PowerDNS-Admin is a web-based management interface and administration tool for PowerDNS. It provides a graphical dashboard to manage DNS zones and resource records, replacing the need for manual configuration file edits or command line tools.
The system implements a role-based access control layer to restrict zone visibility and administrative functions based on assigned user permissions. It includes a dedicated server monitor for tracking the health, configuration, and performance statistics of PowerDNS backend servers.
The platform covers a broad range of administrative capabilities, including the creation and modification of forward and reverse zones, the implementation of the DynDNS2 protocol for dynamic updates, and the maintenance of event-sourced audit logs to track all administrative changes.
The software is written in Python and utilizes a relational database for persistent storage of user accounts, zone configurations, and audit history.
