cdist-type__letsencrypt_cert(7)
===============================
NAME
----
cdist-type__letsencrypt_cert - Get an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Automatically obtain a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate using Certbot.
This type attempts to setup automatic renewals always. In many Linux
distributions, that is the case out of the box, see:
https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#automated-renewals
For Alpine Linux and Arch Linux, we setup a system-wide cronjob that
attempts to renew certificates daily.
If you are using FreeBSD, we configure periodic(8) as recommended by
the port mantainer, so there will be a weekly attempt at renewal.
If your OS is not mentioned here or on Certbot's docs as having
support for automated renewals, please make sure you check your OS
and possibly patch this type so the system-wide cronjob is installed.
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
object id
A cert name. If domain parameter is not specified then it is used
as a domain to be included in the certificate.
admin-email
Where to send Let's Encrypt emails like "certificate needs renewal".
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
state
'present' or 'absent', defaults to 'present' where:
present
if the certificate does not exist, it will be obtained
absent
the certificate will be removed
webroot
The path to your webroot, as set up in your webserver config. If this
parameter is not present, Certbot will be run in standalone mode.
OPTIONAL MULTIPLE PARAMETERS
----------------------------
domain
Domains to be included in the certificate. When specified then object id
is not used as a domain.
deploy-hook
Command to be executed only when the certificate associated with this
``$__object_id`` is issued or renewed.
You can specify it multiple times, but any failure will prevent further
commands from being executed.
For this command, the
shell variable ``$RENEWED_LINEAGE`` will point to the
config live subdirectory (for example,
``/etc/letsencrypt/live/${__object_id}``) containing the
new certificates and keys; the shell variable
``$RENEWED_DOMAINS`` will contain a space-delimited list
of renewed certificate domains (for example,
``example.com www.example.com``)
pre-hook
Command to be run in a shell before obtaining any
certificates.
You can specify it multiple times, but any failure will prevent further
commands from being executed.
Note these run regardless of which certificate is attempted, you may want to
manage these system-wide hooks with ``__file`` in
``/etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/pre/``.
Intended primarily for renewal, where it
can be used to temporarily shut down a webserver that
might conflict with the standalone plugin. This will
only be called if a certificate is actually to be
obtained/renewed.
post-hook
Command to be run in a shell after attempting to
obtain/renew certificates.
You can specify it multiple times, but any failure will prevent further
commands from being executed.
Note these run regardless of which certificate was attempted, you may want to
manage these system-wide hooks with ``__file`` in
``/etc/letsencrypt/renewal-hooks/post/``.
Can be used to deploy
renewed certificates, or to restart any servers that
were stopped by --pre-hook. This is only run if an
attempt was made to obtain/renew a certificate.
BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
staging
Obtain a test certificate from a staging server.
MESSAGES
--------
change
Certificate was changed.
create
Certificate was created.
remove
Certificate was removed.
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# use object id as domain
__letsencrypt_cert example.com \
--admin-email root@example.com \
--deploy-hook "service nginx reload" \
--webroot /data/letsencrypt/root
.. code-block:: sh
# domain parameter is specified so object id is not used as domain
# and example.com needs to be included again with domain parameter
__letsencrypt_cert example.com \
--admin-email root@example.com \
--domain example.com \
--domain foo.example.com \
--domain bar.example.com \
--deploy-hook "service nginx reload" \
--webroot /data/letsencrypt/root
