Instead of being limited to Certbot's built-in DNS plugins, you configure a credentials file pointing to your DNS provider (e.g., Cloudflare, Route 53, Hetzner) and certbot-dns-multi handles the DNS record creation and validation automatically during certificate issuance and renewal.\n\nThe plugin works by reading a simple INI configuration file that specifies your DNS provider name and its required credentials, then delegates all DNS operations to lego's provider implementations. It's designed for environments where you need wildcard certificates or DNS-based validation across many different DNS hosting platforms, and it's available as pre-compiled wheels for modern Linux systems or as a snap package for easier deployment.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need DNS-based ACME validation with a DNS provider not natively supported by Certbot and that provider is in lego's list of 117+ supported services. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and is available as pre-compiled wheels on modern Linux systems. Install via pip or snap depending on your Certbot deployment method; on non-x86_64 platforms or older Python versions, you'll need Go 1.24+ installed for compilation."},"id":"certbot-dns-multi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/certbot-dns-multi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/certbot-dns-multi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/certbot-dns-multi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"certbot-dns-multi","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Certbot DNS plugin supporting multiple providers, using github.com/go-acme/lego"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":688256,"position":5341,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.3.1"}
