# OVH DNS Update
<!-- action-docs-description -->
## Description
Update a given DNS record using the OVH API.
<!-- action-docs-description -->
<!-- action-docs-inputs -->
## Inputs
| parameter | description | required | default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| subdomain | The subdomain to update (e.g. _release) | `true` | |
| domain | The domain (zoneName in the OVH API) | `true` | |
| record-id | The ID of the record to update | `true` | |
| value | The TXT value to set | `true` | |
| ovh-endpoint | The OVH API endpoint | `false` | `ovh-eu` |
| ovh-app-key | The OVH API Application Key | `true` | |
| ovh-app-secret | The OVH API Application Secret | `true` | |
| ovh-consumer-key | The OVH API Consumer Key | `true` | |
<!-- action-docs-inputs -->
## Security notice
You should create restricted credentials for only the specific record you want to update. See https://api.ovh.com/console/#/domain/zone/%7BzoneName%7D/record~GET to retrieve its `record-id` and then visit https://www.ovh.com/auth/api/createToken?PUT=/domain/zone/{domain}/record/{record-id} (replacing the placeholders) to create dedicated credentials.
**However be aware that the credentials can also update the subdmain!** This means that anyone with this credentials can publish a TXT record under any `subdomain` of the `domain` (for instance to get a signed certificate by completing the [DNS challenge of the ACME protocol](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-types/#dns-01-challenge)).
To mitigate this issue, [forgejo.org decided to use a dedicated `domain`](https://codeberg.org/forgejo/infrastructure-as-code/issues/5) with only TXT records (and CNAME records on the main `domain`, which points to those TXT records).
## Example
```
on: [tag]
jobs:
upload-release:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: https://code.forgejo.org/actions/setup-go@v4
with:
go-version: ">=1.21"
check-latest: true
- uses: actions/forgejo-release@v1
with:
subdomain: _release
domain: example.org
record-id: 12345
value: v=${{ github.ref_name }}
ovh-app-key: ${{ secrets.OVH_APP_KEY }}
ovh-app-secret: ${{ secrets.OVH_APP_SECRET }}
ovh-consumer-key: ${{ secrets.OVH_CON_KEY }}
```
