# QuickStart Guide
|
||||
|
||||
Easy as 1, 2, 3... 4
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Create a node project
|
||||
|
||||
Create an empty node project.
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to fill out the package name, version, and an author email.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install --save greenlock-express@2.x
|
||||
mkdir ~/my-project
|
||||
pushd ~/my-project
|
||||
npm init
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# QuickStart
|
||||
## 2. Create an http app (i.e. express)
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- TODO better quickstart (fewer options) -->
|
||||
This example is shown with Express, but any node app will doGreenlock
|
||||
works with everything.
|
||||
(or any node-style http app)

|
||||
### Working Example Code
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a completely working example that will get you started.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js.git
|
||||
pushd greenlock-express.js
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
popd
|
||||
|
||||
# edit 'email' and 'approveDomains' in
|
||||
# greenlock-express.js/examples/simple.js
|
||||
|
||||
node greenlock-express.js/examples/simple.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All you have to do is start the webserver and then visit it at its domain name.
|
||||
|
||||
`server.js`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
"use strict";
|
||||
|
||||
require("greenlock-express")
|
||||
.create({
|
||||
email: "john.doe@example.com", // The email address of the ACME user / hosting provider
|
||||
agreeTos: true, // You must accept the ToS as the host which handles the certs
|
||||
configDir: "~/.config/acme/", // Writable directory where certs will be saved
|
||||
communityMember: true, // Join the community to get notified of important updates
|
||||
telemetry: true, // Contribute telemetry data to the project
|
||||
|
||||
// Using your express app:
|
||||
// simply export it as-is, then include it here
|
||||
app: require("./app.js")
|
||||
|
||||
//, debug: true
|
||||
})
|
||||
.listen(80, 443);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`app.js`:
|
||||
`my-express-app.js`:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
"use strict";
|
||||
|
||||
// A plain, node-style app
|
||||
|
||||
function myPlainNodeHttpApp(req, res) {
|
||||
res.end("Hello, Encrypted World!");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Wrap that plain app in express,
|
||||
// because that's what you're used to
|
||||
|
||||
var express = require("express");
|
||||
var app = express();
|
||||
app.get("/", myPlainNodeHttpApp);
|
||||
|
||||
app.use("/", function(req, res) {
|
||||
res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8");
|
||||
res.end("Hello, World!\n\n💚 🔒.js");
|
||||
});
|
||||
// export the app normally
|
||||
// do not .listen()
|
||||
|
||||
// Don't do this:
|
||||
// app.listen(3000)
|
||||
|
||||
// Do this instead:
|
||||
module.exports = app;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### `communityMember`
|
||||
## 3. Serve with Greenlock Express
|
||||
|
||||
If you're the kind of person that likes the kinds of stuff that I do,
|
||||
well, I want to do more of it and I'd like to get you involved.
|
||||
Greenlock Express is designed with these goals in mind:
|
||||
|
||||
As expected, by default we keep your email private and only use it for
|
||||
transactional messaging, urgent security or API updates
|
||||
(such as the mandatory upgrade to Let's Encrypt v2), and ACME account registration.
|
||||
- Simplicity and ease-of-use
|
||||
- Performance and scalability
|
||||
- Configurability and control
|
||||
|
||||
However, when you set the `communityMember` option to `true` we'll also
|
||||
inform you when there are meaningful and relavant feature updates (no bugfix noise),
|
||||
and give you early access to similar projects.
|
||||
You can start with **near-zero configuration** and
|
||||
slowly add options for greater performance and customization
|
||||
later, if you need them.
|
||||
|
||||
You can see our full privacy policy at <https://greenlock.domains/legal/#privacy>.
|
||||
`server.js`:
|
||||
|
||||
### What if the example didn't work?
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
require("greenlock-express")
|
||||
.init(getConfig)
|
||||
.serve(worker);
|
||||
|
||||
Double check the following:
|
||||
function getConfig() {
|
||||
return {
|
||||
// uses name and version as part of the ACME client user-agent
|
||||
// uses author as the contact for support notices
|
||||
package: require("./package.json")
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
- **Public Facing IP** for `http-01` challenges
|
||||
- Are you running this _as_ a public-facing webserver (good)? or localhost (bad)?
