+#### Reset the Environment
+
+If the snap has been built before, the instructions below clean up the build environment so it can reliably be used again.
+
+ 1. `snapcraft clean --use-lxd`
+ 2. [Optional] `mv certbot_*_amd64.snap certbot_amd64.snap.bak`
+
+#### Build the Certbot Snap
+
+These are the steps to build and install the Certbot snap. If you have run these steps before, you may want to run the commands in the section above to clean things up or save a previous build before building the snap again (running `snapcraft` again will overwrite the previous snap).
 
  1. Run `snapcraft --use-lxd`.
  2. Install the generated snap with `sudo snap install --dangerous --classic certbot_*_amd64.snap`. You can transfer the snap to a different machine to run it there instead if you prefer.
- 3. Run `tools/merge_requirements.py tools/dev_constraints.txt <(tools/strip_hashes.py letsencrypt-auto-source/pieces/dependency-requirements.txt) > certbot-dns-dnsimple/snap-constraints.txt` (this is a workaround for https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8100).
- 4. `cd certbot-dns-dnsimple`
- 5. `snapcraft --use-lxd`
- 6. Run `sudo snap set certbot trust-plugin-with-root=ok`.
- 7. Install the generated snap with `sudo snap install --dangerous certbot-dns-dnsimple_*_amd64.snap`. Again, you can transfer the snap to a different machine to run it there instead if you prefer.
- 8. Connect the plugin with `sudo snap connect certbot:plugin certbot-dns-dnsimple`.
- 9. Connect the plugin metadata with `sudo snap connect certbot-dns-dnsimple:certbot-metadata certbot:certbot-metadata`. Install the plugin again to test refresh; logs are at `/var/snap/certbot-dns-dnsimple/current/debuglog`.
- 10. Now you can run Certbot as normal. For example, `certbot plugins` should display the DNSimple plugin as installed.

+#### Build a Certbot Plugin Snap
+
+These are the steps to build and install the Certbot DNSimple plugin snap. If you have run these steps before, you may want to run the commands in the section above to clean things up or save a previous build before building the snap again (running `snapcraft` again will overwrite the previous snap).
+
+ 1. Run `tools/snap/generate_dnsplugins_all.sh` to generate all necessary files for all plugin snaps.
+ 2. `cd certbot-dns-dnsimple`
+ 3. `snapcraft --use-lxd`
+ 4. Run `sudo snap set certbot trust-plugin-with-root=ok`.
+ 5. Install the generated snap with `sudo snap install --dangerous certbot-dns-dnsimple_*_amd64.snap`. Again, you can transfer the snap to a different machine to run it there instead if you prefer.
+ 6. Connect the plugin with `sudo snap connect certbot:plugin certbot-dns-dnsimple`.
+ 7. Connect the plugin metadata with `sudo snap connect certbot-dns-dnsimple:certbot-metadata certbot:certbot-metadata`. Install the plugin again to test refresh; logs are at `/var/snap/certbot-dns-dnsimple/current/debuglog`.
+
+#### Run
+
+Run Certbot as normal. For example, `certbot plugins` should display the DNSimple plugin as installed.
+
+## Building for Other Architectures
+
+To build for an unavailable architecture or for multiple architectures simultaneously, we recommend using snapcraft's remote build feature.
+It is easiest to run this from a local machine.
+
+### Initial Local Setup
+
+ 1. Create or log into an Ubuntu One account [here](https://login.launchpad.net/).
+ 2. Install git and python with `sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y git python`.
+ 3. Install snapcraft with `sudo snap install --classic snapcraft`.
+ 4. `cd ~` (or any other directory where you want our source files to be)
+ 5. Run `git clone git://github.com/certbot/certbot`
+ 6. `cd certbot` (All further instructions are relative to this directory.)
+ 7. To trigger `snapcraft` to request access to your Launchpad account, run
+    `snapcraft remote-build --launchpad-accept-public-upload --status`. A URL where you need
+    to grant this access will be printed to your terminal and automatically open in your browser
+    if one is available.
+
+### Build Snaps Remotely
+
+Certbot provides a wrapper around snapcraft's remote build to make building all of our plugins easier. To see all available
+options, run `python3 tools/snap/build_remote.py --help`.
+
+For example, to build all available snaps for all architectures, run `python3 tools/snap/build_remote.py ALL --archs amd64 arm64 armhf`.
+
+To build only the certbot snap on only amd64, run `python3 tools/snap/build_remote.py certbot --archs armhf`.
+
+The command will upload the entire contents of the working directory, so if the remote build
+appears to hang, try using a clean clone of the `certbot` repository.
