letsencrypt cookbook

Automatically get/renew free and trusted certificates from Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org).

Attributes

default

  • node['letsencrypt']['contact'] - Contact information, default empty.
  • node['letsencrypt']['endpoint'] - ACME server endpoint, default 'https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org'. Set to https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org for real certificates.
  • node['letsencrypt']['renew'] - Days before the certificate expires at which the certificate will be renewed, default 30.

Recipes

default

Installs the required acme-client rubygem.

Usage

Use the letsencrypt_certificate provider to request a certificate. The webserver for the domain for which you are requesting a certificate must be running on the local server. Currently only the http validation method is supported. Provide the path to your wwwroot for the specified domain.

letsencrypt_certificate 'test.example.com' do
  crt      '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.crt'
  key      '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.key'
  method   'http'
  wwwroot  '/var/www'
end

In case your webserver needs an already existing certificate when installing a new server you will have a bootstrap problem. Webserver cannot start without certificate, but the certificate cannot be requested without the running webserver. To overcome this a self-signed certificate can be generated with the letsencrypt_selfsigned provider.

letsencrypt_selfsigned 'test.example.com' do
  crt     '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.crt'
  key     '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.key'
end

A working example can be found in the included acme_client test cookbook.
