@renne you can use Lexicon's existing ddns
provider with Technitium. To do this, add a TSIG key via Settings -> TSIG. I recommend using a simple key name and letting Technitium generate a strong secret for you. Leave the algorithm as HMAC-SHA256 too.
You then need to allow both zone transfers and dynamic updates for Lexicon using that TSIG key. If you can limit the source IP addresses that would be good. On the Dynamic Update page, you need to specify the domain name as *.domain.com
and the record type can be limited to TXT
When running Lexicon, the --auth-token
parameter is hmac-sha256:lexicon:<shared_secret>
and the --ddns-parameter
is just the IP address of your Technitium server.
@Djelibeybi Is it possible to add/update/delete A, AAAA, MX, CAA and TXT records via lexicon?
Yes, it is
It would be good if this was referenced somewhere in documentation. I had to go down the rabbit hole of acme.sh, lexicon and then issues just to find out how you'd set up acme.sh to work with Technitium.
Technitium DNS is a quite powerful DNS server with integrated DHCP server. Adding the Technitium DNS API to lexicon would allow to e.g. self-host DNS on Yunohost.
