You mean make Bind capable of creating TXT records for letsencrypt?
- Hackbraten 3y agoIf that’s what it takes to get a wildcard certificate, then yes.
- t312227 3y agohello, 1. what do you want to do with your certificate? 2. why do you want a wildcard certificate!? imho. its a lot easier - and also a bit safer - to use certificate(s) with actual names in it. ps. you are able to specify multiple names for a certificate :) idk for example so its valid for "domain.tld" and "www.domain.tld" etc. cheersv
- Hackbraten 3y ago> what do you want to do with your certificate I want to be able to reach various appliances in our home network (router, modem, etc.) via HTTPS without having to dismiss those scary warnings all the time. > why do you want a wildcard certificate!? Because most of those appliances are not connected to the public internet. They do allow uploading a certificate though.
- t312227 3y agohello, hmmm ... idk. for LAN-based appliances, which will likely even have invalid names a la * router.my.home or * nas.my.home or whatever "dummy-tld" + local domain one uses ... so if i want to use certificates in such an environment, i would create my own CA and import its public cert(s) into my browsers - or OSes - certificate-store. problem solved!! and also learned some useful lessons regarding "run your own CA" :) cheersv
