Configuration and Credentials

Credentials and DNS configuration for DNS providers must be passed through environment variables.

Environment Variables: Value

The environment variables can reference a value.

Here is an example bash command using the Cloudflare DNS provider:

$ CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL=you@example.com \
  CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=b9841238feb177a84330febba8a83208921177bffe733 \
  lego --dns cloudflare --domains www.example.com --email you@example.com run

Environment Variables: File

The environment variables can reference a path to file.

In this case the name of environment variable must be suffixed by _FILE.

{{% notice note %}} The file must contain only the value. {{% /notice %}}

Here is an example bash command using the CloudFlare DNS provider:

$ cat /the/path/to/my/key
b9841238feb177a84330febba8a83208921177bffe733

$ cat /the/path/to/my/email
you@example.com

$ CLOUDFLARE_EMAIL_FILE=/the/path/to/my/email \
  CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY_FILE=/the/path/to/my/key \
  lego --dns cloudflare --domains www.example.com --email you@example.com run
