# letsencrypt-koa # letsencrypt-koa
Free SSL and Automatic HTTPS for node.js with KOA and other middleware systems via Let's Encrypt Free SSL and Automatic HTTPS for node.js with KOA and other middleware systems via Let's Encrypt
* Automatic Registration via SNI (`httpsOptions.SNICallback`)
* **registrations** require an **approval callback** in *production*
* Automatic Renewal (around 80 days)
* **renewals** are *fully automatic* and happen in the *background*, with **no downtime**
* Automatic vhost / virtual hosting
All you have to do is start the webserver and then visit it at it's domain name.
## Install
```
npm install --save letsencrypt-express
```
### Part 1: Setup
```javascript
'use strict';
/* Note: using staging server url, remove .testing() for production
Using .testing() will overwrite the debug flag with true */
var LEX = require('letsencrypt-express').testing();
var lex = LEX.create({
configDir: require('os').homedir() + '/letsencrypt/etc'
, approveRegistration: function (hostname, cb) { // leave `null` to disable automatic registration
// Note: this is the place to check your database to get the user associated with this domain
cb(null, {
domains: [hostname]
, email: 'CHANGE_ME' // user@example.com
, agreeTos: true
});
}
});
```
WARNING: If you don't do any checks and simply complete `approveRegistration` callback, an attacker will spoof SNI packets with bad hostnames and that will cause you to be rate-limited and or blocked from the ACME server. Alternatively, You can run registration *manually*:
```bash
npm install -g letsencrypt-cli
letsencrypt certonly --standalone \
--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'); // Note: some have reported trouble with `http2` and success with `spdy`
var koa = require('koa');
var app = koa();
var redirectHttps = koa().use(require('koa-force-ssl').callback();
app.use(function *() {
this.body = 'Hello World';
});
var server = https.createServer(lex.httpsOptions, LEX.createAcmeResponder(lex, app.callback()));
var redirectServer = http.createServer(LEX.createAcmeResponder(lex, redirectHttps)));
server.listen(443, function () {
console.log('Listening at https://localhost:' + this.address().port);
});
redirectServer.listen(80, function () {
console.log('Redirecting insecure traffic from http://localhost:' + this.address().port + ' to https');
});
```
