certbot-dns-hostingnl

hostingnl DNS Authenticator plugin for Certbot.

This plugin automates the process of completing a DNS-01 challenge by creating, and subsequently removing, TXT records using the hostingnl API end-points.

Installation

pip install certbot-dns-hostingnl

Named Arguments

To start using DNS authentication for hostingnl, pass the following arguments on Certbot's command line:

Option	Description
--authenticator dns-hostingnl	Select the authenticator plugin (Required)
--dns-hostingnl-credentials FILE	hostingnl credentials INI file. (Default is /etc/letsencrypt/hostingnl.ini)
--dns-hostingnl-propagation-seconds NUM	How long to wait before veryfing the written TXT challenges. (Default is 120)

Credentials

Use of this plugin requires a configuration file containing your hostingnl API key.
The token can be obtained from the hostingnl API settings page.

An example hostingnl.ini file:

dns_hostingnl_api_key = <api_key>

The default path to this file is set to /etc/letsencrypt/hostingnl.ini, but this can can be changed using the --dns-hostingnl-credentials command-line argument.

CAUTION: You should protect these API credentials as you would the password to your hostingnl account (e.g., by using a command like chmod 600 to restrict access to the file).

Examples

To acquire a single certificate for both example.com and *.example.com, waiting 900 seconds for DNS propagation:

certbot certonly \
  --authenticator dns-hostingnl \
  --dns-hostingnl-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/hostingnl.ini \
  --dns-hostingnl-propagation-seconds 900 \
  --keep-until-expiring --non-interactive --expand \
  --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
  -d 'example.com' \
  -d '*.example.com'
