## What it is
A certbot manual hook tool that automates DNS-01 challenge TXT record creation and cleanup for Let's Encrypt wildcard certificates. It supports Aliyun, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and GoDaddy DNS APIs via PHP or Python scripts.

## Use cases
- automatically renew letsencrypt wildcard certificates via cron
- add dns txt records for certbot dns-01 challenge on aliyun
- issue wildcard certificates without manual dns intervention
- use certbot with tencent cloud or godaddy dns api
- automate certificate renewal for domains on chinese dns providers

## When to choose
- you need wildcard certificates from let's encrypt with dns hosted on aliyun, tencent cloud, huawei cloud, or godaddy
- certbot has no official dns plugin for your provider
- you want a simple shell hook instead of installing a certbot plugin

## When to avoid
- your dns provider is supported by an official certbot dns plugin
- you need a maintained tool with a standard license and active testing
- you don't use certbot for certificate management
