Certbot Manual Hook – Automating Wildcard Domain Renewals
Overview Securing my website with HTTPS is crucial, and Certbot makes it straightforward for many domains. However, when it comes to wildcard domains (like *.domain.com), there’s a bit more work involved—particularly if I want to automate renewals.
This post explains how I set up a manual DNS hook for Certbot that integrates with my domain name provider’s API (in this example, GoDaddy), so I no longer have to manually add DNS TXT records every time I need to renew my wildcard certificate.
