Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is: Prefer not to say (using exampledomain.com)
I ran this command: certbot certonly --dns-rfc2136 --dns-rfc2136-credentials ~/rfc2136.ini -d *.exampledomain.com
It produced this output: certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: --dns-rfc2136-credentials /root/rfc2136.ini
My web server is (include version): No webserver since this is generating a cert only
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: GoDaddy
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.23.0
Notes:
- I followed the exact instructions verbatim as recommended here: https://certbot-dns-rfc2136.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
- File permissions are set to 644
- I confirmed from the man page that my version of CertBot has the
--dns-rfc2136-credentials
