About alicloud-network-dns-cli
A CLI skill for querying and managing Alibaba Cloud DNS records with aliyun-cli. It also describes the CNAME setup used to connect Function Compute custom domains.
Key features
- 01Install aliyun-cli without sudo
- 02Configure credentials and region
- 03Query subdomain DNS records
- 04Add CNAME records
Use cases
- 01Inspect records for a subdomain
- 02Create a CNAME for an FC custom domain
- 03Check DNS setup before creating an FC domain
Install

Details
From the project READMECategory: tool
Alibaba Cloud DNS (Alidns) CLI
Goals
- Query and manage Alibaba Cloud DNS records via
aliyun-cli. - Quickly configure CNAME for Function Compute custom domains.
When to Use
- When you need to add/update DNS records in Alibaba Cloud DNS.
- When you need CNAME setup for FC custom domains.
Install aliyun-cli (without sudo)
curl -fsSL https://aliyuncli.alicdn.com/aliyun-cli-linux-latest-amd64.tgz -o /tmp/aliyun-cli.tgz
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
tar -xzf /tmp/aliyun-cli.tgz -C /tmp
mv /tmp/aliyun ~/.local/bin/aliyun
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/aliyun
Configure Credentials
~/.local/bin/aliyun configure set \
--profile default \
--access-key-id <AK> \
--access-key-secret <SK> \
--region cn-hangzhou
Configure region as default; if best region is unclear, ask the user.
Query DNS Records
Query subdomain records:
~/.local/bin/aliyun alidns DescribeSubDomainRecords \
--SubDomain news.example.com
Add CNAME Record
~/.local/bin/aliyun alidns AddDomainRecord \
--DomainName example.com \
--RR news \
--Type CNAME \
--Value <TARGET>
FC Custom Domain CNAME Target
Custom domain should point to FC public CNAME:
<account_id>.<region_id>.fc.aliyuncs.com
Example (Hangzhou):
1629965279769872.cn-hangzhou.fc.aliyuncs.com
Common Issues
- If apex CNAME is not supported, use subdomain like
wwwor ALIAS/ANAME records. - Create FC custom domain only after DNS propagation, otherwise
DomainNameNotResolvedmay occur.

Validation
mkdir -p output/alicloud-network-dns-cli
echo "validation_placeholder" > output/alicloud-network-dns-cli/validate.txt
Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/alicloud-network-dns-cli/validate.txt is generated.
Output And Evidence
- Save artifacts, command outputs, and API response summaries under
output/alicloud-network-dns-cli/. - Include key parameters (region/resource id/time range) in evidence files for reproducibility.
Prerequisites
- Configure least-privilege Alibaba Cloud credentials before execution.
- Prefer environment variables:
ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID,ALICLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, optionalALICLOUD_REGION_ID. - If region is unclear, ask the user before running mutating operations.
Workflow
- Confirm user intent, region, identifiers, and whether the operation is read-only or mutating.
- Run one minimal read-only query first to verify connectivity and permissions.
- Execute the target operation with explicit parameters and bounded scope.
- Verify results and save output/evidence files.
