certbot certonly \
  --authenticator dns-synergy-wholesale \
  --dns-synergy-wholesale-credentials /path/to/credentials.ini \
  -d 'example.com' \
  -d '*.example.com'

You can also add addtional paramaters such as --keep-until-expiring --non-interactive --expand for automation. More information here

Docker

You can build a docker image from source using the included Dockerfile or pull the latest version directly from Docker Hub:

docker pull alamellama/certbot-dns-synergy-wholesale

Once that's finished, the application can be run as follows:

docker run --rm \
  -v /var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt \
  -v /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
  --cap-drop=all \
  alamellama/certbot-dns-synergy-wholesale certbot certonly \
    --authenticator dns-synergy-wholesale \
    --dns-synergy-wholesale-credentials /var/lib/letsencrypt/credentials.ini \
    --keep-until-expiring --non-interactive --expand \
    --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
    --agree-tos --email "[e-mail]" \
    -d example.com -d '*.example.com'

You may want to change the volumes /var/lib/letsencrypt and /etc/letsencrypt to local directories where the certificates and configuration should be stored.
