## Configuration
To use this provider, add an entry to `creds.json` with `TYPE` set to `LINODE`
along with your [Linode Personal Access Token](https://cloud.linode.com/profile/tokens).
Example:
```json
{
"linode": {
"TYPE": "LINODE",
"token": "your-linode-personal-access-token"
}
}
```
## Metadata
This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Linode.
## Usage
An example `dnsconfig.js` configuration:
```javascript
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");
var DSP_LINODE = NewDnsProvider("linode");
D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DSP_LINODE),
A("test", "1.2.3.4")
);
```
## Activation
[Create Personal Access Token](https://cloud.linode.com/profile/tokens)
## Caveats
Linode does not allow all TTLs, but only a specific subset of TTLs. The following TTLs are supported
([source](https://github.com/linode/manager/blob/master/src/domains/components/SelectDNSSeconds.js)):
- 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.
