Description

Static templates using A records for website hosting with automatic SSL.
This Templates adds a Domain Connect DNS template for LetsSport Play to automate DNS configuration for the subdomain play.letssport.in.
The template enables one-click setup at supported registrars by creating the required A records.

Type of change

Please mark options that are relevant.

  • New template
  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue in the template)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality to the template)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing template behavior to be not backward compatible)

How Has This Been Tested?

Please mark the following checks done

  • Schema validated using JSON Schema template.schema
  • Template functionality checked using Online Editor
  • Template is checked using template linter
  • Template file name follows the pattern <providerId>.<serviceId>.json
  • [X ] resource URL provided with logoUrl is actually served by a webserver

Checklist of common prolems of issues (mark all the checkboxes after conducting the check). Comment on any point which is not fulfilled.

  • digital signatures are used and syncPubKeyDomain specified (yes, warnPhishing is an option, but some providers reject such templates by policy, so signing shall be a default)
  • syncRedirectDomain is specified when intended to use redirect_uri parameter in the synchronous flow
  • no TXT record with SPF content (i.e. "v=spf1 ...") instead of using SPFM record type on APEX
  • txtConflictMatchingMode is set on TXT records which shall be unique on a label (like DMARC)
  • variables are set to the smallest scope needed (i.e. limit possibility to be misused to set any arbitrary record and conflict with other template). Too broad scope example: @ TXT "%verification%". Better usage: @ TXT "foo-verification=%verification%".
  • no variables as a host name to apply template on subdomain instead of standard host parameter
  • no explicit usage of %host% variable in host attribute
  • essential setting is used on records, which the user shall be able to change or remove manually later without dropping the whole template (like DMARC)

Could you explain why two nearly identical templates are needed? I can see the subdomain template has hostRequired: true but surely the primary template can do the same job if/when a host is supplied. Am I missing something?

Good question! I checked the Domain Connect specification and unfortunately ONE template cannot handle
both cases.

According to the spec:

When hostRequired: false (or not set):

  • Template applies to apex domain only
  • @ resolves to example.com

When hostRequired: true:

  • Template REQUIRES a host/subdomain parameter
  • @ resolves to subdomain.example.com
  • Cannot be applied to bare apex domain

So the behavior is:

Template hostRequired Result
webbuilder false @example.com
webbuilder true Requires host, can't do apex ❌
webbuilder-subdomain true @ + host=app → app.example.com

This is why services like Framer also have two separate templates:

  • framer.com.domain.json (apex)
  • framer.com.subdomain.json (subdomain with hostRequired:true)

@ysuniltechovarya This approach is needed if a template uses CNAMEs on @ host, as such CNAME cannot be put on APEX. Otherwise one template can work.

Please fill in PR description in its entirety.
Do some testing with Online Editor to see how template behaves in both cases.

BTW: some providers will reject templates without signing even if static - so consider adding it from the start (not blocking review though, if you know what you do).

You are right. i had remove duplicate template and will go with primary template which can do the same job.

Looks ok, but before merge have you considered adding syncPubKeyDomain to the template? Many of the DNS Providers require it. See also: https://github.com/Domain-Connect/spec/blob/draft-ietf-dconn-domainconnect-00/draft-ietf-dconn-domainconnect-00.adoc#632-security-considerations

Added a CNAME record for www to point to proxy-ssl.agencyeasy.com.

Great. What about points without check mark on the Checklist? If a point is not applicable just set a check as well.
