Zonemaster Backend

Purpose

This repository is one of the components of the Zonemaster software. For an overview of the Zonemaster software, please see the Zonemaster repository.

This module is the Backend JSON/RPC weservice for the Web Interface part of the Zonemaster project. It offers a JSON/RPC api to run tests one by one (as the zonemaster-gui web frontend module does, or by using a batch API to run the Zonemaster engine on many domains)

A Zonemaster user needs to install the backend only in the case where there is a need of logging the Zonemaster test runs in one's own respective database for analysing.

Prerequisites

Before you install the Zonemaster Backend, you need the Zonemaster Engine installed. Please see the Zonemaster Engine installation instructions.
