Post using nsupdate to create TXT records for letsencrypt and DKIM
by joseadias on Wednesday, March 16, 2022

Hello.

I'm trying to automate letsencrypt cert creation via dns

This is what I'm sending to nsupdate:
server api.dynu.com
zone example.com
update add _acme-challenge.example.com 30 IN TXT "blahblahblah"
key hmac-md5:example.com ==SomeRandomTokenValue==
send
quit

it is returning success. My TSIG token is recent and valid.

rc=0

My problem is that when I query dns via dig/nslookup/web-site the record is not there. I also don't see any updates in any of the logs that I've found at dynu.com.

Does anybody have any experience with this? Is something missing from somewhere?
