Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade dnscontrol -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.2.3'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade dnscontrol -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'0.2.3'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

DnsControl is an opinionated platform for seamlessly managing your DNS configuration across any number of DNS hosts, both in the cloud or in your own infrastructure. It manages all of the domains for the Stack Overflow network, and can do the same for your.

Features

  • Maintain your DNS data as high-level DS, with macros, and variables for easier updates.
  • Eliminate vendor lock-in. Switch DNS providers easily, any time, with full fidelity.
  • Supports 10+ DNS Providers including BIND, AWS Route 53, Google DNS, and name.com
  • All the benefits of Git (or any VCS) for your DNS zone data. View history. Accept PRs.
  • Runs on Linux, Windows, Mac, or any operating system supported by Go.
  • Assign an IP address to a constant and use the variable name throughout the configuration. Need to change the IP address globally? Just change the variable and "recompile."
  • Super extensible! Plug-in architecture makes adding new DNS providers and Registrars easy!
  • Reduce point of failure: Easily maintain dual DNS providers and easily drop one that is down.
  • Apply CI/CD principles to DNS: Unit-tests, system-tests, automated deployment.
  • Optimize DNS with SPF optimizer. Detect too many lookups. Flatten includes.
  • Enable/disable Cloudflare proxying (the "orange cloud" button) directly from your DNSControl files.
  • Keep similar domains in sync with transforms, macros, and variables.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
