Linode Provider

Configuration

In your credentials file, you must provide your Linode Personal Access Token

{
  "linode": {
    "token": "your-linode-personal-access-token"
  }
}

Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Linode.

Usage

Example Javascript:

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE')
var LINODE = NewDnsProvider("linode", "LINODE");

D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(LINODE),
    A("test","1.2.3.4")
);

Activation

Create Personal Access Token

Caveats

Linode does not allow all TTLs, but only a specific subset of TTLs. The following TTLs are supported (source):

  • 300
  • 3600
  • 7200
  • 14400
  • 28800
  • 57600
  • 86400
  • 172800
  • 345600
  • 604800
  • 1209600
  • 2419200

The provider will automatically round up your TTL to one of these values. For example, 600 seconds would become 3600 seconds, but 300 seconds would stay 300 seconds.
