Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

INWX apply

npm version Docker Image Version (tag latest semver) Codecov unit-tests publish

Ensure DNS resource record entries from a JSON (exporting) file are applied through INWX API.

I wanted a text based file that:

  • contains/exports all my DNS resource records for all my domains
  • can be version controlled with git (or any VCS)
  • works with variables for repeating/similar entries
  • can be applied against INWX API to ensure all these entries exists (no more, no less)

The result is this tool that takes a JSON (exporting) file as input and ensures that exactly these entries are set at inwx name servers for you.

Install (npm)

npm install -g inwx-apply

Docker

Build image yourself

docker build -t inwx-apply .

Run self build image

docker run \
  --rm \
  -v /path/to/credentials.json:/data/credentials.json:ro \
  -v /path/to/inwxDnsEntries.js:/data/inwxDnsEntries.js:ro \
  inwx-apply

Run pre-build image from docker hub

I've created a shell script for myself

#!/bin/sh

IMAGE_NAME=pabra/inwx-apply
IMAGE_TAG=latest

if [ "$1" = "pull" ] || [ "$1" = "--pull" ]; then
    docker pull "${IMAGE_NAME}:${IMAGE_TAG}"
    exit $?
fi

CREDENTIALS_FILE="$(pwd)/credentials.gitignore.json"
ENTRIES_FILE="$(pwd)/inwxDnsEntries.js"

CREDENTIALS_FILE_BASENAME=$(basename "${CREDENTIALS_FILE}")
ENTRIES_FILE_BASENAME=$(basename "${ENTRIES_FILE}")

docker run \
    --rm \
    -v "${CREDENTIALS_FILE}:/data/${CREDENTIALS_FILE_BASENAME}:ro" \
    -v "${ENTRIES_FILE}:/data/${ENTRIES_FILE_BASENAME}:ro" \
    "${IMAGE_NAME}:${IMAGE_TAG}" \
    --file "${ENTRIES_FILE_BASENAME}" \
    "$@"

Usage

inwx-apply will look in your current work directory for a file named inwxDnsEntries.js and import it. It also runs by default in "dry-run" mode. This means it will just show you what it would do.

If you do not want to check in your INWX credentials to your VCS, put them in a JSON file that is ignored by your VCS and import it into your DNS entries file.

Create your git ignored credential file (eg: inwx_credentials.gitignore.json):

{
  "username": "my_inwx_username",
  "password": "my_inwx_password",
  "sharedSecret": null
}

Create a js file that will import your credentials and export DNS entries as JSON (eg: inwxDnsEntries.js)

const credentials = require('./inwx_credentials.gitignore.json');
const ttl = 3600;
const ipV4 = {
  web: '1.2.3.4',
  web2: '4.3.2.1',
  db: '1.2.3.5',
  mail: '1.2.3.6',
};
const ipV6 = {
  web: '1:2:3::4',
  web2: '4:3:2::1',
  db: '1:2:3::5',
  mail: '1:2:3::6',
};
const nameServers = [
  'ns.inwx.de',
  'ns2.inwx.de',
  'ns3.inwx.eu',
  'ns4.inwx.com',
  'ns5.inwx.net',
];
const nameServerSet = nameServers.map(name => ({
  ttl: 86400,
  name: '*',
  content: name,
}));
const soaContent = `${nameServers[0]} [email protected]`;
const soaRecord = {
  ttl: 86400,
  name: '*',
  content: soaContent,
  replaceBeforeCompareContent: {
    searchRe: /\s+\d+$/.source,
    flags: '',
    replace: '',
  },
};
const mxRecord = { prio: 10, ttl, name: '*', content: 'mail.example.com' };

const entries = {
  credentials,
  // list of all domains handled by INWX
  knownDomains: ['example.com', 'example.net', 'exämple.org'],
  // list of domains, that entries should not be modified (subset of knownDomains)
  ignoredDomains: [],
  resourceRecords: {
    // default entries for all domains of knownDomains
    '*': {
      SOA: [soaRecord],
      NS: nameServerSet,
      MX: [mxRecord],
      CNAME: [
        { ttl, name: '*', content: 'example.com' },
        { ttl, name: 'www.*', content: 'www.example.com' },
      ],
    },
    'example.com': {
      A: [
        { ttl, name: '*', content: ipV4.web },
        { ttl, name: 'www.*', content: ipV4.web },
        { ttl, name: 'mail.*', content: ipV4.mail },
      ],
      AAAA: [
        { ttl, name: '*', content: ipV6.web },
        { ttl, name: 'www.*', content: ipV6.web },
        { ttl, name: 'mail.*', content: ipV6.mail },
      ],
      // do not apply CNAME from default "*"
      CNAME: [],
    },
    'example.net': {
      // example.net already uses the new "web2" server
      A: [
        { ttl, name: '*', content: ipV4.web2 },
        { ttl, name: 'www.*', content: ipV4.web2 },
        { ttl, name: 'db.*', content: ipV4.db },
      ],
      AAAA: [
        { ttl, name: '*', content: ipV6.web2 },
        { ttl, name: 'www.*', content: ipV6.web2 },
        { ttl, name: 'db.*', content: ipV6.db },
      ],
      CNAME: [],
    },
  },
};

module.exports = JSON.stringify(entries);

The exported JSON would be:

{
  "credentials": {
    "username": "***",
    "password": "***",
    "sharedSecret": "***"
  },
  "knownDomains": ["example.com", "example.net", "exämple.org"],

      ]
    },

      ],
      "AAAA": [
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "*", "content": "1:2:3::4" },
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "www.*", "content": "1:2:3::4" },
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "mail.*", "content": "1:2:3::6" }
      ],
      "CNAME": []
    },
    "example.net": {
      "A": [
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "*", "content": "4.3.2.1" },
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "www.*", "content": "4.3.2.1" },
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "db.*", "content": "1.2.3.5" }
      ],
      "AAAA": [
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "*", "content": "4:3:2::1" },
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "www.*", "content": "4:3:2::1" },
        { "ttl": 3600, "name": "db.*", "content": "1:2:3::5" }
      ],
      "CNAME": []
    }
  }
}

From that JSON inwx-apply will ensure, these entries will be present:
