Certbot DNS plugin for mijn.host service, enabling the automation of DNS-01 challenges for issuing wildcard SSL certificates. This plugin simplifies the process of obtaining and renewing SSL certificates by integrating directly with the DNS API of mijn.host Service, making it ideal for system administrators and DevOps professionals managing secure web services.
The mijn.host DNS Certbot Plugin automates SSL/TLS certificate creation by enabling DNS-01 challenges using the mijn.host API. This plugin is designed to work with the Certbot tool, allowing seamless integration for automated certificate management.
To use the plugin, you'll need the following:
You can install the plugin using pip:
pip install certbot-dns-mijn-host
| Argument | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| --authenticator | dns-mijn-host | Specifies that Certbot should use this plugin. Use dns-mijnhost as the value. |
| --dns-mijn-host-credentials | ./credentials.ini | Points to the credentials file containing your mijn.host API key. Required. |
| --dns-mijn-host-propagation-seconds | 60 | Sets the wait time in seconds before Certbot checks the TXT record. The default is 120 seconds. |
dns_mijn_host_api_key = YOUR_API_KEY
Make sure the file is stored securely and not accessible by unauthorized users.
certbot certonly \
--authenticator dns-mijn-host \
--dns-mijn-host-credentials /path/to/credentials.ini \
--dns-mijn-host-propagation-seconds 60 \
--agree-tos \
--rsa-key-size 4096 \
-d 'example.com' \
-d '*.example.com'
The plugin will create a TXT record for the DNS-01 challenge in your mijn.host DNS zone. After the challenge is verified, the plugin will delete the TXT record.
For local development and testing, it’s recommended to use a Python virtual environment:
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
pip install -e .
This will install the plugin in the local environment, allowing you to make changes without reinstalling.
When running Certbot locally, you may need to specify --logs-dir, --config-dir, and --work-dir to avoid permission issues with global directories.
If you encounter issues or have suggestions, please open an issue on the GitHub repository.
