Hi,

Currently we have Squarespace as a DNS provider for our domain, and I have to use manual mode on pfSense for wildcard certificates to secure our local LAN DNS.

I was trying to experiment with the certificates on Proxmox, and was wondering if there is a way to do a manual DNS verification, similar to pfSense.

I don't see it mentioned in the GUI DNS plugin dropdown, so I'm not sure if I can try to do it via the command line or not even.

Has anyone tried this?



I have reviewed the following:

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Certificate_Management
https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi#how-to-use-dns-api
https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/DNS-manual-mode

As far as I can tell from researching, Proxmox does use this acme.sh, but I don't know enough about this to know if that means that this can "just work" from the command line

The documentation has this as the CLI command:


Code:
acme.sh --issue -d example.com --dns \ --yes-I-know-dns-manual-mode-enough-go-ahead-please

The example code on the Proxmox documentation has this:

Code:
root@proxmox:~# pvenode acme account register default mail@example.invalid
Directory endpoints:
0) Let's Encrypt V2 (https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory)
1) Let's Encrypt V2 Staging (https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory)
2) Custom

But I am not sure how to modify this for the manual DNS mode...
