That's what my setup uses for everything else; my ACME client writes to
my zonefiles through a small script.

The solution with minimal total sum of work for both of us is probably
if you change the dns record for patchwork.quagga.net to:
  patchwork.quagga.net. IN NS ns.diac24.net.
so I can put the acme challenge there and get the certificate.

(My DNS server already serves the zone, set that up in the past 5 min)
