# PDA-New

A from-the-ground-up rewrite and reimplementation of PowerDNS-Admin

Like its predecessor, it will communicate with PDNS via the latter's web API, and add user access control and a proper web frontend.

## Requirements
A system capable of running python.

## Building

Use python to create a virtual environment, then activate it:
```
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```

Use pip to install the required modules:
```
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install -f src/requirements.txt
```

Test if your installation works:
```
python3 src/manage.py test
```

## Installation

Run it manually via:
```
python3 src/manage.py runserver
```

For production environments, gunicorn or a similar UWSGI implementation, preferably using a webserver as a proxy is recommended.
