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.

Azure DNS authenticator plugin for Certbot. It follows the conventions of the certbot-dns-* plugins in the Certbot repository; Certbot itself does not take third-party plugins, so it is distributed separately.

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": "~=2.8.0"
}

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
