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 🙏

Readme

node-transip-dns-cli GitHub license npm Docker Pulls

Node.js cli tool for updating TransIP DNS entries using the TransIP REST API. Supports:

  • Installing globally as cli tool
  • Running as Docker container
  • Listing all DNS entries for one or more domains.
  • Updating the content of one or more DNS entries of one or more domains.
  • Running a service which updates content of one or more DNS entries of one or more domains to the public IPv4 and / or IPv6 address of the current machine (DDNS).

Table of Contents

Creating your private key

  1. Go to https://www.transip.nl/cp/account/api/
  2. Create a new Key Pair. Note: the 'Whitelisted IP' must not be checked if you want to use ddns-service.
  3. Save the private key in a file, e.g. private-key.pem.

Installation

NPM

  1. Install Node.js 18.x or higher (Windows | Linux | OSx).
  2. npm i -g transip-dns-cli

Docker Run

Note: the Docker image is a multiarch image. So it will also work on Raspberry Pi's.

sudo docker run \
 --name transip-dns-cli \
 --rm \
  marklagendijk/transip-dns-cli list-dns \
 --username="myusername" \
 --privateKey="$(<private-key.pem)" \
 --domainName="example.nl"

Docker Compose

docker-compose.yml:

version: "3"
services:
  transip-dns-cli:
    image: marklagendijk/transip-dns-cli
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./private-key.pem:/home/node/app/private-key.pem
    command: ddns-service --username="myusername" --privateKeyFile="private-key.pem" --domainName="example.nl" --type="A"

CLI Documentation

Glossary

  • domainName: The domain you have registered at TransIP.
  • DNS entry: Every domain has DNS configuration. This configuration consists of multiple DNS entries.
  • name: The name of a DNS entry. E.g. @, *, www or mail.
  • type: The type of DNS entry. Possbible types are A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SRV, SSHFP and TLSA.
  • expire: The expiration time of a DNS entry in seconds. E.g 3600 (1 hour).
  • content: The content of a DNS entry. IPv4 address for type A entries, IPv6 address for type AAAA entries, etc.

Environment variables

All args can also be specified as environment variables, with the TRANSIP_ prefix:

TRANSIP_USERNAME=myusername
TRANSIP_PRIVATE_KEY=$(<private-key.pem)
TRANSIP_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=private-key.pem
TRANSIP_DOMAIN_NAME=example.nl
