How to install Certbot dns Cloudflare

The Certbot dns Cloudflare plugin makes it easy to complete a dns-01 challenge by initially creating and then removing the TXT records via the Cloudflare API. Furthermore, this plugin is not installed by default.

However, before we begin, our Support Techs recommend installing Snaps.

Snaps can be described as applications with their dependencies enabled to run on Linux distribution. Furthermore, they automatically update and roll back easily.

Snaps is available via the Snap Store. Before installing it, we can add the EPEL repository to the system with this command:

sudo yum install epel-release

Then, install Snaps with this command:

sudo yum install snapd

After that, we have to enable the systemd unit in charge of the main snap communication socket:

sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket

Next, enable the classic snap support with the following command in order to set up a symbolic link between /snap and /var/lib/snapd/snap:

sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap

Finally, restart the system or log out and log back in to ensure the paths are up to date.

The next step in the Certbot dns Cloudflare installation process includes using this command:

sudo snap install certbot-dns-cloudflare

If you run into any trouble with the installation process, our Support Team is available 24/7 to lend a hand.

In a nutshell, our skilled Support Engineers at Bobcares demonstrated how to install Certbot dns Cloudflare via Snaps. The process also involves adding the EPEL repository to the system.
