Domains¶

Setup¶

Limit methods will be called on the DNS service, an instance of OpenCloud\DNS\Service. Please see the DNS service documentation for setup instructions.

Get domain¶

To retrieve a specific domain, you will need the domain’s id, not its domain name.

$domain = $service->domain(12345);

If you are having trouble remembering or accessing the domain ID, you can do a domain list search for your domain and then access its ID.

List domains¶

These calls provide a list of all DNS domains manageable by a given account. The resulting list is flat, and does not break the domains down hierarchically by subdomain. All representative domains are included in the list, even if a domain is conceptually a subdomain of another domain in the list.

$domains = $service->domainList();

# Return detailed information for each domain
$domains = $service->domainList(true);

Please consult the iterator documentation for more information about iterators.

$hoolaDomains = $service->domainList(array(
    'name' => 'hoola.com'
));

$domains = $service->domainList(array(
    'name' => 'foo.com'
));

foreach ($domains as $domain) {
    $id = $domain->id;
}

List domain changes¶

This call shows all changes to the specified domain since the specified date/time. The since parameter is optional and defaults to midnight of the current day.

$changes = $domain->changes();

# Changes since last week
$since = date('c', strtotime('last week'));
$changes = $domain->changes($since);

foreach ($changes->changes as $change) {
    printf("Domain: %s\nAction: %s\nTarget: %s", $change->domain, $change->action, $change->targetType);

    foreach ($change->changeDetails as $detail) {
        printf("Details: %s was changed from %s to %s", $detail->field, $detail->oldValue, $detail->newValue);
    }
}

Export domain¶

This call provides the BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) 9 formatted contents of the requested domain. This call is for a single domain only, and as such, does not traverse up or down the domain hierarchy for details (that is, no subdomain information is provided).

$asyncResponse = $domain->export();
$body = $asyncResponse->waitFor('COMPLETED');
echo $body['contents'];

Create domain¶

A domain is composed of DNS records (e.g. A, CNAME or MX records) and an optional list of sub-domains. You will need to specify these before creating the domain itself:

// get empty object
$domain = $service->domain();

// add A record
$aRecord = $domain->record(array(
    'type' => 'A',
    'name' => 'example.com',
    'data' => '192.0.2.17',
    'ttl'  => 3600
));
$domain->addRecord($aRecord);

// add optional C record
$cRecord = $domain->record(array(
    'type' => 'CNAME',
    'name' => 'www.example.com',
    'data' => 'example.com',
    'ttl'  => 3600
));
$domain->addRecord($cRecord);

// add optional MX record
$mxRecord = $domain->record(array(
    'type' => 'MX',
    'data' => 'mail.example.com',
    'name' => 'example.com',
    'ttl'  => 3600,
    'priority' => 5
));
$domain->addRecord($mxRecord);

// add optional NS records
$nsRecord1 = $domain->record(array(
    'type' => 'NS',
    'data' => 'dns1.stabletransit.com',
    'name' => 'example.com',
    'ttl'  => 5400
));
$domain->addRecord($nsRecord1);

$nsRecord2 = $domain->record(array(
    'type' => 'NS',
    'data' => 'dns2.stabletransit.com',
    'name' => 'example.com',
    'ttl'  => 5400
));
$domain->addRecord($nsRecord2);

// add optional subdomains
$sub1 = $domain->subdomain(array(
    'emailAddress' => 'foo@example.com',
    'name'         => 'dev.example.com',
    'comment'      => 'Dev portal'
));
$domain->addSubdomain($sub1);

// send to API
$domain->create(array(
    'emailAddress' => 'webmaster@example.com',
    'ttl'          => 3600,
    'name'         => 'example.com',
    'comment'      => 'Optional comment'
));

Clone domain¶

This call will duplicate a single existing domain configuration with a new domain name for the specified Cloud account. By default, all records and, optionally, subdomain(s) are duplicated as well.

The method signature you will need to use is:

cloneDomain ( string $newDomainName [, bool $subdomains [, bool $comments [, bool $email [, bool $records ]]]] )

For example:

$asyncResponse = $domain->cloneDomain('new-name.com', true);

Import domain¶

This call provisions a new DNS domain under the account specified by the BIND 9 formatted file configuration contents defined in the request object.

You will need to ensure that the BIND 9 formatted file configuration contents are valid by adhering to the following rules:

• Each record starts on a new line and on the first column. If a record will not fit on one line, use the BIND_9 line continuation convention where you put a left parenthesis and continue the one record on the next line and put a right parenthesis when the record ends. For example,

  example2.net. 3600 IN SOA dns1.stabletransit.com. ( sample@rackspace.com. 1308874739 3600 3600 3600 3600)

• The attribute values of a record must be separated by a single blank or tab. No other white space characters.

• If there are any NS records, the data field should not be dns1.stabletransit.com or dns2.stabletransit.com. They will result in “duplicate record” errors.

For example:

$bind9Data = <<<EOT
\nexample.net. 3600 IN SOA dns1.stabletransit.com. sample@rackspace.com. 1308874739 3600 3600 3600 3600\nexample.net. 86400 IN A 110.11.12.16\nexample.net. 3600 IN MX 5 mail2.example.net.\nwww.example.net. 5400 IN CNAME example.net.\n
EOT;

$asyncResponse = $service->import($bind9Data);

Modify domain¶

This call modifies DNS domain(s) attributes only. Only the TTL, email address and comment attributes of a domain can be modified. Records cannot be added, modified, or removed through this API operation - you will need to use the add records, modify records or remove records operations respectively.

$domain->update(array(
    'ttl'          => ($domain->ttl + 100),
    'emailAddress' => 'new_dev@foo.com'
));

Remove domain¶

$domain->delete();
