Alternatively, You can run registration *manually*: ```bash npm install -g greenlock-cli greenlock certonly --standalone \ --server 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory' \ --config-dir ~/letsencrypt/etc \ --agree-tos --domains example.com --email user@example.com # Note: the '--webrootPath' option is also available if you don't want to shut down your webserver to get the cert. ``` ### Part 2: Just add Koa ```javascript var http = require('http'); var https = require('spdy'); var koa = require('koa'); var app = koa(); app.use(function *() { this.body = 'Hello World'; }); var server = https.createServer(le.httpsOptions, le.middleware(app.callback())); server.listen(443, function () { console.log('Listening at https://localhost:' + this.address().port); }); var http = require('http'); var redirectHttps = koa().use(require('koa-sslify')()).callback(); http.createServer(le.middleware(redirectHttps)).listen(80, function () { console.log('handle ACME http-01 challenge and redirect to https'); }); ```
