From this release, ExternalDNS can become aware of the records it is managing (enabled via `--registry=txt`), therefore ExternalDNS can safely manage non-empty hosted zones. We strongly encourage you to use `v0.5` (or greater) with `--registry=txt` enabled and `--txt-owner-id` set to a unique value that doesn't change for the lifetime of your cluster. You might also want to run ExternalDNS in a dry run mode (`--dry-run` flag) to see the changes to be submitted to your DNS Provider API.

# Setting up ExternalDNS for Netcup

This tutorial describes how to setup ExternalDNS for usage within a Kubernetes cluster using Netcup.

Make sure to use **master** version of ExternalDNS for this tutorial.

## Creating Netcup Credentials

A secret containing the a Netcup API token and an API Password is needed for this provider. You can get a token for your user [here](https://www.customercontrolpanel.de/daten_aendern.php?sprung=api).

To create the API token secret you can run `kubectl create secret generic netcup-api-key --from-literal=EXTERNAL_DNS_NETCUP_API_KEY=<replace-with-your-access-token>`.

To create the API password secret you can run `kubectl create secret generic netcup-api-password --from-literal=EXTERNAL_DNS_NETCUP_API_PASSWORD=<replace-with-your-access-token>`.

## Deploy ExternalDNS

Connect your `kubectl` client to the cluster you want to test ExternalDNS with.

Besides the API key and password, it is mandatory to provide a customer id as well as a list of DNS zones you want ExternalDNS to manage. The hosted DNS zones will be provides via the `--domain-filter`.

Then apply one of the following manifests file to deploy ExternalDNS.

### Manifest (for clusters without RBAC enabled)

```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: external-dns
spec:
strategy:
type: Recreate
selector:
matchLabels:
app: external-dns

- --provider=netcup
- --domain-filter="example.com"
- --netcup-customer-id="123456"
env:
- name: EXTERNAL_DNS_NETCUP_API_KEY
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:
key: EXTERNAL_DNS_NETCUP_API_KEY
name: netcup-api-key
- name: EXTERNAL_DNS_NETCUP_API_PASSWORD
valueFrom:
secretKeyRef:

name: netcup-api-password

```

```
## Deploying an Nginx Service
Create a service file called 'nginx.yaml' with the following contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: nginx
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app: nginx
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: 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 Netcup DNS zone created above. The annotation may also be a subdomain
of the DNS zone (e.g. 'www.example.com').
By setting the TTL annotation on the service, you have to pass a valid TTL, which must be 120 or above.
This annotation is optional, if you won't set it, it will be 1 (automatic) which is 300.
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:
```
$ 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 Netcup DNS records.

## Verifying Netcup DNS records

Check your [Netcup domain overview](https://www.customercontrolpanel.de/domains.php) to view the domains associated with your Netcup account. There you can view the records for each domain.

The records 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 Netcup DNS records, we can delete the tutorial's example:

```
$ kubectl delete -f nginx.yaml
$ kubectl delete -f externaldns.yaml
