# certbot-dns-ionos
IONOS DNS Authenticator plugin for Certbot
![Ionos](https://www.ionos.co.uk/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2021/12/LOGO_IONOS_Blue_RGB-1.png)
This plugin automates the process of completing a ``dns-01`` challenge by
creating, and subsequently removing, TXT records using the IONOS Remote API.
## Configuration of IONOS
In the `System -> Remote Users` you have to have a user, with the following rights
- Client Functions
- DNS zone functions
- DNS txt functions
.. _IONOS: https://www.ionos.de/
.. _Certbot: https://certbot.eff.org/
## Installation
### Snap
[![Get it from the Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/static/images/badges/en/snap-store-black.svg)](https://snapcraft.io/certbot-dns-ionos)
### Pip
`pip install certbot-dns-ionos`
## Named Arguments
To start using DNS authentication for ionos, pass the following arguments on
certbot's command line:
| Command args | Command definition |
| --- | --- |
|``--authenticator dns-ionos`` | select the authenticator plugin (Required) |
|``--dns-ionos-credentials`` |ionos Remote User credentials INI file. (Required) |
|``--dns-ionos-propagation-seconds``|waiting time for DNS to propagate before asking the ACME server to verify the DNS record. (Default: 10, Recommended: >= 600) |
|``--dns-ionos-propagation-seconds``|waiting time for DNS to propagate before asking the ACME server to verify the DNS record. (Default: 30, Recommended: 60) |
## Credentials
An example ``credentials.ini`` file:
```ini
dns_ionos_prefix = myapikeyprefix
dns_ionos_secret = verysecureapikeysecret
dns_ionos_endpoint = https://api.hosting.ionos.com
dns_ionos_prefix = myapikeyprefix
dns_ionos_secret = verysecureapikeysecret
dns_ionos_endpoint = https://api.hosting.ionos.com
```
The key can be managed under the following link: https://developer.hosting.ionos.de/?source=IonosControlPanel
The path to this file can be provided interactively or using the
`--dns-ionos-credentials` command-line argument. Certbot
records the path to this file for use during renewal, but does not store the
file's contents.

> Certbot will emit a warning if it detects that the credentials file can be
accessed by other users on your system. The warning reads "Unsafe permissions
on credentials configuration file", followed by the path to the credentials
file. This warning will be emitted each time Certbot uses the credentials file,
including for renewal, and cannot be silenced except by addressing the issue
(e.g., by using a command like ``chmod 600`` to restrict access to the file and
``chmod 700`` to restrict access to the folder).
## Examples
To acquire a single certificate for both ``example.com`` and
``*.example.com``, waiting 900 seconds for DNS propagation:
```bash
certbot certonly \
--authenticator dns-ionos \
--dns-ionos-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/.secrets/domain.tld.ini \
--dns-ionos-propagation-seconds 900 \
--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
--agree-tos \
--rsa-key-size 4096 \
-d 'example.com' \
-d '*.example.com'
certbot certonly \
--authenticator dns-ionos \
--dns-ionos-credentials /etc/letsencrypt/.secrets/domain.tld.ini \
--dns-ionos-propagation-seconds 900 \
--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
--agree-tos \
--rsa-key-size 4096 \
-d 'example.com' \
-d '*.example.com'
```
## Docker
In order to create a docker container with a certbot-dns-ionos installation,
create an empty directory with the following ``Dockerfile``:
```docker
FROM certbot/certbot
RUN pip install certbot-dns-ionos
FROM certbot/certbot
RUN pip install certbot-dns-ionos
```
Proceed to build the image
```docker
docker build -t certbot/dns-ionos .
docker build -t certbot/dns-ionos .
```
Once that's finished, the application can be run as follows::
```docker
docker run --rm \
-v /var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt \
-v /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
--cap-drop=all \
certbot/dns-ionos certonly \
--authenticator dns-ionos \
--dns-ionos-propagation-seconds 900 \
--dns-ionos-credentials \
/etc/letsencrypt/.secrets/domain.tld.ini \
--no-self-upgrade \
--keep-until-expiring --non-interactive --expand \
--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
-d example.com -d '*.example.com'
docker run --rm \
-v /var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt \
-v /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt \
--cap-drop=all \
certbot/dns-ionos certonly \
--authenticator dns-ionos \
--dns-ionos-propagation-seconds 900 \
--dns-ionos-credentials \
/etc/letsencrypt/.secrets/domain.tld.ini \
--no-self-upgrade \
--keep-until-expiring --non-interactive --expand \
--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
-d example.com -d '*.example.com'
```
It is suggested to secure the folder as follows
```bash
@ -130,33 +97,23 @@ chown root:root /etc/letsencrypt/.secrets
chmod 700 /etc/letsencrypt/.secrets
```
The file 'domain.tld.ini' must be replaced with the version of the example 'credentials.ini' adapted to your provider.
## Changelog

- Update README.rst
- Add Link to IONOS control panel and reference between credentials.ini and domain.tld.ini
- 2023.11.13
- Fix managed zone lookup to ensure correct domain is selected where there are two domains with the same ending e.g. example.com and thisisanexample.com (PR #22)
- 2022.11.24
- remove zope to fix compatibility with Certbot 2.x (Fixes #19)
As a reminder, Certbot will default to issuing ECDSA certificates from release 2.0.0.
If you update from a prior certbot release, run the plugin once manually. You will be prompted
to update RSA key type to ECDSA.
