The current example of CRD source is missing the `Labels` type definition. It also does not have the JSON tag for the `Name` and `Value` fields of the `ProviderSpecificProperty` type. As such, creating a CRD from these types will result in errors. This change fixes the two issues highlighted above.

# CRD Source
|
|
|
|
CRD source provides a generic mechanism to manage DNS records in your favourite DNS provider supported by external-dns.
|
|
|
|
### Details
|
|
|
|
CRD source watches for a user specified CRD to extract [Endpoints](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/blob/HEAD/endpoint/endpoint.go) from its `Spec`.
|
|
So users need to create such a CRD and register it to the kubernetes cluster and then create new object(s) of the CRD specifying the Endpoints.
|
|
|
|
### Registering CRD
|
|
|
|
Here is typical example of [CRD API type](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/external-dns/blob/HEAD/endpoint/endpoint.go) which provides Endpoints to `CRD source`:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type TTL int64
|
|
type Targets []string
|
|
type ProviderSpecificProperty struct {
|
|
Name string `json:"name,omitempty"`
|
|
Value string `json:"value,omitempty"`
|
|
}
|
|
type ProviderSpecific []ProviderSpecificProperty
|
|
type Labels map[string]string
|
|
|
|
type Endpoint struct {
|
|
// The hostname of the DNS record
|
|
DNSName string `json:"dnsName,omitempty"`
|
|
// The targets the DNS record points to
|
|
Targets Targets `json:"targets,omitempty"`
|
|
// RecordType type of record, e.g. CNAME, A, SRV, TXT etc
|
|
RecordType string `json:"recordType,omitempty"`
|
|
// TTL for the record
|
|
RecordTTL TTL `json:"recordTTL,omitempty"`
|
|
// Labels stores labels defined for the Endpoint
|
|
// +optional
|
|
Labels Labels `json:"labels,omitempty"`
|
|
// ProviderSpecific stores provider specific config
|
|
// +optional
|
|
ProviderSpecific ProviderSpecific `json:"providerSpecific,omitempty"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type DNSEndpointSpec struct {
|
|
Endpoints []*Endpoint `json:"endpoints,omitempty"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
type DNSEndpointStatus struct {
|
|
// The generation observed by the external-dns controller.
|
|
// +optional
|
|
ObservedGeneration int64 `json:"observedGeneration,omitempty"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// +genclient
|
|
// +k8s:deepcopy-gen:interfaces=k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/runtime.Object
|
|
|
|
// DNSEndpoint is the CRD wrapper for Endpoint
|
|
// +k8s:openapi-gen=true
|
|
// +kubebuilder:resource:path=dnsendpoints
|
|
// +kubebuilder:subresource:status
|
|
type DNSEndpoint struct {
|
|
metav1.TypeMeta `json:",inline"`
|
|
metav1.ObjectMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty"`
|
|
|
|
Spec DNSEndpointSpec `json:"spec,omitempty"`
|
|
Status DNSEndpointStatus `json:"status,omitempty"`
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Refer to [kubebuilder](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder) to create and register the CRD.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
One can use CRD source by specifying `--source` flag with `crd` and specifying the ApiVersion and Kind of the CRD with `--crd-source-apiversion` and `crd-source-kind` respectively.
|
|
for e.g:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ build/external-dns --source crd --crd-source-apiversion externaldns.k8s.io/v1alpha1 --crd-source-kind DNSEndpoint --provider inmemory --once --dry-run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Creating DNS Records
|
|
|
|
Create the objects of CRD type by filling in the fields of CRD and DNS record would be created accordingly.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
Here is an example [CRD manifest](crd-source/crd-manifest.yaml) generated by kubebuilder.
|
|
Apply this to register the CRD
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ kubectl apply --validate=false -f docs/contributing/crd-source/crd-manifest.yaml
|
|
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io "dnsendpoints.externaldns.k8s.io" created
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you can create the dns-endpoint yaml similar to [dnsendpoint-example](crd-source/dnsendpoint-example.yaml)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ kubectl apply -f docs/contributing/crd-source/dnsendpoint-example.yaml
|
|
dnsendpoint.externaldns.k8s.io "examplednsrecord" created
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run external-dns in dry-mode to see whether external-dns picks up the DNS record from CRD.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ build/external-dns --source crd --crd-source-apiversion externaldns.k8s.io/v1alpha1 --crd-source-kind DNSEndpoint --provider inmemory --once --dry-run
|
|
INFO[0000] running in dry-run mode. No changes to DNS records will be made.
|
|
INFO[0000] Connected to cluster at https://192.168.99.100:8443
|
|
INFO[0000] CREATE: foo.bar.com 180 IN A 192.168.99.216
|
|
INFO[0000] CREATE: foo.bar.com 0 IN TXT "heritage=external-dns,external-dns/owner=default"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### RBAC configuration
|
|
|
|
If you use RBAC, extend the `external-dns` ClusterRole with:
|
|
```
|
|
- apiGroups: ["externaldns.k8s.io"]
|
|
resources: ["dnsendpoints"]
|
|
verbs: ["get","watch","list"]
|
|
- apiGroups: ["externaldns.k8s.io"]
|
|
resources: ["dnsendpoints/status"]
|
|
verbs: ["*"]
|
|
```