|
||||
- Does `ifconfig` show a public address (good)? or a private one - 10.x, 192.168.x, etc (bad)?
|
||||
- If you're on a non-public server, are you using the `dns-01` challenge?
|
||||
- **correct ACME version**
|
||||
- Let's Encrypt **v2** (ACME v2) must use `version: 'draft-11'`
|
||||
- Let's Encrypt v1 must use `version: 'v01'`
|
||||
- **valid email**
|
||||
- You MUST set `email` to a **valid address**
|
||||
- MX records must validate (`dig MX example.com` for `'john@example.com'`)
|
||||
- **valid DNS records**
|
||||
- Must have public DNS records (test with `dig +trace A example.com; dig +trace www.example.com` for `[ 'example.com', 'www.example.com' ]`)
|
||||
- **write access**
|
||||
- You MUST set `configDir` to a writeable location (test with `touch ~/acme/etc/tmp.tmp`)
|
||||
- **port binding privileges**
|
||||
- You MUST be able to bind to ports 80 and 443
|
||||
- You can do this via `sudo` or [`setcap`](https://gist.github.com/firstdoit/6389682)
|
||||
- **API limits**
|
||||
- You MUST NOT exceed the API [**usage limits**](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/) per domain, certificate, IP address, etc
|
||||
- **Red Lock, Untrusted**
|
||||
- You MUST use the **production** server url, not staging
|
||||
- The API URL should not have 'acme-staging-v02', but should have 'acme-v02'
|
||||
- Delete the `configDir` used for getting certificates in staging
|
||||
|
||||
### Production vs Staging
|
||||
|
||||
If at first you don't succeed, stop and switch to staging.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of common problems related to system configuration -
|
||||
firewalls, ports, permissions, etc - that you are likely to run up against
|
||||
when using greenlock for your first time.
|
||||
|
||||
I've put a "dry run" in place with built-in diagnostics, so hopefully
|
||||
you get everything right on your first or second try.
|
||||
|
||||
However, in order to avoid being blocked by hitting the bad request rate limits
|
||||
you should switch to using the `staging` server for any testing or debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
|
||||
```

|
||||
| **QuickStart** | [examples/quickstart.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/quickstart.js) uses the fewest options and accepts all default settings. It's guaranteed to work for you. |
|
||||
| Production | [examples/production.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/production.js) shows how to require an express app (or other middleware system), expand the `approveDomains` callback, provides an example database shim, and exposes the server instance. |
|
||||
| Virtual Hosting | [examples/vhost.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/vhost.js) shows how to dynamically secure and serve domains based on their existance on the file system. |
|
||||
| Wildcard Domains | [examples/wildcard.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/wildcard.js) shows how to use the `acme-dns-01-cli` and wildcard cetificates. |
|
||||
| HTTPS (raw) | [examples/spdy.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/spdy.js) demonstrates how to manually configure a node web server using the node's built-in `http` and `https` modules. |
|
||||
| HTTP2 (spdy) | Presently spdy is incompatible with node v11, but [examples/spdy.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/spdy.js) demonstrates how to manually configure a node web server with spdy-compatible versions of node and Greenlock. |
|
||||
| HTTP2 (node) | [examples/http2.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/http2.js) uses node's new HTTP2 module, which is NOT compatible with the existing middleware systems (and is not "stable" as of v10.0). |
|
||||
| WebSockets (ws) | [examples/websockets.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/websockets.js) demonstrates how to use Greenlock express with a websocket server. |
|
||||
| socket.io | [examples/socket.io.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/socket.io.js) demonstrates how to use Greenlock express with socket.io (even though `ws` is far simpler, faster, and better and every way). |

||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
The oversimplified example was the bait
|
||||
(because everyone seems to want an example that fits in 3 lines, even if it's terribly bad practices),
|
||||
now here's the switch.
