# Quick Start
Greenlock is fully-automated, **SSL Certificate Manager** for IoT, Web Hosting, and Enterprise On-Prem, Edge, and Hybrid Cloud.
(though we started building it for [Home Servers](https://rootprojects.org/hub/))
You can use it for one-off certificates, like `certbot`,
but it is _much_ more powerful than that.
By setting just a few callbacks to let it know where it should store private keys and certificates,
it will automatically renew any certificate that you add to it, as long as the process is running.
Certificates are renewed every 45 days by default, and renewal checks will happen several times a day.
<details>
<summary>1. Configure</summary>
```js
'use strict';
var pkg = require('./package.json');
var Greenlock = require('greenlock');
var greenlock = Greenlock.create({
packageAgent: pkg.name + '/' + pkg.version,
maintainerEmail: pkg.author,
staging: true,
manager: require('greenlock-manager-fs').create({
configFile: '~/.config/greenlock/manager.json'
}),
notify: function(event, details) {
if ('error' === event) {
// `details` is an error object in this case
console.error(details);
}
}
});
greenlock.manager
.defaults({
agreeToTerms: true,
subscriberEmail: 'webhosting@example.com'
})
.then(function(fullConfig) {
// ...
});
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>2. Add Domains</summary>
The `subject` (primary domain on certificate) will be the id,
so it's very important that the order of the given domains
be deterministic.
```js
var altnames = ['example.com', 'www.example.com'];
greenlock
.add({
subject: altnames[0],
altnames: altnames
})
.then(function() {
// saved config to db (or file system)
});
```
Issuance and renewal will start immediately, and run continually.
</details>
<details>
<summary>3. Test for Success</summary>
The `store` callbacks will be called every any of your certificates
are renewed.
However, you can do a quick one-off check with `get`.
It will return a certificate immediately (if available),
or wait for the renewal to complete (or for it to fail again).
```js
greenlock
.get({ servername: subject })
.then(function(pems) {
if (pems && pems.privkey && pems.cert && pems.chain) {
console.info('Success');
}
//console.log(pems);
})
.catch(function(e) {
console.error('Big bad error:', e.code);
console.error(e);
});
```
