A system to ease the management of DNS A records for an arbitrary number of servers.
Clone, set up a virtual environment with make venv and enter it with source venv/bin/activate.
The application expects AWS API secrets as the environment variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.
Other environment variables required are a pseudo-random SECRET_KEY for Flask and a HOSTED_ZONE_DOMAIN, an FQDN used to identify the zone to be modified.
Run with ./run.py or flask run to serve the web interface in development mode on localhost:5000 with Flask. To serve with gunicorn on localhost:8000, run the command in the Procfile.
Some toy data is created by app.server_admin.create_infrastructure.
git push heroku
The application requires a Route 53 hosted zone. Provisioning this is automated by Terraform, requiring only the TF_VAR_hosted_zone_domain environment variable be set.
Note that the default permissions for the application should not include route53:CreateHostedZone, so ensure the correct user keys are sourced. Deployment can be automated end-to-end with ./infrastructure/deploy.sh, which will push the relevant environment variables to Heroku.
