DynDNS for Docker with Route53

This is the Dynamic DNS counterpart of James Wilder's nginx-proxy for docker: jwilder/nginx-proxy.

• Listen to start events of containers on the docker socket.
• Outputs a shell script with the list of expected A Records according to the VIRTUAL_HOST environment variables of the started containers.
• Execute the script to create or update the list of A Records with Route53.

The current template does not generate hosted zones.

jwilder/docker-gen is in charge of listening to the docker events and generating the file. barnybug/cli53 is in charge of talking to Route53.

Setup

Environment variables:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID Required
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY Required
• PUBLIC_IP The IP of the generated records. Optional
• PRIVATE_TOP_ZONES Space separated list of private top-zone and hostnames, optional.
• DRY_ROUTE53 when defined, just echo the commands that we would run.

When PUBLIC_IP is not defined, call AWS's EC2 metadataservice to get it. When AWS EC2 metadata service is not present; call icanhazip.com.

When PRIVATE_TOP_ZONES is not defined its default value is: localhost local priv private When the VIRTUAL_HOST matches such a domain or hostname it is not published on route53.

Example run

docker run --rm --name route53 \
	-v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock
	-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=ABC -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=DEF
	-t hmalphettes/docker-route53-dyndns

Example setup with fig

nginx:
  image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
  ports:
    - "80:80"
  volumes:
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock
route53:
  image: hmalphettes/docker-route53-dyndns
  environment:
  	- AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ABC
  	- AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: DEF
  volumes:
    - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock
web00:
  image: progrium/webapp
  environment:
    VIRTUAL_HOST: localhost,dev01.foo.bar

Example generated script:

#!/bin/sh
[ -z "$PUBLIC_IP" ] && PUBLIC_IP=`curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-ipv4`
[ -z "$PRIVATE_TOP_ZONES" ] && PRIVATE_TOP_ZONES="localhost local priv private"

host=dev01.foo.bar
topzone=$(echo "${host##*.}")
tenant=$(echo $host | cut -f1 -d'.')
zone=$(echo "${host#*.}")
if [ "${PRIVATE_TOP_ZONES#*$topzone}" != "$PRIVATE_TOP_ZONES" -o "$tenant" = "$zone" ]; then
    echo "Skipping private hostname $host"
else
    cmd="cli53 rrcreate $zone $tenant A $PUBLIC_IP --ttl 300 --replace"
    [ -z "$DRY_ROUTE53" ] && $cmd || echo "DRYRUN: $cmd"
fi
