Since a while each year the acme.. TXT dns record have to be updated for Lets Encrypt SSL certified domains in Plesk. Its a suffer each day domains not working after expiring and some work and planning to get it updated. Therefor it would be awesome and time and stress save if this process could be done automatically. Is this possible?
 
A couple of options:
  • Automate DNS syntonization between your Plesk server and your DNS provider. You'll probably have to create/develope this your self.
  • Switch to an external DNS provider for which there is an extensions available already. LIke DigitalOcean DNS, Amazon Route 53, Microsoft Azure DNS or Cloudflare.
  • Don't use Lets Encrypt for securing wildcards. The DNS validation is only used when securing wildcards.
