Description

Create the record in Linode.

Plugins needs to be unpacked into a folder called %programdata%\simple-acme\plugins. Depending on how you downloaded the file, you may have to unblock the .dll files before your computer will trust them. You can do that from the File Explorer by using the right mouse button and then checking the `Unblock` box on the General tab.

To verify that the plugin is properly installed you can start the main executable with ‑‑verbose and it will print information about found and loaded plugins at start up. When the plugin is loaded, it manifests itself as extra menu choices and command line parameters being made availalbe.

All releases published to third party package managers like Chocolatey and NuGet support plugins, but if you download simple-acme manually, you must choose a pluggable version instead of the trimmed one to use it.

Command line

--validation linode Activates the plugin
‑‑apitoken Linode Personal Access Token.
