Question

How to add a DNS record to multiple domains via CLI on a Plesk Linux server?

Answer

  1. Log into the server via SSH.
  2. Using the command below, create the list of all domains with physical hosting enabled:

    # MYSQL_PWD=`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow` mysql -u admin psa -Ne"select name from domains where htype='vrt_hst'" > /root/domains.txt

    Note: modify /root/domains.txt and exclude the domains that should be left intact.

  3. Run the following command to add DNS record for the domains from the /root/domains.txt file:

    # cat /root/domains.txt | while read i; do plesk bin dns --add $i -ns ns3 -nameserver example.net;done

    Note: in the example above the name server example.net will be added for all domains from the /root/domains.txt file.

    For additional options for adding DNS records via CLI please refer: dns: DNS Zones on Domains .

    Hello

    very nice tutotial..

    Can you help me? i need to do this but i need to add in bulk this cname :

    www.domain.com --> CNAME --> domain.com

    The domains.txt is perfect.,

    But i can get to work the other part in this case.

    YOUR EXAMPLE 
    mail1.<domain.name> --> CNAME --> webmail.<domain.name> 
    WITH THIS COMMAND :
    # cat /root/domains.txt | while read i; do plesk bin dns --add $i -cname mail1 -canonical  webmail.$i ;done


    In my case, the canonical parameter is the same domain, in this case $i

    so I´ve tried :
    # cat /root/domains.txt | while read i; do plesk bin dns --add $i -cname www -canonical  $i ;done

    and get ERROR


    Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks
    Fabian

    Hi Fabian Marsiglione,

    Because for www record, this is added automatically when enabling/disabling www support for the domain:

    # plesk bin subscription -u example.com -www true/false
