ACME DNS Server (Simple DNS Server for TXT entries only)

[thomas-hn]

Hello,

does someone know if there is any user plugin available for OPNsense which provides a simple DNS server for only serving TXT records?

I would like to run something similar to https://github.com/pawitp/acme-dns-server on OPNsense with port 53 open to the Internet to provide a minimalistic DNS server for only providing TXT records used for DNS-01 wildcard certificate validation. The linked project describes the purpose as "This is a very simple DNS server written in Python for serving DNS TXT records for the purpose of ACME (Let's Encrypt) DNS-01 validation, which is required for generating wildcard certificates.".

Is something similar already available on OPNsense (without having to install it manually via console)?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Thomas

Really noone here who has done something similar?

I just recently created the official FreeBSD package of acme-dns. I have not yet got to creating an OPNsense plugin. You can run it in a jail on some other FreeBSD system, a Raspberry Pi with Linux ... then forward port 53 inbound on your OPNsense.

If you feel the need to have an acme-dns plugin - go ahead, all open source. Create it. 

This is all volunteer work done in people's spare time and it gets done when it gets done. Sometimes never.

Thanks for the information.
I did not want to blame someone with my question, I am just wondering if there is someone who already created a plugin for this use-case on his own. I can only hardly believe that none of the users here came to the same topic before.
