SVC mode

In the SVC mode, username and passsword are not your email and account passwords, but those displayed in Joker.com domain dashboard when enabling Dynamic DNS.

As per Joker.com documentation:

  1. please log in at Joker.com, visit ‘My Domains’, find the domain you want to add Let’s Encrypt certificate for, and chose “DNS” in the menu

  2. on the top right, you will find the setting for ‘Dynamic DNS’. If not already active, please activate it. It will not affect any other already existing DNS records of this domain.

  3. please take a note of the credentials which are now shown as ‘Dynamic DNS Authentication’, consisting of a ‘username’ and a ‘password’.

  4. this is all you have to do here - and only once per domain.
