## Installation

### via `snap`

Using the `certbot` snap is the easiest way to use this plugin. See [here](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=snap) for instructions on installing Certbot via `snap`.

```bash
sudo snap install certbot-dns-multi
sudo snap set certbot trust-plugin-with-root=ok
sudo snap connect certbot:plugin certbot-dns-multi
```

### via `pip`

Compiled wheels [are available](https://pypi.org/project/certbot-dns-multi/#files) for most `x86_64`/`amd64` Linux distributions. On other platforms, `pip` will try to compile the plugin, which requires [Go 1.19 or newer](https://go.dev/dl) to be installed on your server.

| How did you install Certbot? | How to install the plugin |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| From `snap` | Don't use `pip`! Use the snap instructions above. |
| Using the [official Certbot `pip` instructions](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws=other&os=pip) | `sudo /opt/certbot/bin/pip install certbot-dns-multi` |
| From `apt`, `yum`, `dnf` or any other distro package manager. (Requires Certbot 1.12.0 or newer.) | `pip install certbot-dns-multi` |

### via `docker`

Docker images for `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64` are available from [`ghcr.io/alexzorin/certbot-dns-multi`](https://ghcr.io/alexzorin/certbot-dns-multi).

e.g.

```bash
docker run --rm -it -v /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
ghcr.io/alexzorin/certbot-dns-multi certonly \
-a dns-multi --dns-multi-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/dns-multi.ini \
-d "*.example.com" -d "example.com" --dry-run
```

## Usage

`certbot-dns-multi` is controlled via a credentials file.

1. Head to https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/ and find your DNS provider in the list.
In this example, we'll use `cloudflare`.
2. Create `/etc/letsencrypt/dns-multi.ini` and enter the name of your provider, all lowercase, as below:

```ini
dns_multi_provider = cloudflare
```

3. Following the instructions on https://go-acme.github.io/lego/dns/cloudflare/, we add the required configuration items:

```ini
dns_multi_provider = cloudflare
CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
```

4. Save the file and secure it:

```bash
chmod 0600 /etc/letsencrypt/dns-multi.ini
```

5. Try issue a certificate now:

```bash
certbot certonly -a dns-multi \
--dns-multi-credentials=/etc/letsencrypt/dns-multi.ini \
-d "*.example.com" \
--dry-run
```

6. 🥳, or if not, ask on [the community forums](https://community.letsencrypt.org/) for help.
