Destroyed lglass (markdown)

-lglass is a Python software package designed for Internet Registries like the DN42. You can generate zone files for DNS and rDNS IPv4/v6, and handle the registry. It is available on GitHub as free software:

-

- $ git clone git://github.com/fritz0705/lglass.git

-

-## Running your own Whois daemon

-

-lglass provides an event-based whois daemon with internal caching, which was written in Python. It is very simple to run an instance:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-whoisd -D $PATH_TO_DATA_DIR -H $HOST -P $PORT

-

-## Generate zone files

-

-lglass also provides a script to generate zone files from the registry. It's named zonegen.py and requires a registry dump from Monotone.

-

-To generate DNS zones:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-zonegen -d $PATH_TO_DATA_DIR -n ns1... -n ns2... -e foo.bar.com dns -z dn42

-

-To generate IPv4 rDNS zones:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-zonegen -d $PATH_TO_DATA_DIR -n ns1... -n ns2... -e foo.bar.com rdns4 -N 172.22.0.0/16

-

-To generate IPv6 rDNS zones:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-zonegen -d $PATH_TO_DATA_DIR -n ns1... -n ns2... -e foo.bar.com rdns6 -N fd00::/8

-

-## Reformat RPSL files

-

-You can also reformat RPSL files using lglass by using the lglass.rpsl module:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-rpsl < $DATA/inetnum/172.22.0.53_32

-

-lglass.rpsl also supports in-place operation:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-rpsl -i $DATA/inetnum/172.22.0.53_32

-

-This opens the file, reads the content into memory, seeks to position 0, writes the formatted object and truncates the file.

-

-## Simple web interface

-

-lglass also comes with a simple web interface written in Python3 using Bottle and Jinja2. It also provides a binary to run it using wsgiref:

-

- $ ./bin/lglass-web

-

-Furthermore you can use any WSGI server like Gunicorn by using lglass.web.application:app as WSGI callback. You can provide a path to the configuration file in the environment variable `LGLASS_WEB_CFG`.
