Solving the DNS-01 challenge using an external program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<!--more-->
|
|
|
|
- Code: `exec`
|
|
- Since: v0.5.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is an example bash command using the External program provider:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
EXEC_PATH=/the/path/to/myscript.sh \
|
|
lego --email you@example.com --dns exec --domains my.example.org run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Base Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Environment Variable Name | Description |
|
|
|---------------------------|---------------------------------------|
|
|
| `EXEC_MODE` | `RAW`, none |
|
|
| `EXEC_PATH` | The path of the the external program. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Additional Configuration
|
|
|
|
| Environment Variable Name | Description |
|
|
|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `EXEC_POLLING_INTERVAL` | Time between DNS propagation check. |
|
|
| `EXEC_PROPAGATION_TIMEOUT` | Maximum waiting time for DNS propagation. |
|
|
| `EXEC_SEQUENCE_INTERVAL` | Time between sequential requests. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The file name of the external program is specified in the environment variable `EXEC_PATH`.
|
|
|
|
When it is run by lego, three command-line parameters are passed to it:
|
|
The action ("present" or "cleanup"), the fully-qualified domain name and the value for the record.
|
|
|
|
For example, requesting a certificate for the domain 'my.example.org' can be achieved by calling lego as follows:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
EXEC_PATH=./update-dns.sh \
|
|
lego --email you@example.com \
|
|
--dns exec \
|
|
--domains my.example.org run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will then call the program './update-dns.sh' with like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./update-dns.sh "present" "_acme-challenge.my.example.org." "MsijOYZxqyjGnFGwhjrhfg-Xgbl5r68WPda0J9EgqqI"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The program then needs to make sure the record is inserted.
|
|
When it returns an error via a non-zero exit code, lego aborts.
|
|
|
|
When the record is to be removed again,
|
|
the program is called with the first command-line parameter set to `cleanup` instead of `present`.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the raw domain, token, and keyAuth values with your program, you can set `EXEC_MODE=RAW`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
EXEC_MODE=RAW \
|
|
EXEC_PATH=./update-dns.sh \
|
|
lego --email you@example.com \
|
|
--dns exec \
|
|
--domains my.example.org run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It will then call the program `./update-dns.sh` like this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./update-dns.sh "present" "my.example.org." "--" "some-token" "KxAy-J3NwUmg9ZQuM-gP_Mq1nStaYSaP9tYQs5_-YsE.ksT-qywTd8058G-SHHWA3RAN72Pr0yWtPYmmY5UBpQ8"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
{{% notice note %}}
|
|
The `--` is because the token MAY start with a `-`, and the called program may try and interpret a `-` as indicating a flag.
|
|
In the case of urfave, which is commonly used,
|
|
you can use the `--` delimiter to specify the start of positional arguments, and handle such a string safely.
