Default variables: configuration

Some of the debops.pdns default variables have more extensive configuration than simple strings or lists, here you can find documentation and examples for them.

pdns__*_configuration

The pdns__configuration, pdns__group_configuration and pdns__host_configuration variables allow you to override /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf settings on a global, group or host basis. The variables are lists of dicts that get merged using the principles of Universal Configuration.

name: Required. Name of the setting you want to change.
comment: Optional. Comment added in the configuration file.
value: Required. The value to configure as a string or YAML text block.
state: Optional. The state of the setting in /etc/powerdns/pdns.conf, either "present" or "absent". Defaults to "present".

Example:

pdns__configuration:

  - name: 'also-notify'
    comment: |-
      Our secondary DNS provider uses unicast hosts to collect zone transfer
      data, and then distributes it internally to all their anycast servers.
    value: '2001:db8:a::1, 2001:db8:b::1, 2001:db8:c::1'
    state: '{{ "present"
               if ansible_local.machine.deployment
                   | d("production") == "production"
               else "absent" }}'
