As a Fediversity user,
I want to use selected sub-domains for my services,
so that I may configure the URLs to my visitors' needs.

implementation notes

clients / utils

clients
- octodns
  - wiki
  - providers
  - TF
  - given an API spec may generate client for python
  - may (without TF) be configured using NixOS-DNS (source)
- DNS control (wiki, providers)
- ~~clan dyndns module~~: tied to their service
- godns (module, providers)
utilities
- dns.nix: zone files
- nixcloud-webservices: helpers to generate strings for a few resource records

v client / > server	hickory	acme	bind	technitium	powerdns
octodns			✅		✅
DNS control			✅	?	✅

~~| godns | | | | | |~~

given this compatibility matrix, the path of least resistance to automating DNS would seem server bind (optionally with client octodns (thru TF / NixOS-DNS)).

open questions

should we integrate with external registrars / DNS providers (e.g. openprovider)?

Have a way to make requests to the DNS service so that subdomains can be pointed to the right IP #109

This needs to be rewritten to a user story instead of being phrased in terms of implementation details. If I try imagining what it would be like, I don't see the difference to #109. Isn't all of this actually about being able to (register and then) select a DNS record before deployment?
