# PowerDNS-Admin
PowerDNS Web-GUI - Built by Flask

#### Features:
- Multiple domain management
- Local / LDAP user authentication
- Support Two-factor authentication (TOTP)
- User management
- User access management based on domain
- User activity logging
- Dashboard and pdns service statistics
- DynDNS 2 protocol support

## Setup

### PowerDNS Version Support:
PowerDNS-Admin supports PowerDNS autoritative server versions **3.4.2** and higher. 

### pdns Service
I assume that you have already installed powerdns service. Make sure that your `/etc/pdns/pdns.conf` has these contents

PowerDNS 4.0.0 and later
```
api=yes
api-key=your-powerdns-api-key
webserver=yes
```

PowerDNS before 4.0.0
```
experimental-json-interface=yes
experimental-api-key=your-powerdns-api-key
webserver=yes
```

This will enable API access in PowerDNS so PowerDNS-Admin can intergrate with PowerDNS.

### Create Database
We will create a database which used by this web application. Please note that this database is difference from pdns database itself.

You could use any database that SQLAlchemy supports. For example MySQL (you will need to `pip install MySQL-python` to use MySQL backend):
```
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE powerdnsadmin;

MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON powerdnsadmin.* TO powerdnsadmin@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-password';
```
For testing purpose, you could also use SQLite as backend. This way you do not have to install `MySQL-python` dependency.


### PowerDNS-Admin

In this installation guide, I am using CentOS 7 and run my python stuffs with *virtualenv*. If you don't have it, lets install it:
```
$ sudo yum install python-pip
$ sudo pip install virtualenv
```

In your python web app directory, create a `flask` directory via `virtualenv`
```
$ virtualenv flask
```

Enable virtualenv and install python 3rd libraries
```
$ source ./flask/bin/activate
(flask)$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Web application configuration is stored in `config.py` file. Let's clone it from `config_template.py` file and then edit it
```
(flask)$ cp config_template.py config.py 
(flask)$ vim config.py
```

Create database after having proper configs
```
(flask)% ./create_db.py
```


Run the application and enjoy!
```
(flask)$ ./run.py
```
