## Configure DNS

### Prerequisites

- Buy a domain and configure nameservers to DigitalOcean

- Generate a DigitalOcean access token

### Create DNS entries in DigitalOcean

- Copy the [`dns-vars.example.yml`](./dns-vars.example.yml) vars file

  ```bash
  cp dns-vars.example.yml dns-vars.yml
  ```

- Enter the `dns-vars.yml` file

  ```bash
  # primary domain for which DNS records will be managed
  # eg: laconic.com
  domain: ""

  # specific prefix for subdomains
  # eg: lcn-cad
  subdomain_prefix: ""

  # The IP address to be used for the A record of the cluster control machine
  # eg: 23.111.78.179
  cluster_control_ip: ""

  # DigitalOcean access token
  # eg: dop_v1...
  do_api_token: ""
  ```

- Run the [`setup-dns.yml`](./setup-dns.yml) ansible playbook to create the necessary DNS entries in DigitalOcean

  ```bash
  ansible-playbook setup-dns.yml
  ```
