Hello, I wan't to ask if anyone knows of a good alternative for certbot for acquiring ssl certificates for nginx.

Certbot isn't good anymore for me since I started using crowdsec with nginx bouncer that uses lua block's inside nginx config that cerbot can't parse, making it not work anymore.

I use nginx because it's the one I know the best and for my use case work's the best. ( Hosting both program's directly on metal and docker container's )

Requires me to add cname record's, which beats the purpose of automation honestly. Will most likelly move to caddy.

I thought acme or certbot could handle the DNS entries with an API call to your DNS provider.

It may require another plugin though. Googling some variation of certbot acme automate DNS challenge will give you a dozen tutorials.

Certbot has no support for vultr dns, not even with plugins. Already check.

acme.sh seems to say it supports Vultr: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/dnsapi2#dns_vultr
