Install

=======
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install --save greenlock@2.x
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Ignore errors related to `ursa`. It is an optional dependency used when available.
|
|
For many people it will not install properly, but it's only necessary on ARM devices (i.e. Raspberry Pi).
|
|
|
|
Easy as 1, 2, 3... 4
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Greenlock is built to incredibly easy to use, without sacrificing customization or extensibility.
|
|
|
|
The following examples range from just a few lines of code for getting started,
|
|
to more robust examples that you might start with for an enterprise-grade use of the ACME api.
|
|
|
|
* Automatic HTTPS (for single sites)
|
|
* Fully Automatic HTTPS (for multi-domain vhosts)
|
|
* Manual HTTPS (for API integration)
|
|
|
|
Automatic HTTPS
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
**Note**: For (fully) automatic HTTPS you may prefer
|
|
the [Express.js module](https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/greenlock-express.js)
|
|
|
|
This works for most people, but it's not as fun as some of the other examples.
|
|
|
|
Great when
|
|
|
|
- [x] You only need a limited number of certificates
|
|
- [x] You want to use the bare node http and https modules without fluff

Manual HTTPS
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Here's a taste of the API that you might use if building a commandline tool or API integration
|
|
that doesn't use node's SNICallback.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
var staging = true;
|
|
|
|
|
|
/////////////////////
|
|
// SET USER PARAMS //
|
|
/////////////////////
|
|
|
|
var opts = {
|
|
domains: [ 'example.com' // CHANGE EMAIL AND DOMAINS
|
|
, 'www.example.com' ]
|
|
, email: 'user@example.com'
|
|
, agreeTos: true // Accept Let's Encrypt v2 Agreement
|
|
, communityMember: true // Help make Greenlock better by submitting
|
|
// stats and getting updates
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
////////////////////
|
|
// INIT GREENLOCK //
|
|
////////////////////
|
|
|
|
var greenlock = require('greenlock').create({
|
|
version: 'draft-11'
|
|
, server: 'https://acme-' + (staging ? 'staging-' : '') + 'v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory'
|
|
, configDir: '/tmp/acme/etc'
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
///////////////////
|
|
// GET TLS CERTS //
|
|
///////////////////
|
|
|
|
greenlock.register(opts).then(function (certs) {
|
|
console.log(certs);
|
|
// privkey, cert, chain, expiresAt, issuedAt, subject, altnames
|
|
}, function (err) {
|
|
console.error(err);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The domain key and ssl certificates you get back can be used in a webserver like this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var tlsOptions = { key: certs.privkey, cert: certs.cert + '\r\n' + certs.chain };
|
|
require('https').createServer(tlsOptions, function (req, res) {
|
|
res.end('Hello, Secure World!');
|
|
}).listen(443);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example with ALL OPTIONS
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
The configuration consists of 3 components:
|
|
|
|
* Storage Backend (search npm for projects starting with 'le-store-')
|
|
* ACME Challenge Handlers (search npm for projects starting with 'le-challenge-')
|
|
* Letsencryt Config (this is all you)
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
var Greenlock = require('greenlock');
|
|
var greenlock;
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Storage Backend
|
|
var leStore = require('le-store-certbot').create({
|
|
configDir: '~/acme/etc' // or /etc/letsencrypt or wherever
|
|
, debug: false
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
// ACME Challenge Handlers
|
|
var leHttpChallenge = require('le-challenge-fs').create({
|
|
webrootPath: '~/acme/var/' // or template string such as
|
|
, debug: false // '/srv/www/:hostname/.well-known/acme-challenge'
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
function leAgree(opts, agreeCb) {
|
|
// opts = { email, domains, tosUrl }
|
|
agreeCb(null, opts.tosUrl);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
greenlock = Greenlock.create({
|
|
version: 'draft-11' // 'draft-11' or 'v01'
|
|
// 'draft-11' is for Let's Encrypt v2 otherwise known as ACME draft 11
|
|
// 'v02' is an alias for 'draft-11'
|
|
// 'v01' is for the pre-spec Let's Encrypt v1
|
|
//
|

