== DNS plugins ==

If you’d like to obtain a wildcard certificate from Let’s Encrypt or run certbot on a machine other than your target webserver, you can use one of Certbot’s DNS plugins.

These plugins are not included in a default Certbot installation and must be installed separately.

They are available in many OS package managers, as Docker images, and as snaps. 

Visit https://certbot.eff.org to learn the best way to use the DNS plugins on your system.

Once installed, you can find documentation on how to use each plugin at:

== Renewal ==
Renewal with the manual plugin

Certificates created using --manual do not support automatic renewal 
unless combined with an authentication hook script via [[/--manual-auth-hook]]
to automatically set up the required HTTP and/or TXT challenges.
