Replace values x with the appropriate values for your PowerDNS server and backend providers. You can also change the synchronization frequency (in seconds) by modifying the frequency parameter. Backend servers will only get called on zone change.

Define the zones and their corresponding backend providers in the zones.ini file:

[1.2.3.4.in-addr.arpa.]
backend = hetzner

[5.6.7.8.in-addr.arpa.]
backend = ovh

[2.4.6.8.in-addr.arpa.]
backend = hetzner

Each section in the zones.ini file corresponds to a zone in your PowerDNS server. The backend parameter specifies the backend provider to use for that zone (currently supporting hetzner and ovh).

Usage

Run the PowerDNS Proxy script using the following command:

python3 main.py

Supported Backends

Hetzner Robot

Supports creating, updating, and deleting DNS records using the Hetzner Robot API.
