    we can use tool such as certbot to get certificates from let's encrypt (in traditional way). and to get one using DNS-01 challenge you can use something like acme-dns-certbot. even further the addition of TXT DNS record can be automated using a provider (in our case duckdns) specific tool/plugin for example certbot_dns_duckdns

    DNS alias mode:

    You want the name "internal.example.com". In your external DNS you create a CNAME from "_acme-challenge.internal.example.com" and point it to (e.g.) "internal.example.net" or "internal.dns-auth.example.com"

    When you request the certificate you specify the "dns-01" method. The issuer (e.g., LE) will go to the the external DNS server for the look up, see that it is a CNAME and then follow the CNAME/alias, and do the verification at the final hostname.

    So your ACME client has to do a DNS (TXT) record update, which can often be done via various APIs, e.g.:

    You can even run your own DNS server locally (in a DMZ?) if your DNS provider does not have an convenient API. There are servers written for this use case:
