Setting up ExternalDNS for RancherDNS(RDNS) with kubernetes

This tutorial describes how to setup ExternalDNS for usage within a kubernetes cluster that makes use of RDNS and nginx ingress controller.
You need to:

  • install RDNS with etcd enabled
  • install external-dns with rdns as a provider

Installing RDNS with etcdv3 backend

Clone RDNS

git clone https://github.com/rancher/rdns-server.git

Installing ETCD

cd rdns-server
docker-compose -f deploy/etcdv3/etcd-compose.yaml up -d

ETCD was successfully deployed on http://172.31.35.77:2379

Installing RDNS

export ETCD_ENDPOINTS="http://172.31.35.77:2379"
export DOMAIN="lb.rancher.cloud"
./scripts/start etcdv3

RDNS was successfully deployed on 172.31.35.77

Installing ExternalDNS

Install external ExternalDNS

ETCD_URLS is configured to etcd client service address. RDNS_ROOT_DOMAIN is configured to the same with RDNS DOMAIN environment. e.g. lb.rancher.cloud.

Testing ingress example

$ cat ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: nginx
spec:
  ingressClassName: nginx
  rules:
  - host: nginx.lb.rancher.cloud
    http:
      paths:
      - backend:
          serviceName: nginx
          servicePort: 80

$ kubectl apply -f ingress.yaml
ingress.extensions "nginx" created

Wait a moment until DNS has the ingress IP. The RDNS IP in this example is "172.31.35.77".

$ kubectl get ingress
NAME      HOSTS                    ADDRESS         PORTS     AGE
nginx     nginx.lb.rancher.cloud   172.31.42.211   80        2m

$ kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never --image=infoblox/dnstools:latest dnstools
If you don't see a command prompt, try pressing enter.
