This webpage provides instructions for using the acme-dns DNS challenge method with various ACME clients to obtain HTTPS certificates for private networks. Caddy, Traefik, cert-manager, acme.sh, LEGO and Certify The Web are listed as ACME clients that support acme-dns. For each client, configuration examples are provided that show how to set API credentials and other settings to use the acme-dns service at https://api.getlocalcert.net/api/v1/acme-dns-compat to obtain certificates. Interesting that so many ACME clients support the acme-dns service, providing an easy way to obtain HTTPS certificates for private networks.

Yep, caddy was as easy as to use xcaddy with the module of my DNS, configure the key and run caddy, that’s it xD.
For what lolinder mentioned in the news link you need to have port 80 open.
If you don’t want that you could configure local authority, but that’ll give the warning of a selfsigned certificate.
