# dnsmanagerd
`dnsmanagerd` is a DNS management micro-service enabling users to ask for a domain and handle their own DNS zones.
This software is based on [libipc][libipc] and uses [authd][authd] for authentication, authorization and user profile management.
`dnsmanagerd` stores data such as domains (and their owners), zone resource records and various *tokens*.
No SQL, the entire database is stored in plain files, thanks to [the DODB database library][dodb].
The [netlibre service][netlibre] is the first to use `dnsmanagerd` in a real-life deployment.
See [the netlibre's webclient][webclient].
## Build
`dnsmanagerd` is written in Crystal.
Youll need the following tools to build it: `crystal`, `shards` and `make`.
```
make
make install
```
## Run
```
$ dnsmanagerd --help
```
For a more extensive documentation, please read the manual for both [dnsmanagerd][dnsmanagerdmanual] and [dnsmanagerctl][dnsmanagerctlmanual].
See the [configuration example][configuration-example] to avoid long command-line parameters.
Also, some usage examples are available in the makefiles.
## Administration
```sh
# Add a domain for a user.
dnsmanagerctl provide-domain login domain
```
For a comprehensive list of available commands, please read the [dnsmanagerctl manual][dnsmanagerctlmanual].
This command-line-interface application is mainly used for administrative purposes, users should access `dnsmanagerd` through another client instead.
See [the netlibre's webclient][webclient].
### Backup and migration
```sh
# Database backup.
tar cfz db.tar.gz ./db-dnsmanagerd
# Database migration.
tar xfz db.tar.gz
```
Wasn't that hard, isn't it?
