I use certbot with Lets Encrypt and it has lots of plugins for alternative auth methods. I use the DNS challenge method and it will automatically add the record to my public host and validate the cert that way. Let's me use valid certs internally without having to expose anything to the internet for the challenge.

Reminder for wild card certs:

*.domain.com

Does not cover:

*.internal.domain.com

So make sure you add both wildcards in your certbot/ngxpm/traefik/acme.sh request.

Unless I'm mistaken, its also worth noting that *.domain.com won't cover domain.com either. But SANs are free with and easy with Lets Encrypt so it's not a big hurdle.
