Hi;

I know it's not related to dehydrated and/or the hooks but I miss understood something;

do I have to create the TXT _acme-challenge. ?
if yes where I found the VALUE
may I have a concrete example ?

Regards!

Jonathan

You need to create a TXT record of the form:

_acme-challenge.certificatedomain.tld.

For example, if my certificate name was “certify-me.example.org” my TXT record would be “_acme-challenge.certify-me.example.org.” The value of that record will be given by the ACME CA server.

You (or ideally a script) have to create a _acme-challenge.yourdomain.tld TXT-record. The value for that will be generated by the Let's Encrypt server and dehydrated will call a hook-script with those values so they can be deployed. You should have a look at the example hook script which has an example deployment using nsupdate, or you could have a look at the project wiki where you can find a big list of user-provided hook-scripts for a ton of DNS providers / APIs.
