Hello

We really like this program, it makes our lives a lot easier :)

Thanks for :)

The question would be who could make up the current list of providers with PowerDNS-Admin as a whole.

Powerdns can be updated with a simple curl call

a simple working example:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PATCH --data '{"rrsets": [ {"name": "xxxx.DOMAIN.COM.", "type": "A", "ttl": 86400, "changetype": "REPLACE", "records": [ {"content": "1.1.1.1", "disabled": false, "name": "xxxx.DOMAIN.COM.", "ttl": 86400, "type": "A"}]}]}' -H 'X-API-Key: WDVaRHNxxxxxxxxx' https://POWERDNS-ADMIN-WEB.COM/api/v1/servers/localhost/zones/DOMAIN.COM | jq .

there could be a way for this to be included among the service providers.

I can help with testing

:)

@bohemtucsok Thanks for the piece of code 💯 I'll get to this real soon after releasing 2.6. Regarding #299 should it be done before or is it unrelated? Thanks!!

Hi, @qdm12 #299 is the same, the request was created twice and can be deleted, it would be great if it was included :) if you need help with testing, please let me know.
