DNSimple Setup

The Pulumi DNSimple provider uses the DNSimple SDK to manage and provision resources.

Pulumi relies on the DNSimple SDK to authenticate requests from your computer to DNSimple. Your credentials are never sent to pulumi.com.

The Pulumi DNSimple Provider needs to be configured with DNSimple credentials before it can be used to create resources.

Configuring Credentials

Once obtained, there are two ways to communicate your authorization tokens to Pulumi:

1. Set the environment variable DNSIMPLE_TOKEN and DNSIMPLE_ACCOUNT:

   $ export DNSIMPLE_TOKEN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
   $ export DNSIMPLE_ACCOUNT=YYYYYYYYYYYYYY

2. Set them using configuration, if you prefer that they be stored alongside your Pulumi stack for easy multi-user access:

   $ pulumi config set dnsimple:token XXXXXXXXXXXXXX --secret
   $ pulumi config set dnsimple:account YYYYYYYYYYYYYY --secret

Remember to pass --secret when setting dnsimple:token and dnsimple:account so that they are properly encrypted. A full set of configuration parameters can be found listed on the Project README.
