Hetzner DNS API

Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to creds.json with TYPE set to HETZNER_V2 along with a Hetzner API Token.

Example:

creds.json

{
  "hetzner_v2": {
    "TYPE": "HETZNER_V2",
    "api_token": "your-api-token"
  }
}

Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Hetzner DNS API.

Usage

An example configuration:

dnsconfig.js

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
var DSP_HETZNER = NewDnsProvider("hetzner_v2");

D("example.com", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_HETZNER),
    A("test", "1.2.3.4"),
);

Activation

Create a new API Key in the Hetzner Console.

Caveats

NS

Removing the Hetzner provided NS records at the root is not possible.

SOA

Hetzner DNS API does not allow changing the SOA record via their API. There is an alternative method using an import of a full BIND file, but this approach does not play nice with incremental changes or ignored records. At this time you cannot update SOA records via DNSControl.
