Shameless plug for an alternative?

lexicon

Manipulate DNS records on various DNS providers in a standardized way.

Project mention: Dehydrated: Letsencrypt/acme client implemented as a shell-script | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-19

One of the biggest benefits of dehydrated is that it doesn't try to integrate with a DNS provider on its own. It just calls a hook, which can be implemented with a simple shell script[1]. The most popular third-party integration is lexicon[2], though you're not required to use Lexicon. (e.g. you're free to use awscli, gcloud, linode-cli, etc. to do the actual DNS record manipulation)
This means its dependencies footprint is much smaller, and allows you to do things that can be a nightmare to configure with Certbot or other alternatives. For example, at one of the scenarios I had to set up was that we had to query a credential via HashiCorp Vault, which is then used to cURL into an API endpoint. The shell script in total was pretty short (< 100 LOC) and it worked extremely well.
