How to utilize multiple DNS API keys

As for now, the dns api key/secret is saved in the global account.conf file, so that it can be reused for any of the domains in your account.

So, what if you have multiple dns api keys. The key point is to use multiple account.conf file.

You can use either of the following ways:

1. Use muitlple linux users to install and use acme.sh

It's the easiest way to use. You can just create multiple Linux users, and install and use acme.sh for each users:

su  acmeuser1

curl https://get.acme.sh | sh -s [email protected]

source ~/.acme.sh/acme.sh.env

export MYDNS_APIKey1=xxxxxxx

acme.sh --issue -d domain1.com --dns ........

And then switch to another user:

su  acmeuser2

curl https://get.acme.sh | sh -s [email protected]

source ~/.acme.sh/acme.sh.env

export MYDNS_APIKey2=xxxxxxx

acme.sh --issue -d domain1.com --dns ........

2. Use multiple --config-home

The global account.conf file is saved in the --config-home by default. So, you can use different --config-home.

curl https://get.acme.sh | sh -s [email protected]

The default config home is at ~/.acme.sh.

You can specify a custom config home on any of the acme.sh commands:

export MY_DNS_key2=xxxxxxx
acme.sh  --config-home ~/.myacme   --issue  -d example.com ......

Every time you want to use the MY_DNS_key2 to issue certs, you need to use the --config-home parameter:

acme.sh  --config-home ~/.myacme   --issue .....

acme.sh  --config-home ~/.myacme   --renew ......

acme.sh  --config-home ~/.myacme   --revoke .....

You will also need to add a new crontab entry to make it renew automatically:

30 0 * * * "/root/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/root/.acme.sh"  --config-home "/root/.myacme"    > /dev/null
