Getting wildcard certificates with Certbot

Client dev

I had the same thought. Regardless, the actual instructions to install the DNS plugins are in the install page. https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/centosrhel7-nginx

Basically, replace certbot in the install command with the DNS plugin you need i.e. certbot-dns-digitalocean for Digitalocean.

That said, this worked better than the instructions listed creating new wildcard certs (Note: this one renews an existing cert called example.org):

sudo certbot certonly --cert-name example.org \
	--dns-digitalocean \
	--dns-digitalocean-credentials ~/digitalocean.ini \
	--server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory \
	-d "*.example.org" -d example.org
