DEPRECATED Hetzner hook for dehydrated

This hook is considered deprecated after being integrated into the Python DNS library lexicon.

This is a hook for the Let's Encrypt ACME client dehydrated (previously known as letsencrypt.sh) that allows you to use Hetzner Robot or Hetzner konsoleH DNS to respond to dns-01 challenges. Requires Python and Hetzner account credentials (specified as environment variables).

Precondition

sudo su
mkdir /etc/dehydrated
cd /etc/dehydrated
mkdir certs accounts hooks
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated.git
cd dehydrated
cp docs/examples/config /etc/dehydrated/
cp docs/examples/domains.txt /etc/dehydrated/
ln -s /opt/dehydrated/dehydrated /usr/local/bin/

Installation

sudo su
cd /opt/
git clone https://github.com/rembik/dehydrated-hetzner-hook.git
ln -s /opt/dehydrated-hetzner-hook/ /etc/dehydrated/hooks/hetzner

Assuming python and pip already exists on the system, install the necessary packages and make sure the first line (#!/usr/bin/env python) in hook.py points to the provided Python interpreter:

pip install -r dehydrated-hetzner-hook/requirements.txt

Configuration

Edit the /etc/dehydrated/config file, add/uncomment the following lines:

BASEDIR="/etc/dehydrated"
CHALLENGETYPE="dns-01"
HOOK="${BASEDIR}/hooks/hetzner/hook.py"
HOOK_CHAIN="yes"
CONTACT_EMAIL="admin@example.com"

Specify Hetzner account, username and password as environment variables. As defaults add these lines to the /etc/dehydrated/config file:

# Hetzner account: by default Hetzner Robot (robot) or Hetzner konsoleH (konsoleh)
#export HETZNER_AUTH_ACCOUNT='robot'
export HETZNER_AUTH_USERNAME='<username>'
export HETZNER_AUTH_PASSWORD='<password>'

Optional, specify Hetzner log level as environment variable.

# Hetzner log level: by default INFO (choose from CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG or NOTSET)
#export HETZNER_LOG_LEVEL=INFO

Optional, in environments with more than one DNS provider and/or account for dns-01 challenging, specify authentication parameters on execution:

HETZNER_AUTH_ACCOUNT='robot' HETZNER_AUTH_USERNAME='<username>' HETZNER_AUTH_PASSWORD='<password>' dehydrated -c -d 'example.org example.net *.example.org' -t 'dns-01' -k '/etc/dehydrated/hooks/hetzner/hook.py'

Optional, for CNAME dns-01 challenges add a CNAME entry from the requested domain to the Hetzner domain that should accomplish the dns challenge. The CNAME for dns-01 challenging example.net with example.org could look similar to the following and must be added to the domain zone example.net:

_acme-challenge    IN CNAME   localhost.example.org.

Usage

For example specified /etc/dehydrated/domains.txt

example.org example.net *.example.org

will look similar to the following on execution:
