@vollink@wandering.shop That's what this tool does, it manages everything for you. (Edit: removed "no" as it was unclear whether a no or yes meant "You don't need to do anything every 40 days")
Basically it works kinda like a dynamic DNS server. The client will go to LE and say "I want to renew vollink.com", LE will say "OK, well just make sure _acme-challenge.vollink.com is a TXT "abcd".
The client then tells the ACME DNS server to respond "abcd" when it gets the request for .acme-dns.vollink.com.
The thing is just glue to ensure that the request ends up going to the ACME DNS server and the ACME DNS server knows which domain is being requested. It doesn't change, it's just set up once.

@vollink@wandering.shop In other word, it's a "Put it in your wehserver's crontab and forget it" thing.
