Automatic DNS Records

[SiFuMax09]

Title: Automatic DNS Records

Description: The ability to automatically set up DNS records for applications by integrating with Cloudflare and other DNS providers. Users should be able to configure API keys, email addresses, and other authentication details on a per-project basis.

When deploying a new site, a checkbox (enabled by default) will ensure that DNS records are automatically created and updated, saving users time and reducing manual errors. If a user prefers to handle DNS records manually, they can simply uncheck the option before deploying.

The feature should also validate that the domain is correctly set up before attempting to create records. Additionally, domain ownership verification should be simplified by checking if the domain is already in the user's domain portfolio via the API, allowing automatic confirmation without requiring manual verification steps.

Additional Ideas and Enhancements:

• Support for Multiple DNS Providers: Allow users to choose between Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, DigitalOcean DNS, and other providers.

• Environment-Based DNS Settings: Allow different DNS providers per project (e.g., staging vs. production).

• Notification System: Send alerts if a DNS change fails or if there are configuration issues.

• Logging & Audit Trail: Keep track of all DNS changes for troubleshooting and compliance purposes.

• API for External Automation: Provide an API that allows external systems to trigger DNS updates dynamically.

• Wildcard DNS Support: Enable wildcard DNS entries for broader domain coverage.

• Backup & Restore DNS Configurations: Provide a way to back up and restore DNS settings in case of misconfigurations.

• DNS Propagation Monitoring: Track and display DNS propagation status for users.

• Integration with Let’s Encrypt: When deployed with automatic DNS records, automaticity issue an SSL certificate.

Would love to hear feedback and additional use cases from the community!
