gibdns-gcore

gibdns provider for Gcore DNS. Hosts such as gibcert execute this binary to publish ACME DNS-01 TXT records.

Gcore's API has no TLSA support. Do not use this provider for automatic DANE publication.

Protocol TXT TLSA Zone discovery
gibdns/draft-01 yes no yes

Install

Download the archive or .deb for your OS from the releases page.

Debian package (installs to /usr/libexec/gibdns):

sudo dpkg -i gibdns-gcore_*_linux_amd64.deb

Tarball:

sudo install -D -m 0755 gibdns-gcore /usr/local/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore

From source:

make install PREFIX=/usr/local

The binary is not an interactive CLI and is intentionally not installed on PATH. Confirm the installation, then let the host invoke it:

# Debian package:
test -x /usr/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore
# Source or tarball install:
test -x /usr/local/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore

Use /usr/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore for a Debian package or /usr/local/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore for a source or tarball install in host configuration. See Using gibdns for the host and provider split.

Use with gibcert

Store a Gcore permanent API key at /etc/gibcert/gcore-api-key with mode 0600. Then:

provider gcore {
  type dns
  driver exec
  command /usr/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore
  zone example.com.

  secret api_key {
    file /etc/gibcert/gcore-api-key
  }
}

certificate wildcard-example.com {
  account letsencrypt
  names example.com *.example.com

  challenge dns-01 {
    provider gcore
    propagation-timeout 120s
  }
}

zone is optional because this provider advertises zone discovery. Set it when you want an exact zone selector. If installed from source or a tarball, use /usr/local/libexec/gibdns/gibdns-gcore instead.

gibcert binding details are in External DNS Providers.

Secrets

  • api_key (required): a Gcore permanent API key

Config

  • api_url (optional)

Minimum TTL depends on the Gcore plan. The provider advertises 120 seconds as a conservative hint. Patch is a full RRset replace, so concurrent_safe_patch is false; use if_revision. TLSA is not advertised.

This provider talks to the official Gcore DNS SDK rather than libdns/gcore.

Development

make test
make build
make snapshot

Publish a tagged release with make release. That target runs GoReleaser via go run; a GITEA_TOKEN with package/release access is required.
