[c post]Description
Create a DNS record inside a zone.
Three things define a record: --type, --name and --content. --name is the host under the zone ('www' for www.example.com, the zone name itself or an empty string '' for the apex, '*' for a wildcard). --content is the record's data and its meaning depends on --type:
A IPv4 address e.g. 1.2.3.4 AAAA IPv6 address e.g. 2001:db8::1 CNAME target hostname e.g. www.example.com ALIAS target hostname (apex) e.g. example.com MX mail server hostname e.g. mail.example.com (set --priority) NS name server hostname e.g. ns1.example.com TXT free text e.g. "v=spf1 -all" SRV "weight port target" e.g. "5 5060 sip.example.com" (set --priority) CAA flags tag "value" e.g. 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
--priority is required for MX, SRV and URI and ignored otherwise. --ttl sets the cache lifetime in seconds (60-604800, default 3600). Records are --enabled by default.
Options
-u, --api-url string Override default host URL. If contains placeholder, location will be embedded. Preferred over the config file override 'dns' and env var 'IONOS_API_URL' (default "https://dns.%s.ionos.com")
--cols strings Set of columns to be printed on output
Available columns: [Id Name Content Type Enabled FQDN ZoneId ZoneName State]
-c, --config string Configuration file used for authentication (default "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ionosctl/config.yaml")
--content string Record data, interpreted per --type: an A record takes an IPv4 (1.2.3.4), AAAA an IPv6, CNAME/MX/NS a hostname, TXT free text. See this command's --help for the full per-type table (required)
-D, --depth int Level of detail for response objects (default 1)
--enabled Whether the record answers lookups. true = live; false = kept but not served (default true) (default true)
-F, --filters strings Limit results to results containing the specified filter:KEY1=VALUE1,KEY2=VALUE2
-f, --force Force command to execute without user input
-h, --help Print usage
--limit int Maximum number of items to return per request (default 50)
-l, --location string Location of the resource to operate on. When unset, list commands query all locations. Can be one of: de/fra. A facility inside one of these metro regions (e.g. de/fra/1) is also accepted and served by its metro region's endpoint (default "de/fra")
-n, --name string Host under the zone this record answers for, e.g. 'www'. For the apex, use the zone name itself (an empty name is also accepted). Use '*' for a wildcard matching non-existent names (some shells need it escaped as '\*') (required)
--no-headers Don't print table headers when table output is used
--offset int Number of items to skip before starting to collect the results
--order-by string Property to order the results by
-o, --output string Desired output format [text|json|api-json] (default "text")
--priority int32 Preference value 0-65535, lower wins. Required for MX, SRV and URI records; ignored for all other types
--query string JMESPath query string to filter the output
-q, --quiet Quiet output
-t, --timeout int Timeout in seconds for --wait and other wait operations (default 600)
--ttl int32 How long (seconds) resolvers may cache this record before re-querying; 60-604800 (default 3600 = 1h) (default 3600)
--type string Record type; decides how --content is interpreted (A=IPv4, AAAA=IPv6, CNAME/MX/NS=hostname, TXT=text, …). Can be one of: A, AAAA, CNAME, ALIAS, MX, NS, SRV, TXT, CAA, SSHFP, TLSA, SMIMEA, DS, HTTPS, SVCB, OPENPGPKEY, CERT, URI, RP, LOC (required) (default "AAAA")
-v, --verbose count Increase verbosity level [-v, -vv, -vvv]
-w, --wait Wait for the resource to reach AVAILABLE state after the command completes. No-op for list commands
-z, --zone string The ID or name of the DNS zone (required)Examples
