This DNS provider allows you to create and manage DNS entries in Cloudflare.
To use this provider you need to generate an API token from the Cloudflare dashboard. A detailed documentation to generate an API token is available at https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200167836-Managing-API-Tokens-and-Keys.
Note: You need to generate an API token and not an API key.
To generate the token make sure the token has permission of Zone:Read and DNS:Edit for all zones. Optionally you can exclude certain zones.
Note: You need to Include
All zones
in the Zone Resources
section. Setting
Specific zone
doesn't work. But you can still add one or more Exclude
s.
Generate the token and keep this key safe as it won't be shown again.
Use the token in a Secret
resource with the metadata.name
to be
cloudflare-credentials
and data.CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN
to be the token.
