Loopia DNS Authenticator for Certbot

The Loopia DNS Authenticator plugin for Certbot automates the process of completing a dns-01 challenge by creating, and subsequently removing, TXT records using the Loopia DNS API.

Usage

The plugin is enabled by passing the --dns-loopia option to certbot. For details, refer to Certbot's documentation.

Examples:

# Obtaining a certificate for example.com
certbot certonly -d example.com \
  --certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia \
  --certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/loopia.ini

# Obtaining a wildcard certificate for example.com and setting it up for Apache
certbot -d example.com -d '*.example.com' \
  --server 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory' \
  -i apache -a certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia \
  --certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia-credentials ~/.secrets/certbot/loopia.ini

Arguments

• --certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia-credentials: Loopia API credentials INI file. (Required)

• --certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia-propagation-seconds: The number of seconds to wait for DNS to propagate before asking the ACME server to verify the DNS record. (Default: 10)

Credentials

Use of this plugin requires a configuration file containing Loopia API credentials, obtained from the Loopia control panel. The path to this file can be provided using the --certbot-dns-loopia:dns-loopia-credentials command-line argument.

Example:

certbot_dns_loopia:dns_loopia_username = bob@loopiaapi
certbot_dns_loopia:dns_loopia_password = mCaof9jCfImg6yxA

The API credentials must have permission to perform the following API calls:

• getDomains to find the domain to which the record should be added.
• addZoneRecord to add the DNS verification record.
• getZoneRecords to find the added record.
• removeZoneRecord to remove the added record.
• removeSubdomain to remove any automatically created subdomains.

Installation

The plugin can be installed using setuptools:

python setup.py install
