Alibaba Cloud DNS (AliDNS) module for Caddy

This package contains a DNS provider module for Caddy. It can be used to manage DNS records with Alibaba Cloud (as is Aliyun or ALIYUN) accounts.

Caddy module name

dns.providers.alidns

Config examples

To use this module for the ACME DNS challenge, configure the ACME issuer in your Caddy JSON like so:

{
  "module": "acme",
  "challenges": {
    "dns": {
      "provider": {
	"name": "alidns",
	"access_key_id":"YOUR_ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
	"access_key_secret":"YOUR_ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

or with the Caddyfile:

# globally

acme_dns alidns {
  access_key_id {env.ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
  access_key_secret {env.ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET}
}

# one site

tls {
  dns alidns {
    access_key_id {env.ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID}
    access_key_secret {env.ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET}
  }
}

You can replace {env.ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID},{env.ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET} with the actual auth token in the "" if you prefer to put it directly in your config instead of an environment variable.

Authenticating

See the associated README in the libdns package for important information about credentials.
