Issue with Traefik SSL and PiHole (lemmy.world)

submitted 7 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I set up SSL certificates for my internal services behind Traefik, but I was having some issues obtaining the certificates. I ended up having to add this line in my Docker compose file to bypass PiHole which is controlling the internal hostnames for my domain:

- --certificatesresolvers.letsencrypt.acme.dnschallenge.resolvers=1.1.1.1:53,1.0.0.1:53

After adding that, I was able to successfully pull a cert. The issue is, I have a firewall set up that blocks DNS requests from everywhere except my DNS servers (PiHole), so I had to pause that rule temporarily to get the request to go through.

Wondering what I can do here (if anything) to resolve this without having to disable my firewall rules regularly.

I would start by testing if you can resolve acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org from the PiHole and if not, see what you need to unblock that.

Did some more testing to get some details. The error I am getting from Traefik is that Cloudflare cannot create the record because it already exists (PiHole already has the entries). If I delete the records from PiHole, Traefik can then create the TXT records in Cloudflare.
