Community wiki on adding a DNS provider module to Caddy (via the download page or xcaddy) and enabling the ACME DNS challenge globally with acme_dns or per site in a tls block. Needed for wildcard certificates.
Quick steps
- Get a Caddy build including your provider (download page or xcaddy build --with github.com/caddy-dns/...)
- Enable via acme_dns <provider> globally or dns <provider> inside tls
- Use {env.*} placeholders for credentials
