What API Permission Does NextCloud Need?
Hi, first time user here and I'm reading through the instructions on how to deploy Nextcloud here.
I am trying to figure out what permissions should I enable/disable for this first time install?
The documentation doesn't specify anything other than, "The Nextcloud Marketplace App needs a Linode API v4 token to create a domain name system (DNS) record for the Nextcloud instance."
It would be nice if someone can assist me with this, as I do not want to give unneeded permissions from the start.
Thanks!

Hi there @bionicworx, welcome to the Linode community!
The Nextcloud Marketplace App needs a Linode API v4 token to create a domain name system (DNS) record for the Nextcloud instance
Just from this text, I would expect it needs read/write permissions for Domains (which is the section that holds the DNS records.)
This is assuming of course you have a domain already added to Linode. If you have a domain hosted elsewhere, you would need to add an A (and AAAA for IPv6) record for your new Linode manually with your domain’s DNS provider.
