Guide for developing a dns api for acme.sh
Let's assume your api name is `myapi`, and you will use your api like:
```sh
export MYAPI_Username=myname
export MYAPI_Password=mypass
acme.sh --issue -d example.com --dns dns_myapi
```
Here we go:
### 1. The cloudflare dns api is a recommended reference:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/master/dnsapi/dns_cf.sh
### 2. The script file name must be `myapi.sh`
The file name must be in this format: `yourApiName.sh`, in this example, it should be `myapi.sh`
### 3. The file can be placed in `acme.sh/` folder, or in `acme.sh/dnsapi/` subfolder.
If you want to contribute your script to `acme.sh` project, it must be placed in `acme.sh/dnsapi/` folder.
If you just want to use your script on your machine, you can put it in `.acme.sh/` or `.acme.sh/dnsapi/` folders.
acme.sh searches the script files in either the acme.sh home dir(`.acme.sh/`) or in the `dnsapi` subfolder(`.acme.sh/dnsapi`).
### 4. The file shebang must be `sh` not `bash`
acme.sh is a `unix shell` script, not just a `bash` script.
If you want to contribute your script, the shebang must be:
```sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh
```
After the installation, acme.sh could change the shebang to bash to get a better performance if you have bash on your machine.
Of cause, if you just use it on your own, it can be any valid shebang on your machine. It could be `sh` or `bash`, it's up to you.
### 5. There must be 2 functions in your script:
```sh
# Usage: add _acme-challenge.www.domain.com "XKrxpRBosdIKFzxW_CT3KLZNf6q0HG9i01zxXp5CPBs"
# Used to add txt record
dns_myapi_add() { }
# Usage: fulldomain txtvalue
# Used to remove the txt record after validation
dns_myapi_rm() { }
```
Actually, the `dns_myapi_add()` is required, but `dns_myapi_rm()` is optional. You can just write the add function at the beginning for testing purpose, it's `highly recommended` to implement the rm function too. Otherwise your txt records will increase 1 every 2 months.
### 6. Guide for the add function
Steps when you write the `dns_myapi_add()` function:
#### 1. Get the full domain and the txt record:
```sh
dns_myapi_add() {
fulldomain=$1
txtvalue=$2
...
}
```
#### 2. You must save your username and password in the add function:
The credentials such as username, password, api key or api token etc, must be saved, so that acme.sh can renew the cert automatically in future. It will reuse the credentials automatically.
```sh
dns_myapi_add() {
...
MYAPI_Username="${MYAPI_Username:-$(_readaccountconf_mutable MYAPI_Username)}"
MYAPI_Password="${MYAPI_Password:-$(_readaccountconf_mutable MYAPI_Password)}"
if [ -z "$MYAPI_Username" ] || [ -z "$MYAPI_Password" ]; then
MYAPI_Username=""
MYAPI_Password=""
_err "You don't specify cloudflare api key and email yet."
_err "Please create you key and try again."
return 1
fi
#save the credentials to the account conf file.
_saveaccountconf_mutable MYAPI_Username "$MYAPI_Username"
_saveaccountconf_mutable MYAPI_Password "$MYAPI_Password"
...
}
```
#### 3. Detect which part is your root zone.
The full domain could be in one of the following formats:
1. `_acme-challenge.www.example.com`
2. `_acme-challenge.example.com`
3. `_acme-challenge.example.co.uk`
4. `_acme-challenge.www.example.co.uk`
5. `_acme-challenge.sub1.sub2.www.example.co.uk`
For most of the dns providers, you must determine which part is the domain root zone(example.com or example.co.uk), and which part is the sub domain(_acme-challenge or _acme-challenge.www)
*You can not just split the full domain, and get the first part as sub domain, and the rest as root zone.
Please make sure you can handle all the formats above.*
A good practice is to list all your root zones through your dns api, then compare and detect which part is the root zone. Then the rest is the sub domain.
See:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/master/dnsapi/dns_cf.sh#L142
```sh
dns_myapi_add() {
...
_debug "First detect the root zone"
if ! _get_root "$fulldomain"; then
_err "invalid domain"
return 1
fi
...
```
#### 4. Call your dns api to add txt record.
Most of the dns providers provide a http api or REST api.
So, you can just use http GET/POST/PUT/DELETE method to call their api to add/remove txt record.
acme.sh defined two functions to make http GET/POST/PUT/DELETE connections.
see:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/master/acme.sh#L1654
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/master/acme.sh#L1582
```
_get() {}
_post() {}
```
You can use them directly.
Please take care that the `_post()` function can send POST/PUT/DELETE request, not just `POST`.
See:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/975a7359a23cd5f8335aca58ceab552d8d967ea7/dnsapi/dns_infoblox.sh#L85
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/ded7a5438ce94c4dd0435068de5c0c384b60e4dd/dnsapi/dns_cf.sh#L73
Do not use `curl` or `wget` directly in your script.
**Note:** Wildcard certificates require two TXT values. When implementing the method make sure that you append the value instead of replacing it
dig -t txt _acme-challenge.example.com should return
```
; <<>> DiG 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu <<>> -t txt _acme-challenge.example.com

```
#### 5. Process the api response.
The api response could be in text, json or xml format. Here are a lot of functions to process strings:
```sh
...
_startswith()
_endswith()
_contains()
_egrep_o()
...
```
You can use `sed`, `grep`, `cut`, `paste` etc, Do not use `awk` at all.
### 7. Guide for the rm function.
The steps is same as the add function.
Please take care that the rm function and add function are called in 2 different isolated sub shell. So, you can not pass any env vars from the add function to the rm function.
You must re-do all the preparations of the add function here too.
See:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/ded7a5438ce94c4dd0435068de5c0c384b60e4dd/dnsapi/dns_cf.sh#L85
### 8. Please also check this bug to support V2 wildcard cert:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/issues/1261
### 9. Update the docs to include your dns api and usage.
1. Update your dns api usage here: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/blob/dev/dnsapi/README.md
2. Add your dns api to the support list: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/tree/dev#8-automatic-dns-api-integration
## Style Guidelines
acme.sh uses shellcheck for new commits and also enforces style guidelines.
To avoid the most common travis failures:
* Use indentation with 2 spaces
* remove trailing spaces
* Doublequote variables (use echo _debug "txtvalue=$txtvalue" instead of _debug txtvalue=$txtvalue)
* Always check the travis results after a commit
* Consider using shellcheck (https://www.shellcheck.net/) before commiting
