## Installation

![python 3.13.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/python%203.13.x-tested-blue) ![python 3.11.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/python%203.11.x-tested-blue) ![python 3.10.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/python%203.10.x-tested-blue)

This module can be installed from [pypi](https://pypi.org/project/unbound_console/) website.

This command will install the module with yaml support for loading zone data.

```python
pip install unbound_console[yaml]
```

If loading a zone using yaml is not required use the following command, zone data can instead be loaded through the `LocalZone` object:

```python
pip install unbound_console
```

## Remote Control on Unbound

![unbound 1.22.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/unbound%201.22.x-tested-green) ![unbound 1.21.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/unbound%201.21.x-tested-green) ![unbound 1.20.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/unbound%201.20.x-tested-green) ![unbound 1.19.x](https://img.shields.io/badge/unbound%201.19.x-tested-green)

Before to use this utility. You must activate the remote control on your unbound server.
See [config file](https://github.com/dmachard/python-unbound-console/blob/master/testsdata/unbound_tls.conf) example.

### Execute command

You can execute commands with the function `send_command`. See [nlnetlabs documentations](https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/documentation/unbound/unbound-control/) for the full list of available commands.

- Import the module in your code

```python
from unbound_console import RemoteControl
```

> An asyncio implementation is available, use `RemoteControlAsync` instead.

- Configure the remote control client with tls support. You can also provide a unix socket `unix_sock="/var/run/unbound-console.sock"`.

```python
rc = RemoteControl(host="127.0.0.1", port=8953,
                   server_cert = "/etc/unbound/unbound_server.pem",
                   client_cert= "/etc/unbound/unbound_control.pem",
                   client_key= "/etc/unbound/unbound_control.key")
```

- Execute a command and get output

```python
o = rc.send_command(cmd="status")
print(o)
```

### Loading zone from YAML file

YAML zone definition example:

> This requires installing unbound_console with yaml support

```
zone:
  name: home.
  type: static
  records:
    - "router.home. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.1"
    - "192.168.0.1 86400 IN PTR router.test."
```

Call `load_zone` with the yaml file to load-it in your unbound server.

```python
o = rc.load_zone(zone_data='<yaml content>')
print(o)
```

### Loading zone from "LocalZone" object

Example loading from a `LocalZone` object:

```python
from unbound_console import LocalZone

zone = LocalZone(
    name="home",
    type="static",
    records=[
      "router.home. 86400 IN A 192.168.0.1",
      "192.168.0.1 86400 IN PTR router.test.",
    ],
)
o = rc.load_zone(zone_data=zone)
print(o)
```

### Execute bulk command

```python
domains_bulk = []
domains_bulk.append( "www.google.com always_nxdomain")

o = rc.send_command(cmd="local_zones", data_list=domains_bulk)
print(o)
```
