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/
