Remove acme-dns registration

I have set up acme-dns successfully on my server so that I can auto-renew wildcard domains.

I guess it's my desire to keep things tidy, but I can't see how to deregister a registered domain name that I misspelled. I can't see anything here about it.

Any ideas how to go about this? Maybe there's a file somewhere that needs certain lines deleting or maybe a whole file to be deleted.

Many thanks :face_with_monocle:

I'm not sure that's possible. If I look at the code, the web-API only has these three API endpoints:

Maybe @joohoi can enlighten us? Maybe a good feature request?

What did you misspell and how? acme-dns generates a unique subdomain and credentials upon registration; the only thing submitted to it is a TXT record value. acme-dns has no idea what any registered domain name is.

for clarity, as that might sound confusing:

  • upon registration, acme-dns creates a new subdomain based on a UUID, and a new set of credentials
  • you CNAME the registered domain on your DNS onto the acme-dns subdomain
  • acme-dns never knows or cares about the registered domain

if you want to do overkill, and risk breaking things, you can manipulate the sqlite database directly. otherwise, it's just a few bytes of deadspace in the file.
