# Setting up ExternalDNS for Services on DigitalOcean | ||
|
||
This tutorial describes how to setup ExternalDNS for usage within a Kubernetes cluster using DigitalOcean DNS. | ||
|
||
Make sure to use **>=0.4.0-alpha.2** version of ExternalDNS for this tutorial. | ||
|
||
## Creating a DigitalOcean DNS zone | ||
|
||
If you want to learn about how to use DigitalOcean's DNS service read the following tutorial series: | ||
|
||
[An Introduction to Managing DNS](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorial_series/an-introduction-to-managing-dns), and specifically [How To Set Up a Host Name with DigitalOcean DNS](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean) | ||
|
||
Create a new DNS zone where you want to create your records in. Let's use `example.com` as an example here. | ||
|
||
## Creating DigitalOcean Credentials | ||
|
||
Generate a new personal token by going to [the API settings](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/settings/api/tokens) or follow [How To Use the DigitalOcean API v2](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-digitalocean-api-v2) if you need more information. Give the token a name and choose read and write access. The token needs to be passed to ExternalDNS so make a note of it for later use. | ||
|
||
The environment variable `DO_TOKEN` will be needed to run ExternalDNS with DigitalOcean. | ||
|
||
## Deploy ExternalDNS | ||
|
||
Create a deployment file called `externaldns.yaml` with the following contents: | ||
|
||
```yaml | ||
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 | ||
kind: Deployment | ||
metadata: | ||
name: external-dns | ||
spec: | ||
strategy: | ||
type: Recreate | ||
template: | ||
metadata: | ||
labels: | ||
app: external-dns | ||
spec: | ||
containers: | ||
- name: external-dns | ||
image: registry.opensource.zalan.do/teapot/external-dns:v0.4.0-alpha.2 | ||
args: | ||
- --source=service # ingress is also possible | ||
- --domain-filter=example.com # (optional) limit to only example.com domains; change to match the zone created above. | ||
- --provider=digitalocean | ||
env: | ||
- name: DO_TOKEN | ||
value: "YOUR_DIGITALOCEAN_API_KEY" | ||
``` | ||
Create the deployment for ExternalDNS: | ||
```console | ||
$ kubectl create -f externaldns.yaml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Deploying an Nginx Service | ||
|
||
Create a service file called 'nginx.yaml' with the following contents: | ||
|
||
```yaml | ||
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1 | ||
kind: Deployment | ||
metadata: | ||
name: nginx | ||
spec: | ||
template: | ||
metadata: | ||
labels: | ||
app: nginx | ||
spec: | ||
containers: | ||
- image: nginx | ||
name: nginx | ||
ports: | ||
- containerPort: 80 | ||
--- | ||
apiVersion: v1 | ||
kind: Service | ||
metadata: | ||
name: nginx | ||
annotations: | ||
external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: my-app.example.com | ||
spec: | ||
selector: | ||
app: nginx | ||
type: LoadBalancer | ||
ports: | ||
- protocol: TCP | ||
port: 80 | ||
targetPort: 80 | ||
``` | ||
Note the annotation on the service; use the same hostname as the DigitalOcean DNS zone created above. | ||
ExternalDNS uses this annotation to determine what services should be registered with DNS. Removing the annotation will cause ExternalDNS to remove the corresponding DNS records. | ||
Create the deployment and service: | ||
```console | ||
$ kubectl create -f nginx.yaml | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Depending where you run your service it can take a little while for your cloud provider to create an external IP for the service. | ||
|
||
Once the service has an external IP assigned, ExternalDNS will notice the new service IP address and synchronize the DigitalOcean DNS records. | ||
|
||
## Verifying DigitalOcean DNS records | ||
|
||
Check your [DigitalOcean UI](https://cloud.digitalocean.com/networking/domains) to view the records for your DigitalOcean DNS zone. | ||
|
||
Click on the zone for the one created above if a different domain was used. | ||
|
||
This should show the external IP address of the service as the A record for your domain. | ||
|
||
## Cleanup | ||
|
||
Now that we have verified that ExternalDNS will automatically manage DigitalOcean DNS records, we can delete the tutorial's example: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ kubectl delete service -f nginx.yaml | ||
$ kubectl delete service -f externaldns.yaml | ||
``` |
