I'll look into adding TXT record support.

Get the latest dyndns.js from CVS and then add a "TXT" value to the

[dyndns]

section of your ctrl/modopts.ini file. Let me know how that works for ya,

digital man

I updated my dyndns.js but am not sure what keys=values to put in modopts.ini [dyndns] (I assume I have to add [dyndns] to modopts.ini) or how to tell letsyncrypt.js that it should use DNS Validation instead of http :/

Seems my brain is reverting to a newbie LOL

Yes, you'd have to add that section to modopts.ini, like this:

[dyndns]
txt=some text
wildcard=true

or how
to tell letsyncrypt.js that it should use DNS Validation instead of http :/

That, I don't know. There's been some doubt about whether or not letsencrypt will actually follow a CNAME as well (which is how the wildcards are supported), so I am curious for someone to try that out.

If I am understanding correctly, the dns provider (I assume it is vert.synchro.net) needs to have a CNAME or NS record that is used in DNS-01 Validation. I personally would not expect either you, Duece or EC revamp or create an entire API that stores the TXT records for each *.synchro.net subdomain, but we will keep looking at work arounds :-/

I suppose one solution would be to somehow make the ssl.cert less self-signed then we wouldn't need letsencrypt or certbot :)

Well, I kind of already did that. You can have your TXT record for your *.synchro.net subdomain. And you can have wildcards so that whatever.yourbbs.synchro.net will resolve (via CNAME) to yourbbs.synchro.net

I suppose one solution would be to somehow make the ssl.cert less self-signed then we wouldn't need letsencrypt or certbot :)

The whole point of using letsencrypt is have a certificate authority (not "self") assign/authenticate the certificate. Before letsyncrypt, the only option we had was self-signed.

The syntax of that "loc" value is wrong.

"port" and "tlsport" are not supported keys in the [dyndns] section of modopts.ini. See this for details:
http://wiki.synchro.net/module:dyndns

of

No, it's asking the location of *your* BBS. Why would my service ask *you* the location of itself?

LOL, good thing I've never claimed to be intelligent. I followed the (see http://dnsloc.net/ for details) on the dyndns wiki and used their script result
and read their link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LOC_record

I seem to confuse easily these days; great, now I have to buy plaid spandex pants and learn to play golf :-)

TOSAgreed doesn't belong in the [Domains] section, it belongs in the global (top most) section of the file.