//server: 'https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory'
|
|
|
|
, store: leStore // handles saving of config, accounts, and certificates
|
|
, challenges: {
|
|
'http-01': leHttpChallenge // handles /.well-known/acme-challege keys and tokens
|
|
}
|
|
, challengeType: 'http-01' // default to this challenge type
|
|
, agreeToTerms: leAgree // hook to allow user to view and accept LE TOS
|
|
//, sni: require('le-sni-auto').create({}) // handles sni callback
|
|
|
|
// renewals happen at a random time within this window
|
|
, renewWithin: 14 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // certificate renewal may begin at this time
|
|
, renewBy: 10 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000 // certificate renewal should happen by this time
|
|
|
|
, debug: false
|
|
//, log: function (debug) {console.log.apply(console, args);} // handles debug outputs
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
// If using express you should use the middleware
|
|
// app.use('/', greenlock.middleware());
|
|
//
|
|
// Otherwise you should see the test file for usage of this:
|
|
// greenlock.challenges['http-01'].get(opts.domain, key, val, done)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Check in-memory cache of certificates for the named domain
|
|
greenlock.check({ domains: [ 'example.com' ] }).then(function (results) {
|
|
if (results) {
|
|
// we already have certificates
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Register Certificate manually
|
|
greenlock.register({
|
|
|
|
domains: ['example.com'] // CHANGE TO YOUR DOMAIN (list for SANS)
|
|
, email: 'user@email.com' // CHANGE TO YOUR EMAIL
|
|
, agreeTos: '' // set to tosUrl string (or true) to pre-approve (and skip agreeToTerms)
|
|
, rsaKeySize: 2048 // 2048 or higher
|
|
, challengeType: 'http-01' // http-01, tls-sni-01, or dns-01
|
|
|
|
}).then(function (results) {
|
|
|
|
console.log('success');
|
|
|
|
}, function (err) {
|
|
|
|
// Note: you must either use greenlock.middleware() with express,
|
|
// manually use greenlock.challenges['http-01'].get(opts, domain, key, val, done)
|
|
// or have a webserver running and responding
|
|
// to /.well-known/acme-challenge at `webrootPath`
|
|
console.error('[Error]: node-greenlock/examples/standalone');
|
|
console.error(err.stack);
|
|
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's what `results` looks like:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
{ privkey: '' // PEM encoded private key
|
|
, cert: '' // PEM encoded cert
|
|
, chain: '' // PEM encoded intermediate cert
|
|
, issuedAt: 0 // notBefore date (in ms) parsed from cert
|
|
, expiresAt: 0 // notAfter date (in ms) parsed from cert
|
|
, subject: '' // example.com
|
|
, altnames: [] // example.com,www.example.com
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
API
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The full end-user API is exposed in the example above and includes all relevant options.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
greenlock.register(opts)
|
|
greenlock.check(opts)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Helper Functions
|
|
|
|
We do expose a few helper functions:
|
|
|
|
* Greenlock.validDomain(hostname) // returns '' or the hostname string if it's a valid ascii or punycode domain name
|
|
|
|
TODO fetch domain tld list
|
|
|
|
### Template Strings
|
|
|
|
The following variables will be tempalted in any strings passed to the options object:
|
|
|
|
* `~/` replaced with `os.homedir()` i.e. `/Users/aj`
|
|
* `:hostname` replaced with the first domain in the list i.e. `example.com`
|
|
|
|
Developer API
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
If you are developing an `le-store-*` or `le-challenge-*` plugin you need to be aware of
|
|
additional internal API expectations.
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT**:
|
|
|
|
Use `v2.0.0` as your initial version - NOT v0.1.0 and NOT v1.0.0 and NOT v3.0.0.
|
|
This is to indicate that your module is compatible with v2.x of node-greenlock.
|
|
|
|
Since the public API for your module is defined by node-greenlock the major version
|
|
should be kept in sync.
|
|
|
|
### store implementation
|
|
|
|
See <https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/le-store-SPEC.js>
|
|
|
|
* getOptions()
|
|
* accounts.
|
|
* checkKeypair(opts, cb)
|
|
* check(opts, cb)
|
|
* setKeypair(opts, keypair, cb)
|
|
* set(opts, reg, cb)
|

|
|
* check(opts, cb)
|
|
* setKeypair(opts, keypair, cb)
|
|
* set(opts, reg, cb)
|
|
|
|
### challenge implementation
|
|
|
|
See https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/le-challenge-fs.js
|
|
|
|
* `.set(opts, domain, key, value, cb);` // opts will be saved with domain/key
|
|
* `.get(opts, domain, key, cb);` // opts will be retrieved by domain/key
|
|
* `.remove(opts, domain, key, cb);` // opts will be retrieved by domain/key
|
