I’m not even sure this title makes sense. I’m looking to handle LE certificates in cloudflare automatically. Specifically multi level subdomains.
You can hand off subdomain certs to them for single level, but the moment you want multi level you need to manage the certs yourself.
What I’m hoping for is an open source/self hosted tool that is meant to handle certificate requests and distribution. I just don’t know if such a tool even exists, and searching around hasn’t yielded results.
Does anyone have any thoughts?


In any program, you still have to execute a challenge somewhere. No program will issue certificates without that. In the case of certbot, you can simply write a small post hook that will transfer the certificates to cloudflare.
