Hi,

I'm trying to setup acme-dns with the purpose to use it to get wildcard SSL certificate using letsencrypt on traefik.

I'm a little confused on which record to add on the provider DNS and how to configure acme-dns.

Basically I want to issue a wildcard certificate for:

*.example.com

and my acme-dns host would be:

acme-dns.example.com

Is this possible? How should I configure the records on DNS provider and what to have in the "domain" and "nsname" of acme-dns config?

Looking at the readme I understand that if acme-dns host is:

acme-dns.example.com

than I can only have wildcard certificate as:

*.acme-dns.example.com

Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

@Leosirth how do you solve this topic? I don't have any suppored provider account, and i would use the wildcard certificates.
