slicehost
= Slicehost Helper API
This library provides a simple set of helper methods to manage slices and DNS zones/records on your Slicehost account (http://slicehost.com).
== Capistrano tasks
There are two capistrano tasks: cap slicehost:zone:add # Create DNS zone cap slicehost:zone:mx:google # Add Google Apps MX records
To your config/deploy.rb, add the following:
require "slicehost/recipes/capistrano" if Capistrano::Version::MAJOR >= 2
# Used to setup/update DNS registry of url => ip
set :domain_mapping, "myurl.com" => "123.456.789.012"
== Underlying API
The current API is very alpha. It was just the simplest thing that worked. There are unit tests demonstrating it working and everything.
Future releases will have a nicer, class-based API.
