#Google Apps Linode DNS Script Please note: While this script was written by a Linode employee it is not endorsed nor maintained by Linode. Linode should not be contacted for support using this script or to report any bugs with the script.

License: This script is released under the MIT license.

This script aids in the creation of the MX records needed for Google Apps. You can optionally add the recommended default SPF record as well. This script uses the Linode API to create the records. So be sure to have your API key and DomainID handy.

  • Your API key can be obtained from the "My Profile" link at the top right of the Linode Manager
  • If you do not know your DomainID the script will provide you with a URL to help you obtain it.

#Using The Script

First you'll need to download the script so that you can run it:

wget "https://raw.github.com/theckman/gapps-linode-dns/master/gapps-linode-dns.sh"

or

curl -O "https://raw.github.com/theckman/gapps-linode-dns/master/gapps-linode-dns.sh"

Make the script executable:

chmod +x gapps-linode-dns.sh

Then run the script:

theckman@tron:~# ./gapps-linode-dns.sh
####################

This script requres you to enter your API key as well as provide the DomainID.
If you are unsure of the DomainID this script will provide a URL you can view in
your browser to find your DomainID.

Please visit the following URL in your web browser to obtain your DomainID:
