  1. Auth Providers

Cloudflare

This is the most versatile auth provider as it supports public and private websites as well as Wildcard and single FQDN certificates.

NOTE: currently we only support using a cloudflare global access token. A restricted API token will NOT WORK. This is due to ubuntu 20.04 using an old version of certbot. When a newer version is available we will upgrade to support the restricted access token.

Use the following guide to Generate API token:

https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200167836-Managing-API-Tokens-and-Keys#12345680

If you are using docker-compose or creating your own container then you need to set the following environment variable when you are creating the container.

AUTH_PROVIDER=cloudflare

AUTH_PROVIDER_TOKEN=api token for cloudflare

AUTH_PROVIDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS=email address used to acquire api token

DOMAIN_WILDCARD=true|false
