Solving the DNS-01 challenge using an external program.
<!--more-->
- Code: `exec`
- Since: v0.5.0
Here is an example bash command using the External program provider:
```bash
EXEC_PATH=/the/path/to/myscript.sh \
lego --email you@example.com --dns exec --domains my.example.org run
```
## Base Configuration
| Environment Variable Name | Description |
|---------------------------|---------------------------------------|
| `EXEC_MODE` | `RAW`, none |
| `EXEC_PATH` | The path of the the external program. |
## Additional Configuration
| Environment Variable Name | Description |
|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| `EXEC_POLLING_INTERVAL` | Time between DNS propagation check. |
| `EXEC_PROPAGATION_TIMEOUT` | Maximum waiting time for DNS propagation. |
| `EXEC_SEQUENCE_INTERVAL` | Time between sequential requests. |
## Description
The file name of the external program is specified in the environment variable `EXEC_PATH`.
When it is run by lego, three command-line parameters are passed to it:
The action ("present" or "cleanup"), the fully-qualified domain name and the value for the record.
For example, requesting a certificate for the domain 'my.example.org' can be achieved by calling lego as follows:
```bash
EXEC_PATH=./update-dns.sh \
lego --email you@example.com \
--dns exec \
--domains my.example.org run
```
It will then call the program './update-dns.sh' with like this:
```bash
./update-dns.sh "present" "_acme-challenge.my.example.org." "MsijOYZxqyjGnFGwhjrhfg-Xgbl5r68WPda0J9EgqqI"
```
The program then needs to make sure the record is inserted.
When it returns an error via a non-zero exit code, lego aborts.
When the record is to be removed again,
the program is called with the first command-line parameter set to `cleanup` instead of `present`.
If you want to use the raw domain, token, and keyAuth values with your program, you can set `EXEC_MODE=RAW`:
```bash
EXEC_MODE=RAW \
EXEC_PATH=./update-dns.sh \
lego --email you@example.com \
--dns exec \
--domains my.example.org run
```
It will then call the program `./update-dns.sh` like this:
```bash
./update-dns.sh "present" "--" "my.example.org." "some-token" "KxAy-J3NwUmg9ZQuM-gP_Mq1nStaYSaP9tYQs5_-YsE.ksT-qywTd8058G-SHHWA3RAN72Pr0yWtPYmmY5UBpQ8"
```
## Commands
{{% notice note %}}
The `--` is because the token MAY start with a `-`, and the called program may try and interpret a `-` as indicating a flag.
In the case of urfave, which is commonly used,
you can use the `--` delimiter to specify the start of positional arguments, and handle such a string safely.
