Changing DNS entries
Our current DNS provider is namecheap. We use Terraform to declaratively manage our pub.solar DNS records.
Initial setup
Skip this step if you already have a triton profile setup.
triton profile create
Please follow https://docs.greenbaum.cloud/en/devops/triton-cli.html for the details.
You will need to setup the following namecheap API credentials, look for "namecheap API key" in the pub.solar Keepass database.
NAMECHEAP_API_KEY
NAMECHEAP_API_USER
NAMECHEAP_USER_NAME
You will probably also need to add your external IP to the API allow list.
dig -4 ip @dns.toys
Now, change into the terraform directory and initialize the terraform providers.
cd terraform
export TRITON_KEY_ID=$(cat ~/.config/triton/profiles.d/lev-1-pub_solar.json | jq --raw-output .keyId)
terraform init
Make your changes, e.g. in dns.tf.
$EDITOR dns.tf
Plan your changes using:
terraform plan -out pub-solar-infra.plan
After verification, apply your changes with:
terraform apply "pub-solar-infra.plan"
Useful links
We use the Manta remote backend to save the terraform state for collaboration.
