Configuration for OVH.

• Code: ovh
• Since: v0.4.0

Here is an example bash command using the OVH provider:

# Application Key authentication:

OVH_APPLICATION_KEY=1234567898765432 \
OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET=b9841238feb177a84330febba8a832089 \
OVH_CONSUMER_KEY=256vfsd347245sdfg \
OVH_ENDPOINT=ovh-eu \
lego --email you@example.com --dns ovh --domains my.example.org run

# Or OAuth2:

OVH_CLIENT_ID=yyy \
OVH_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx \
OVH_ENDPOINT=ovh-eu \
lego --email you@example.com --dns ovh --domains my.example.org run

Credentials

Environment Variable Name	Description
OVH_APPLICATION_KEY	Application key (Application Key authentication)
OVH_APPLICATION_SECRET	Application secret (Application Key authentication)
OVH_CLIENT_ID	Client ID (OAuth2)
OVH_CLIENT_SECRET	Client secret (OAuth2)
OVH_CONSUMER_KEY	Consumer key (Application Key authentication)
OVH_ENDPOINT	Endpoint URL (ovh-eu or ovh-ca)

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
OVH_HTTP_TIMEOUT	API request timeout
OVH_POLLING_INTERVAL	Time between DNS propagation check
OVH_PROPAGATION_TIMEOUT	Maximum waiting time for DNS propagation
OVH_TTL	The TTL of the TXT record used for the DNS challenge

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" %}}).

Application Key and Secret

Application key and secret can be created by following the OVH guide.

When requesting the consumer key, the following configuration can be used to define access rights:

{
  "accessRules": [
    {
      "method": "POST",
      "path": "/domain/zone/*"
    },
    {
      "method": "DELETE",
      "path": "/domain/zone/*"
    }
  ]
}

OAuth2 Client Credentials

Another method for authentication is by using OAuth2 client credentials.

An IAM policy and service account can be created by following the OVH guide.

Following IAM policies need to be authorized for the affected domain:

• dnsZone:apiovh:record/create
• dnsZone:apiovh:record/delete
• dnsZone:apiovh:refresh

Important Note

Both authentication methods cannot be used at the same time.
