Various errors on the openbsd instructions

I'm reporting a slight mistake. On the instructions for installing certbot on openbsd, it gives a few commands that use sudo instead of doas. For example:

sudo certbot certonly --standalone
sudo certbot certonly --webroot
echo "0 0,12 * * * root python -c 'import random; import time; time.sleep(random.random() * 3600)' && sudo certbot renew -q" | sudo tee -a /etc/crontab > /dev/null

I should also mention that the instructions for adding a wildcard domain are unclear. For example the command pkg_add -cloudflare just gives me pkg_add: bad list oudflare: No such file or directory. I'm don't think packages like this exist on openbsd.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

@zoracon I think this is another one for E&D.

  1. sudodoas, or just nothing at all. The old website didn't use any command to escalate to root. sudo appears in:
    1. "Choose how you'd like to run Certbot"
    2. "Set up automatic renewal"
  2. The wildcard issue probably affects multiple OSes, like Windows, where the DNS plugins are simply not available. I think we need to talk about and decide what to do about those instruction pages.
