Hello, I wan’t to ask if anyone knows of a good alternative for certbot for acquiring ssl certificates for nginx.
Certbot isn’t good anymore for me since I started using crowdsec with nginx bouncer that uses lua block’s inside nginx config that cerbot can’t parse, making it not work anymore.
I use nginx because it’s the one I know the best and for my use case work’s the best. ( Hosting both program’s directly on metal and docker container’s )
Is there a particular reason you are keeping your DNS there?
Nice ui, and I already have a vps there. My main dns provider is namecheap but made it use vultr under the hood because of the nice ui.
Fair enough, just throwing that out there as an option to move DNS somewhere that does have API access for certbot to use.
Being a bit pedantic, and could be wrong, but wouldn’t that make Namecheap your registrar only, which registers whatever nameservers you give it for the domain you own with the relevant gTLD entity?
Yes
Switching to porkbun would make things a lot easier for you. DNS challenge is why I switched from Namecheap, and it’s less expensive and considerably easier to administrate.
Namecheap API works just fine with Certbot DNS challenges for me, FWIW.
