lego --email you@example.com --dns pdns --domains my.example.org run

Credentials

Environment Variable Name Description
PDNS_API_KEY API key
PDNS_API_URL API URL

The environment variable names can be suffixed by _FILE to reference a file instead of a value. More information [here]({{< ref "dns#configuration-and-credentials" >}}).

Additional Configuration

Environment Variable Name Description
PDNS_API_VERSION Skip API version autodetection and use the provided version number.

Information

Tested and confirmed to work with PowerDNS authoritative server 3.4.8 and 4.0.1. Refer to PowerDNS documentation instructions on how to enable the built-in API interface.

PowerDNS Notes:

  • PowerDNS API does not currently support SSL, therefore you should take care to ensure that traffic between lego and the PowerDNS API is over a trusted network, VPN etc.
  • In order to have the SOA serial automatically increment each time the _acme-challenge record is added/modified via the API, set SOA-EDIT-API to INCEPTION-INCREMENT for the zone in the domainmetadata table
  • Some PowerDNS servers doesn't have root API endpoints enabled and API version autodetection will not work. In that case version number can be defined using PDNS_API_VERSION.
