Certbot plugin to authenticate using dns TXT records via Transip API

You can also run this directly from Docker, and get the certificates and keys written to disk for further processing.

For example the following command can be used. This assumes the transip.ini file and the keyfile are present in /tmp/letsencrypt.

docker run -ti -v `/tmp/letsencrypt`:/etc/letsencrypt \
    hsmade/certbot-transip \
    certonly -n \
    -d 'your.domain.com' \
    -a certbot-dns-transip:dns-transip \
    --certbot-dns-transip:dns-transip-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/transip.ini \
    --certbot-dns-transip:dns-transip-propagation-seconds 240 \
    -m your@domain.com \
    --agree-tos \
    --eff-email

Installation

At the command line:

$ pip install certbot-dns-transip

Or, if you have virtualenvwrapper installed:

$ mkvirtualenv certbot-dns-transip
$ pip install certbot-dns-transip

Usage

To use certbot-dns-transip in a project:

# Get an API key from TransIP

# Convert the key to an RSA key
$ openssl rsa -in /etc/letsencrypt/transip.key -out /etc/letsencrypt/transip-rsa.key

# make sure the rights are set correctly
$ chmod 600 /etc/letsencrypt/transip-rsa.key

$ cat /etc/letsencrypt/transip-rsa.key
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIE........
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

# Create a transip.ini file
$ cat //etc/letsencrypttransip.ini
dns_transip_username = my_username
dns_transip_key_file = /etc/letsencrypt/transip-rsa.key

# Execute certbot
$ docker run -ti -v `/etc/letsencrypt`:/etc/letsencrypt \
         hsmade/certbot-transip \
         certonly -n \
         -d 'your.domain.com' \
         -a dns-transip \
         --dns-transip-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/transip.ini \
         --dns-transip-propagation-seconds 240 \
         -m your@domain.com \
         --agree-tos \
         --eff-email

# make sure to use the propagation wait time of at least 240 seconds, as Transip doesn't refresh the zones that often.
