• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Input Renewal of Let's Encrypt SSL certificates with external DNS

New Pleskian
Select ReIssue Certificate of domain using an external DNS service.
Select "Install a free"
"Lets Encrypt" - Get it Free
Started issuing .. with an acme_challenge TXT string
Go onto external DNS provider and update the text string.
After a several minutes click on "Continue" in Lets Encrypt.
Except early on Sunday mornings, regularly get a 404 error because the DNS provider systems haven't "replicated" fast enough. Then have to go through the whole process again - right pain.
Building on the comments from "K" using a cron job and acme.sh (my DNS provider not in list) re this topic, need some form of built in mechanism to allow these requests to be put into a queue and allow retries for some reasonable period of time (say every minute for an 1 or 2 hours).
