SimpleDNS – PowerDNS / MySQL Web Interface
PowerDNS is amazing, I use it all the time — the only thing lacking is a really easy way to configure new domains and records graphically.
For this reason I decided to write my own ridiculously simple DNS administration web interface for PowerDNS / MySQL. It’s written in PHP on top of CodeIgniter and should work pretty well for basic use cases.
Clone / Checkout the project from here : https://github.com/aster1sk/SimpleDNS
There’s a README but if you get stuck feel free to leave a comment here.
I’ll post screenshots later, gotta get to work.






Hi ASTER1SK!
I really wold like to understand the basics of powerdns, is there any quick guide or tutorial to get me up and running? any books that you may suggest? I’d like to use this wonderful tool and get it to work with ENUM, what do you think I should take a look in order to learn al quick and effective as posible?? any comment would help.
Thanx a lot in advance!!
regards!
Hi there.
This is sounding great. I use PDNS and it appears like your DNS interface is the missing link!
Would be great if you could post some screenshots if its not too much trouble. thanks in advance,
Just clone it on github. It’s a very simple installation.
Configuration is a breeze. I learned by playing with it and figuring out how to not break it.
This may be more of a codeignitor question I guess. But after cloning it and get the database config in place. I am having a hard time getting it properly deployed in my webspace. Do I need to be using mod_rewrite rules, or should I just be able to plop the directory into /var/www/html?

Do I need to be using mod_rewrite rules, or should I just be able to plop the directory into /var/www/html? Ive even tried moving the content of the “public” directory to /var/www/html and editing the index.php to reference where the system and application folders are. I get the login page, but it just keeps redirecting to /login which is not found.

Nevermind.. issue was two fold:
1) Needed to create a virtual host and point it to the public directory as the document root
2) Needed to make sure AllowOverride is set to all so it uses the rewrite in your .htaccess file
Looks like your link is 404 on github. Is the project still around?
Sure is, just removed from github let me know if you’d like a copy.
I’d love a copy–my e-mail should show up for you (though not for the rest of the world).

Hi there
I commented back in Dec but never got around to doing the install, would like a copy – are you still using Github? cheers for now
Hi, I noticed that your github repo is removed. Do you mind sharing a copy of the codeigniter app?
Hi, is it possible to get a copy? Thanks
