Creating Linode Credentials​

Generate a new oauth token by following the instructions at Access-and-Authentication

Set environment variable for the token:

LINODE_TOKEN="<your-token-here>"

The environment variable LINODE_TOKEN will be needed to run ExternalDNS with Linode.

Create the values.yaml file​

tee values.yaml<<EOF
cluster:
  name: otomi
  provider: linode
  domainSuffix: linode.example.com
otomi:
  hasExternalDNS: true
  version: linode-dns
dns:
  domainFilters: 
    - example.com
  provider:
    linode:
      apiToken: $LINODE_TOKEN
apps:
  cert-manager:
    issuer: letsencrypt
    stage: production
    email: admin@example.com
EOF

And adjust the domainSuffix, domainFilters and email.
