NAME
       ikidns - ikiwiki-hosting dns helper


SYNOPSIS
       ikidns subcommand options


DESCRIPTION
       Each web server needs to be able to update the DNS when a site is brought up on it. They do so by talking
       to the master DNS server, using nsupdate(1) and a key.

       ikidns handles management of the keys, and configures the master DNS  server  to  accept  them  for  each
       configured toplevel domain name.


FILES
       /etc/bind/$domain/db/zonefile  is  the  zone  file  for  a  domain.  A stub file will be generated from a
       template if it doesn't exist, but probably needs  to  be  configured.  As  nsupdate(1)  is  used  to  add
       subdomains, bind will first add them to a journal file, and later update this file to list them.

       /etc/ikiwiki-hosting/ikiwiki-hosting.conf is the config file read by default.

       /etc/ikiwiki-hosting/templates/ holds templates of bind config and zone files


EXAMPLES
        ikidns setupbind

        scp $(ikidns createkey $newserver) $newserver:/etc/ikiwiki-hosting/keys/dns/
