Certbot DNS plugins in NexProxy
NexProxy uses Certbot to issue and renew Let’s Encrypt certificates.
When you request a certificate using a DNS challenge, NexProxy installs the corresponding Certbot DNS plugin for the provider you selected. The available providers and package versions are defined in certbot-dns-plugins.json.
Important limitations
DNS plugins are maintained independently from Certbot and from NexProxy. As a result:
- Some plugins may lag behind current Certbot or dependency versions.
- A plugin may install package versions that conflict with other Certbot components.
- Support quality varies between providers, and not every plugin is regularly tested in NexProxy.
WARNING
Using more than one DNS provider in the same NexProxy instance may introduce Python dependency conflicts between Certbot plugins.
If a DNS plugin does not work
- Check the NexProxy container logs for Certbot or Python package installation errors.
- Identify the plugin package and version defined for your provider in certbot-dns-plugins.json.
- Check PyPI or the plugin project for a newer compatible release.
- If needed, update the plugin definition, including any required dependency pins.
- Submitting a pull request and CI will build a testable docker image for you.
