Recently, I wanted to test the basic powerdns terraform provider, and whether I could write multiple TXT record entries for one name.
Hey, what do you know, it worked. I just had little test messages in there, and decided, maybe it would be neat to put the "DNS Haiku" in a text record. I used the latest Terraform, 0.12.12.
Here's my code. Notice I changed the haiku just a little.
// don't forget to put vars in separate file // for pdns_api_key & pdns_server_url provider "powerdns" { api_key = var.pdns_api_key server_url = var.pdns_server_url } // example of multiple TXT records for name resource "powerdns_record" "text" { zone = "geexology.org." name = "text.geexology.org." type = "TXT" ttl = 900 records = ["\"It's not DNS.\"","\"There's no way it's DNS.\"","\"Oh no, DNS.\""] } Example tfvars.tf.
// cat tfvars.tf variable "pdns_api_key" { description = "current api key" default = "notrealzlolputyourkeyheresilly" } variable "pdns_server_url" { description = "current api url" default = "http://127.0.0.1:8087" } The reply from the server for the dig query.
