certbot-dns-azure-modern

Tests Version Python Version Docs

Maintained fork of terricain/certbot-dns-azure.

The upstream package certbot-dns-azure (last release 2.6.1, December 2024) pins certbot<4.0. Installing it next to a current certbot makes pip downgrade certbot and acme to 3.3.0, which no longer imports against pyOpenSSL >= 26 (AttributeError: module 'OpenSSL.crypto' has no attribute 'X509Extension'). This is what breaks Azure DNS certificates in Nginx Proxy Manager 2.15+ (NginxProxyManager#5606). Upstream has not responded to fixes since early 2025 (#65), hence this fork.

The Python module (certbot_dns_azure), the plugin name (dns-azure), all CLI flags and the config file format are unchanged. Only the distribution name on PyPI differs. Both packages install the same module, so replace rather than stack them: pip uninstall certbot-dns-azure && pip install -U certbot certbot-dns-azure-modern. Installing the fork on top of an existing 2.6.1 does not undo the certbot downgrade.

AzureDNS Authenticator plugin for Certbot.

This plugin is built from the ground up and follows the development style and life-cycle of other certbot-dns-* plugins found in the Official Certbot Repository. PR is open here though Certbot is not accepting plugin PR's at the moment.

Installation

Via Pip

pip3 install certbot certbot-dns-azure-modern

Nginx Proxy Manager

Override the azure entry in /app/certbot/dns-plugins.json (bind-mount a patched copy) and recreate the container, so the plugin is installed into a fresh certbot venv:

"azure": {
  "dependencies": "",
  "package_name": "certbot-dns-azure-modern",
  "version": "~=2.7.0"
}

Verify inside the container:

$ . /opt/certbot/bin/activate && certbot --version && certbot plugins --text | grep dns-azure

Via Snap

The snap in the Snap Store is published by the upstream author and still ships 2.6.1. This fork does not publish a snap.

Verification

Verify:

$ certbot plugins --text
