dnsify - Simplify your dns config

A human friendly format for defining and documenting and your DNS config and a tool for verifying and applying it to your friendly dns service provider.

e.g tableflip.io.dns.md

rigin: tableflip.io

       | type | data
-------|------|---------------
w blog | A    | 178.62.82.182
       | MX   | mx-{1,3}.rightbox.com:10

Why

• Documentation is the config.
• Reduce the repetition (looking at you zonefiles, OMG)
• Prefer readability over opaque terseness (tinydns, I <3 you, but why you make me RTFM every time?)

What

• Convert a Markdown table to an “Abstract Zone File” object
• Merge multiple tables into one zone object
• Understand shell style brace expansions {1,2}.foo.com => 1.foo.com 2.foo.com
• Output a zonefile or JSON

Usage

fy examples/tableflip.io.dns.md

GIN tableflip.io.
 1h
 IN A  178.62.82.182
 IN A  178.62.82.182
 IN MX 10 mx-1.rightbox.com.
