- PeerSyncWorker reads DADNS_PEER_SYNC_PEER_URL / _USERNAME / _PASSWORD env
vars to populate a single peer without a config file; deduped against any
config-file peers so the URL never appears twice
- 2 new tests (119 total, all passing)
- README: peer sync single-peer env var table; Topology C compose example
updated to use env vars only (no config file needed for two-node setup)
- README: document cybercinch/coredns_mysql_extend built-in file caching —
serves from cache during MySQL outages, eliminates per-query round-trips
- New NSDBackend: zone files + nsd-control reload, zone registration via
nsd.conf.d include file; mirrors BIND backend interface exactly
- BackendRegistry now supports type "nsd"; config defaults for nsd.zones_dir
and nsd.nsd_conf
- Dockerfile installs both NSD and BIND9 — entrypoint detects configured
backend type(s) and starts only the required daemon; CoreDNS MySQL
deployments start neither
- docker/nsd.conf: minimal NSD base config with remote-control and
zones.conf include
- entrypoint.sh: reads config file + env vars to determine which daemon
to start; runs nsd-control-setup on first boot
- 20 new NSD backend tests (117 total, all passing)
- README: Topology C (multi-instance + peer sync) documented as most robust
HA option; NSD config reference; updated topology comparison table;
NSD env-var-only compose examples; version 2.5.0
Migrate remaining session.query() calls in coredns_mysql.py to
select()/session.execute() style; update bulk delete to delete()
construct and count to func.count(); drop sessionmaker(bind=).
Update test fixtures and assertions to match.
Zero session.query() calls remaining across the entire codebase.
Configurable startup delay before the first reconciliation pass so that
multiple receivers behind a load balancer can be offset without relying
on container start order (which is lost on reboot). Set to half the
interval on the secondary receiver — e.g. interval 60m → delay 30m.
Default is 0 (no change to existing behaviour). Stop event is respected
during the delay so the worker shuts down cleanly even mid-wait.
Cover memory profiles, zone-count thresholds, reload behaviour, and
throughput characteristics for BIND9, CoreDNS MySQL, NSD, and Knot DNS.
Call out NSD as the recommended lighter bundled alternative to BIND9
(~5-10 MB base, near-identical zone file format, same reload semantics)
and note the ~300-zone crossover where CoreDNS MySQL starts to win.
Expand both topology diagrams to show the retry queue and healing pass in
the flow. Add per-topology failure-behaviour tables covering transient backend
failure, prolonged outage, container-down-during-push, and cross-node drift.
Rewrite the comparison table to call out the key architectural difference:
Topology A has no auto-recovery from prolonged BIND failure (needs next DA push);
Topology B's reconciler healing pass re-syncs missing backends from stored
zone_data without any DA involvement.
- worker.py: third persistent retry queue with exponential backoff (30s→30m,
max 5 attempts); failed backends tracked per-item so retries target only the
failing nodes; zone_data stored in DB after every successful write
- Domain model: zone_data TEXT + zone_updated_at DATETIME columns; additive
migration applied on startup so existing deployments upgrade in place
- ReconciliationWorker: Option C healing pass — checks every configured backend
for zone presence after each reconciliation cycle and re-queues any zone
missing from a backend using stored zone_data, enabling automatic recovery
from prolonged backend outages without waiting for DirectAdmin to re-push
- 82 tests, all passing
Dead code from v1 planning — never implemented, superseded by the
CoreDNS MySQL backend. Also carried a broken stale import that would
have caused an ImportError on load.
Move all outbound DirectAdmin HTTP logic out of ReconciliationWorker and
into a dedicated, independently testable DirectAdminClient class:
- directdnsonly/app/da/client.py: list_domains (paginated JSON + legacy
fallback), get (authenticated GET to any CMD_* endpoint), _login
(DA Evo session-cookie fallback), _parse_legacy_domain_list
- directdnsonly/app/da/__init__.py: public re-export of DirectAdminClient
- reconciler.py: now purely reconciliation logic; instantiates a client
per configured server — no HTTP code remaining
- tests/test_da_client.py: 16 dedicated tests for DirectAdminClient
- tests/test_reconciler.py: mocks at the DirectAdminClient class boundary
instead of the internal _fetch_da_domains method
Bumped to 2.2.0 — DirectAdminClient is now a first-class public API.
- entrypoint: only start named when a bind backend is configured and
enabled in app.yml; CoreDNS-only deployments skip named entirely
- config: user-supplied paths (/etc/directdnsonly, ./config) now
searched before the bundled app.yml so mounted configs take effect
- docs: deployment topology reference — Topology A (dual BIND HA) and
Topology B (single instance, multi-DC CoreDNS MySQL)
- chore: bump version to 2.1.0
- justfile: add build-docker recipe
Root config/ directory was removed when the duplicate config/app.yml was
deleted — the canonical config is now bundled inside directdnsonly/config/
and is already covered by the existing COPY directdnsonly step.
- Added `certifi` version 2026.1.4 and `charset-normalizer` version 3.4.4 to poetry.lock.
- Introduced `idna` version 3.11 to poetry.lock.
- Updated `requests` to version 2.32.5 in poetry.lock and added it as a dependency in pyproject.toml.
- Updated `urllib3` to version 2.6.3 in poetry.lock.
- Added extras for `requests` and `urllib3` in poetry.lock.
- Migrated from setuptools to Poetry; added pyproject.toml, poetry.lock,
poetry.toml and .python-version (Python 3.11.12)
- Built out full directdnsonly Python package with BIND and CoreDNS MySQL
backends, CherryPy REST API, persist-queue worker, and vyper-based config
- Auth credentials now read from config/env (app.auth_username/password)
rather than hardcoded; override via DADNS_APP_AUTH_PASSWORD env var
- Added Dockerfile.deepseek: Python 3.11 slim + BIND9 + Poetry install
- Rewrote docker-compose.yml for local dev stack (MySQL + dadns services)
- Added SQL schema, docker/ BIND configs, justfile, tests, and README
- Expanded .gitignore for Poetry/Python project artifacts
