Auth Providers
Nginx-LE supports a number of auth providers. Each auth provider has its on method of configuration.
This is the default Certbot authentication method and only works if your web server is exposed on a public IP address with ports 80 and 443 open.
HTTP01 Auth does not support wildcard certificates.
Set the following environment variables:
AUTH_PROVIDER=HTTP01Auth
DOMAIN_WILDCARD=false
We don't recommend using this provider.
The Namecheap API is very crappy and requires that we update EVERY dns record to just modify a single record.
It is also currently limited to domains that have no more than 10 A records. This could be fixed by changing the request from a HTTP GET to a POST but unfortunately Namecheap hasn't documented the POST method.
AUTH_PROVIDER=namecheap
AUTH_PROVIDER_TOKEN=name cheap Api Key
AUTH_PROVIDER_USERNAME=name cheap username
DOMAIN_WILDCARD=true|false
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.
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
