Here's a simple snippet:
```javascript
```
var config = require('./examples/config-minimal');
config.le.webrootPath = __dirname + './tests/acme-challenge';
var le = require('letsencrypt').create(config.backend, config.le);
le.register({
domains: ['example.com', 'www.example.com']
, email: 'user@example.com'
, agreeTos: true
, webrootPath: '/srv/www/example.com/public'
}, function (err, certs) {
// do stuff
agreeTos: true
, domains: ['example.com'] // CHANGE TO YOUR DOMAIN
, email: 'user@email.com' // CHANGE TO YOUR EMAIL
}, function (err) {
if (err) {
console.error('[Error]: node-letsencrypt/examples/standalone');
console.error(err.stack);
} else {
console.log('success');
}
plainServer.close();
tlsServer.close();
});
// IMPORTANT
// you also need BOTH an http AND https server
//
// app.use('/', express.static(config.le.webrootPath))
```
**However**, due to the nature of what this library does, it has a few more "moving parts"
than what makes sense to show in a minimal snippet.
### One Time Registration
Examples
========
* [commandline (standalone with "webroot")](https://github.com/Daplie/node-letsencrypt/blob/master/examples/commandline.js)
### One-Time Registration
```bash
# manual standalone registration via commandline
# (runs against testing server on tls port 5001)
node examples/commandline.js example.com,www.example.com user@example.net agree
```
