In this repository you will find hooks which can be used to programatically change the DNS hosted by netcup via their API

gaining access to the netcup DNS API

Head to your Customercontrolpanel at [www.customercontrolpanel.de] or [www.customercontrolpanel.com] and log in. Click on "Master Data" ("Stammdaten") on the right site and then on ">_ API" on the upper right corner. You can generate an API Key and your API Password here.

usage

Edit the config.ini and enter your own credentials there. Make sure that this file is read-only to your user or root:

$ chmod 400 config.ini

usage: netcup-dns-hook.py [-h] [--cleanup] [--debug] domainname validation

Hooks into the netcup DNS API to set the DNS Record for the ACME challenge.

positional arguments:
  domainname  domain to be modified.
  validation  validation string

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --cleanup   yes/no
  --debug     Enable debug messages

Hooks for Certbot

Use both the included shell scripts to run certbot for gaining a wildcard cert:

$ sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges=dns --manual-auth-hook /path/to/script/netcup-auth-hook.sh --manual-cleanup-hook /path/to/script/netcup-cleanup-hook.sh -d *.domainname.com

known issues

• If you run Certbot too often, Let's Encrypt won't fetch the new entries. Please wait the TTL time in seconds (e.g. TTL=300 means to wait 5 min) before running certbot again. This is not related to netcup, Let's Encrypt nor this suite; It is common behaviour.
