As of June 2020, Vercel has added a GUI for managing DNS records.
Vercel Now (formerly ZEIT Now) is awesome, but one of the features that's missing is a GUI interface to edit and configure DNS records. It's actually
not even clear this is possible in the dashboard, but luckily there's a set of commands you can use with the CLI.
First off, if you haven't already install and authenticated in the now cli, you'll want to do that:
npm install -g now && now # Will prompt to loginOnce you're logged in, you can use the commands in the now dns namespace.
now dns add <domain> <name> <record type> <value> [mx_priority]<domain> is the address owned by the user and previously registered with zeit.world by using the commands now domain add zeit.rocks or now alias<name> is the subdomain that will be prefixed to <domain> (@ as a <name> refers to the domain without any prefix)<record type> contains one of the supported record types shown above<value> indicates the target of the record (like an IP address or a hostname)[mx_priority] sets the priority of a certain MX record and can therefore only be used in conjunction with this record typeHere's a few examples of commands that might be helpful.
Add a record for a subdomain
$ now dns add <DOMAIN> <SUBDOMAIN> <A | AAAA | ALIAS | CNAME | TXT> <VALUE>
$ now dns add zeit.rocks api A 198.51.100.100Add a MX record (@ as a name refers to the domain)
$ now dns add <DOMAIN> '@' MX <RECORD VALUE> <PRIORITY>
$ now dns add domain.com '@' MX mx1.improvmx.com 10 Add a SRV record
$ now dns add <DOMAIN> <NAME> SRV <PRIORITY> <WEIGHT> <PORT> <TARGET>
$ now dns add zeit.rocks '@' SRV 10 0 389 zeit.partyRemove a MX record
$ now dns ls # Show the records, and copy the ID you wish to remove
$ now dns rm rec_92bd1b1e4311ffd93e4a2cae # ID from previous stepIf you're building a tool that integrates directly with Vercel Now, you could also manage the DNS records directly through the API. You can find the endpoint documentation here.
