Hi there,

After setting up acme-dns and acme-dns-client, I still got this error when using it to renew certificate:

sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges dns --manual-auth-hook 'acme-dns-client' -d my-domain.com -d \*.my-domain.com
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Renewing an existing certificate for my-domain.com and *.my-domain.com

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: manual). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
  Domain: my-domain.com
  Type:   dns
  Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.my-domain.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

  Domain: my-domain.com
  Type:   dns
  Detail: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up TXT for _acme-challenge.my-domain.com - check that a DNS record exists for this domain

After reading some upstream issues from certbot, it seems that this issue is still open: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6566. Does this mean current release of certbot client doesn't support CNAME ? If that's the case, any workaround ? I was trying to build a certbot client with that branch but apparently that branch was a bit too old to merge into latest master.

Thanks

I use acme-dns-client-2 with certbot and acme-dns.
Other acme-dns clients for certbot should work too.

Please check your DNS setup and re-try. Close issue when done.