|
||||
|
||||
We have another completely working example that will provides a little more to build off of.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js.git
|
||||
pushd greenlock-express.js
|
||||
npm install
|
||||
popd
|
||||
|
||||
# replace 'fooCheckDb' in
|
||||
# greenlock-express.js/examples/normal.js
|
||||
|
||||
node greenlock-express.js/examples/normal.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It looks a little more like this:
|
||||
|
||||
`serve.js`:
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
"use strict";
|
||||
|
||||
// returns an instance of greenlock.js with additional helper methods
|
||||
var glx = require("greenlock-express").create({
|
||||
server: "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
|
||||
// Note: If at first you don't succeed, stop and switch to staging:
|
||||
// https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
|
||||
version: "draft-11", // Let's Encrypt v2 (ACME v2)
|
||||
|
||||
// If you wish to replace the default account and domain key storage plugin
|
||||
store: require("le-store-certbot").create({
|
||||
configDir: require("path").join(require("os").homedir(), "acme", "etc"),
|
||||
webrootPath: "/tmp/acme-challenges"
|
||||
}),
|
||||
|
||||
// Contribute telemetry data to the project
|
||||
telemetry: true,
|
||||
|
||||
// the default servername to use when the client doesn't specify
|
||||
// (because some IoT devices don't support servername indication)
|
||||
servername: "example.com",
|
||||
|
||||
approveDomains: approveDomains
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
var server = glx.listen(80, 443, function() {
|
||||
console.log("Listening on port 80 for ACME challenges and 443 for express app.");
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: You shouldn't be using the plain HTTP server for anything except, potentially, for error handling
|
||||
on the listen event (if the default print-and-quit behavior doesn't work for your use case).
|
||||
If you need to do that, here's how:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
var plainServer = server.unencrypted;
|
||||
plainServer.on('error', function (err) { ... });
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The Automatic Certificate Issuance is initiated via SNI (`httpsOptions.SNICallback`).
|
||||
For security, domain validation MUST have an approval callback in _production_.
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
var http01 = require("le-challenge-fs").create({ webrootPath: "/tmp/acme-challenges" });
|
||||
function approveDomains(opts, certs, cb) {
|
||||
// This is where you check your database and associated
|
||||
// email addresses with domains and agreements and such
|
||||
// if (!isAllowed(opts.domains)) { return cb(new Error("not allowed")); }
|
||||
|
||||
// The domains being approved for the first time are listed in opts.domains
|
||||
// Certs being renewed are listed in certs.altnames (if that's useful)
|
||||
|
||||
// Opt-in to submit stats and get important updates
|
||||
opts.communityMember = true;
|
||||
|
||||
// If you wish to replace the default challenge plugin, you may do so here
|
||||
opts.challenges = { "http-01": http01 };
|
||||
|
||||
opts.email = "john.doe@example.com";
|
||||
opts.agreeTos = true;
|
||||
|
||||
// NOTE: you can also change other options such as `challengeType` and `challenge`
|
||||
// opts.challengeType = 'http-01';
|
||||
// opts.challenge = require('le-challenge-fs').create({});
|
||||
|
||||
cb(null, { options: opts, certs: certs });
|
||||
function worker(server) {
|
||||
// Works with any Node app (Express, etc)
|
||||
var app = require('my-express-app.js');
|
||||
server.serveApp(app);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```javascript
|
||||
// handles acme-challenge and redirects to https
|
||||
require("http")
|
||||
.createServer(glx.middleware(require("redirect-https")()))
|
||||
.listen(80, function() {
|
||||
console.log("Listening for ACME http-01 challenges on", this.address());
|
||||
});
|
||||
And start your server:
|
||||
|
||||
var app = require("express")();
|
||||
app.use("/", function(req, res) {
|
||||
res.end("Hello, World!");
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// handles your app
|
||||
require("https")
|
||||
.createServer(glx.httpsOptions, app)
|
||||
.listen(443, function() {
|
||||
console.log("Listening for ACME tls-sni-01 challenges and serve app on", this.address());
|
||||
});
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Allow non-root node to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS)
|
||||
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' $(which node)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Security**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# `npm start` will call `node ./server.js` by default
|
||||
npm start
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Greenlock will do a self-check on all domain registrations
|
||||
to prevent you from hitting rate limits.
