The error above basically says that ExternalDNS wasn't able to access the webhook (probably because the webhook container is stuck waiting to be created).

Did you create a secret and ensure it exists in Kubernetes that contains your secret name external-dns-unifi-secret with username & password keys? Don't forget to check and make sure that external-dns and the secret are running in the same namespace.

You where correct. I made a mistake with creating the secret. My bad. Thank you for your quick reply
