The unifi_dns_record resource manages DNS records in the UniFi controller's DNS server.

This resource allows you to configure various types of DNS records for local name resolution. Common use cases include:

  • Creating A records for local servers and devices
  • Setting up CNAME aliases for internal services
  • Configuring MX records for local mail servers
  • Adding TXT records for service verification

Example Usage

resource "unifi_dns_record" "a_record" {
    name   = "example.mydomain.com"
    type   = "A"
    record = "192.168.1.190"
}

resource "unifi_dns_record" "cname_record" {
    name   = "example.mydomain.com"
    type   = "CNAME"
    record = "example.com"
}

Schema

Required

  • name (String) DNS record name.
  • record (String) The content of the DNS record. The expected value depends on the record type:
    • For A records: IPv4 address (e.g., '192.168.1.10')
    • For AAAA records: IPv6 address
    • For CNAME records: Canonical name (e.g., 'server1.example.com')
    • For MX records: Mail server hostname
    • For TXT records: Text content (e.g., 'v=spf1 include:_spf.example.com ~all')
  • type (String) The type of DNS record. Valid values are:
    • A - Maps a hostname to IPv4 address
    • AAAA - Maps a hostname to IPv6 address
    • CNAME - Creates an alias for another domain name
    • MX - Specifies mail servers for the domain
    • NS - Delegates a subdomain to a set of name servers
    • PTR - Creates a pointer to a canonical name (reverse DNS)
    • SOA - Specifies authoritative information about the domain
    • SRV - Specifies location of services (hostname and port)
    • TXT - Holds descriptive text

Optional

  • enabled (Boolean) Whether the DNS record is active. Defaults to true. Set to false to temporarily disable resolution without removing the record.
  • port (Number) The port number for SRV records. Valid values are between 1 and 65535. Only used with SRV records.
  • priority (Number) Priority value for MX and SRV records. Lower values indicate higher priority. Required for MX and SRV records, ignored for other types.
  • site (String) The name of the UniFi site where this resource should be applied. If not specified, the default site will be used.
  • ttl (Number) Time To Live (TTL) in seconds, determines how long DNS resolvers should cache this record. Set to 0 for automatic TTL. Common values: 300 (5 minutes), 3600 (1 hour), 86400 (1 day).
  • weight (Number) A relative weight for SRV records with the same priority. Higher values get proportionally more traffic. Only used with SRV records.

Read-Only

  • id (String) The unique identifier of this resource.
