Linode Provider

Configuration

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

{% highlight json %} { "linode": { "token": "your-linode-personal-access-token" } } {% endhighlight %}

Metadata

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

Usage

Example Javascript:

{% highlight js %} var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE') var LINODE = NewDnsProvider("linode", "LINODE");

D("example.tld", REG_NONE, DnsProvider(LINODE), A("test","1.2.3.4") ); {%endhighlight%}

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.