|
||||
```txt
|
||||
Greenlock v3.0.0

||||

|
||||

# API
|
||||
Listening on 0.0.0.0:80 for ACME challenges and HTTPS redirects
|
||||
Listening on 0.0.0.0:443 for secure traffic
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This module is an elaborate ruse (to provide an oversimplified example and to nab some SEO).
|
||||
## 4. Manage domains
|
||||
|
||||
The API is actually located at [greenlock.js options](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock.js)
|
||||
(because all options are simply passed through to `greenlock.js` proper without modification).
|
||||
Management can be done via the **CLI** or the JavaScript [**API**](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock.js/).
|
||||
Since this is the QuickStart, we'll demo the **CLI**:
|
||||
|
||||
The only "API" consists of two options, the rest is just a wrapper around `greenlock.js` to take LOC from 15 to 5:
|
||||
You need to create a Let's Encrypt _subscriber account_, which can be done globally, or per-site.
|
||||
All individuals, and most businesses, should set this globally:
|
||||
|
||||
- `opts.app` An express app in the format `function (req, res) { ... }` (no `next`).
|
||||
- `server = glx.listen(plainAddr, tlsAddr, onListen)` Accepts port numbers (or arrays of port numbers) to listen on, returns secure server.
|
||||
- `listen(80, 443)`
|
||||
- `listen(80, 443, onListenSecure)`
|
||||
- `listen(80, 443, onListenPlain, onListenSecure)`
|
||||
- `listen('localhost:80', '0.0.0.0:443')`
|
||||
- `listen('[::1]:80', '[::]:443')`
|
||||
- `listen('/tmp/glx.plain.sock', '/tmp/glx.secure.sock')`
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Set a global subscriber account
|
||||
npx greenlock config --subscriber-email 'mycompany@example.com' --agree-to-terms true
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Brief overview of some simple options for `greenlock.js`:
|
||||
<!-- todo print where the key was saved -->
|
||||
|
||||
- `opts.server` set to https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory in production
|
||||
- `opts.version` set to `v01` for Let's Encrypt v1 or `draft-11` for Let's Encrypt v2 (mistakenly called ACME v2)
|
||||
- `opts.email` The default email to use to accept agreements.
|
||||
- `opts.agreeTos` When set to `true`, this always accepts the LetsEncrypt TOS. When a string it checks the agreement url first.
|
||||
- `opts.communityMember` Join the community to get notified of important updates and help make greenlock better
|
||||
- `opts.approveDomains` can be either of:
|
||||
- An explicit array of allowed domains such as `[ 'example.com', 'www.example.com' ]`
|
||||
- A callback `function (opts, certs, cb) { cb(null, { options: opts, certs: certs }); }` for setting `email`, `agreeTos`, `domains`, etc (as shown in usage example above)
|
||||
- `opts.renewWithin` is the **maximum** number of days (in ms) before expiration to renew a certificate.
|
||||
- `opts.renewBy` is the **minimum** number of days (in ms) before expiration to renew a certificate.
|
||||
A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate has a "Subject" (Primary Domain) and up to 100 "Alternative Names"
|
||||
(of which the first _must_ be the subject).
|
||||
|
||||
## Supported ACME versions
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add a certificate with specific domains
|
||||
npx greenlock add --subject example.com --altnames example.com,www.example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Let's Encrypt v1 (aka v01)
|
||||
- Let's Encrypt v2 (aka v02 or ACME draft 11)
|
||||
- ACME draft 11 (ACME v2 is a misnomer)
|
||||
- Wildcard domains (via dns-01 challenges)
|
||||
- `*.example.com`
|
||||
<!-- todo print where the cert was saved -->

||||

|
||||
This will update the config file (assuming the default fs-based management plugin):
|
||||
|
||||
`~/.config/greenlock/manager.json`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"subscriberEmail": "letsencrypt-test@therootcompany.com",
|
||||
"agreeToTerms": true,
|
||||
"sites": {
|
||||
"example.com": {
|
||||
"subject": "example.com",
|
||||
"altnames": ["example.com", "www.example.com"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: **Localhost**, **Wildcard**, and Certificates for Private Networks require
|
||||
