Installation

via snap

Using the certbot snap is the easiest way to use this plugin. See here for instructions on installing Certbot via snap.

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 for most x86_64/amd64 Linux distributions for Python 3.11+. On other platforms, pip will try to compile the plugin, which requires Go 1.24 or newer 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	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.

e.g.

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:

   dns_multi_provider = cloudflare
   

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

   dns_multi_provider = cloudflare
   CLOUDFLARE_DNS_API_TOKEN="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
   

4. Save the file and secure it:

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

5. Try issue a certificate now:

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