Please keep in mind that this software and even the acme-protocol are relatively young and may still have some unresolved issues.
Feel free to report any issues you find with this script or contribute by submitting a pullrequest.
## Usage:
Add domains to domains.txt like in this example:
```
example.com www.example.com
example.net www.example.net wiki.example.net
```
This states that there should be two certificates `example.com` and `example.net`,
with the other domains in the corresponding line being their alternative names.
You'll also need to set up a webserver to serve the challenge-response directory as configured with `$WELLKNOWN`,
or you can use the hook in the script if you want to deploy it some other way (e.g. copy it to a server via scp).
After doing those two things you can just `./letsencrypt.sh`, and it should generate certificates.
It can be used inside a cronjob as it automatically detects if a certificate is about to expire.
### nginx
If you want to use nginx you can set up a location block to serve your challenge responses:
```
location /.well-known/acme-challenge {
root /var/www/letsencrypt;
}
```
## Import
### import-account.pl
This perl-script can be used to import the account key from the original letsencrypt client.
You should copy `private_key.json` to the same directory as the script.
The json-file can be found in a subdirectory of `/etc/letsencrypt/accounts/acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory`.
Usage: `perl import-account.pl`
### import-certs.sh
This script can be used to import private keys and certificates created by the original letsencrypt client.
By default it expects the certificates to be found under `/etc/letsencrypt`, which is the default output directory of the original client.
You can change the path by setting LETSENCRYPT in your config file: ```LETSENCRYPT="/etc/letsencrypt"```.
Usage: `./import-certs.sh`
