I just straight up gave up trying to automate renewing my wildcard certificate from Letsencrypt after who knows how many weekends. Typing a single command won't kill me lol

Sounds like you can schedule that command with crontab then

That's the easy part, the hard part was getting the acme-dns authentication to work since you can't use the regular automated update with a wildcard certificate.

What exactly are you having trouble with? I've automated all of our LetsEncrypt renewal stuff at work, including certs for wildcard domains, and it's using the DNS plugin.
