# Looking for Quick 'n' Easy™?

|
|
This is intented for building ACME API clients in node.js. It is **not** a high-level, fully-integrated solution.

# Demonstration
|
|
|
|
As this is intended to *build* ACME clients, there is not a simple 2-line example.
|
|
|
|
I'd recommend first trying out one of the [greenlock-express.js](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/greenlock-express.js)
|
|
or [Greenlock for Web Servers](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/greenlock-cli.js) examples,
|
|
which are guaranteed to work and have great error checking to help you debug.
|
|
|
|
Then I'd recommend running the example CLI client with a test domain and then investigating the files used for that example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/acme.js.git
|
|
pushd acme.js/
|
|
node examples/cli.js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The example cli has the following prompts:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
What web address(es) would you like to get certificates for? (ex: example.com,*.example.com)
|
|
What challenge will you be testing today? http-01 or dns-01? [http-01]
|
|
What email should we use? (optional)
|
|
What directoryUrl should we use? [https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory]
|
|
|
|
Put the string 'mBfh0SqaAV3MOK3B6cAhCbIReAyDuwuxlO1Sl70x6bM.VNAzCR4THe4czVzo9piNn73B1ZXRLaB2CESwJfKkvRM' into a file at 'example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/mBfh0SqaAV3MOK3B6cAhCbIReAyDuwuxlO1Sl70x6bM'
|
|
|
|
echo 'mBfh0SqaAV3MOK3B6cAhCbIReAyDuwuxlO1Sl70x6bM.VNAzCR4THe4czVzo9piNn73B1ZXRLaB2CESwJfKkvRM' > 'example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/mBfh0SqaAV3MOK3B6cAhCbIReAyDuwuxlO1Sl70x6bM'
|
|
|
|
Then hit the 'any' key to continue...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When you've completed the challenge you can hit a key to continue the process.
|
|
|
|
If you place the certificate you receive back in `tests/fullchain.pem`
|
|
then you can test it with `examples/https-server.js`.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
examples/cli.js
|
|
examples/genkeypair.js
|
|
examples/https-server.js
|
|
examples/http-server.js
|
|
```

# Let's Encrypt v2 / ACME draft 11 Support
|
|
|
|
This library (acme.js) supports ACME [*draft 11*](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-acme-acme-11),
|
|
otherwise known as Let's Encrypt v2 (or v02).
|
|
|
|
* ACME draft 11
|
|
* Let's Encrypt v2
|
|
* Let's Encrypt v02
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Production URL

```
|
|
# Staging URL
|
|
https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

# Install
|
|
|
|
Install via npm
|
|
|

```bash
|
|
npm install --save acme
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install via git
|
|

# API
|
|
|
|
This API is an evolution of le-acme-core,
|
|
but tries to provide a better mapping to the new draft 11 APIs.
|
|
|
|
Status: Almost stable, but **not semver locked**.
|
|
|
|
Patch versions will not introduce breaking changes,
|
|
but may introduce lower-level APIs.
|
|
Minor versions may change return values to include more information.
|
|
|
|
### Overview
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
var ACME = require('acme').ACME;
|
|
|
|
ACME.create(opts)
|
|
|
|
acme.init(acmeDirectoryUrl)
|
|
acme.accounts.create(opts)
|
|
acme.certificates.create(opts)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Detailed Explanation
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
var ACME = require('acme').ACME;
|
|
|
|
// Create Instance (Dependency Injection)
|
|
var acme = ACME.create({
|
|
RSA: require('rsa-compat').RSA
|
|
|
|
// other overrides
|
|
, request: require('request')
|
|
, promisify: require('util').promisify
|
|
|
|
// used for constructing user-agent
|
|
, os: require('os')
|
|
, process: require('process')
|
|
|
|
// used for overriding the default user-agent
|
|
, userAgent: 'My custom UA String'
|
|
, getUserAgentString: function (deps) { return 'My custom UA String'; }
|
|
|
|
// don't try to validate challenges locally
|
|
, skipChallengeTest: false
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Discover Directory URLs
|
|
acme.init(acmeDirectoryUrl) // returns Promise<acmeUrls={keyChange,meta,newAccount,newNonce,newOrder,revokeCert}>
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Accounts
|
|
acme.accounts.create(options) // returns Promise<regr> registration data
|
|
|
|
{ email: '<email>' // valid email (server checks MX records)
|
|
, accountKeypair: { // privateKeyPem or privateKeyJwt
|
|
privateKeyPem: '<ASCII PEM>'
|
|
}
|
|
, agreeToTerms: fn (tosUrl) {} // returns Promise with tosUrl
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Registration
|
|
acme.certificates.create(options) // returns Promise<pems={ privkey (key), cert, chain (ca) }>
|
|
|
|
{ newAuthzUrl: '<url>' // specify acmeUrls.newAuthz
|
|
, newCertUrl: '<url>' // specify acmeUrls.newCert
|
|
|
|
, domainKeypair: {
|
|
privateKeyPem: '<ASCII PEM>'
|
|
}
|
|
, accountKeypair: {
|
|
privateKeyPem: '<ASCII PEM>'
|
|
}
|
|
, domains: [ 'example.com' ]
|
|
|
|
, setChallenge: fn (hostname, key, val) // return Promise
|
|
, removeChallenge: fn (hostname, key) // return Promise
|
|
}
|
