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
git clone https://github.com/rancher/rdns-server.git
cd rdns-server
docker-compose -f deploy/etcdv3/etcd-compose.yaml up -d
ETCD was successfully deployed on
http://172.31.35.77:2379
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
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.

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

$ kubectl run -it --rm --restart=Never --image=infoblox/dnstools:latest dnstools
