Setup

PowerDNS Version Support:

PowerDNS-Admin supports PowerDNS autoritative server versions 3.4.2 and higher.

pdns Service

I assume that you have already installed powerdns service. Make sure that your /etc/pdns/pdns.conf has these contents

PowerDNS 4.0.0 and later

api=yes
api-key=your-powerdns-api-key
webserver=yes

PowerDNS before 4.0.0

experimental-json-interface=yes
experimental-api-key=your-powerdns-api-key
webserver=yes

This will enable API access in PowerDNS so PowerDNS-Admin can intergrate with PowerDNS.

Create Database

We will create a database which used by this web application. Please note that this database is difference from pdns database itself.

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE powerdnsadmin;

MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON powerdnsadmin.* TO powerdnsadmin@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';

PowerDNS-Admin

In this installation guide, I am using CentOS 7 and run my python stuffs with virtualenv. If you don't have it, lets install it:

$ sudo yum install python-pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv

In your python web app directory, create a flask directory via virtualenv

$ virtualenv flask

Enable virtualenv and install python 3rd libraries

$ source ./flask/bin/activate
(flask)$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Web application configuration is stored in config.py file. Let's clone it from config_template.py file and then edit it

(flask)$ cp config_template.py config.py 
(flask)$ vim config.py

Create database after having proper configs

(flask)% ./create_db.py

Run the application and enjoy!

(flask)$ ./run.py
