The fastest way to test/generate/renew Let's Encrypt SSL certificates!!!
Requires root access and a live webserver to run the script at.
The script must run on the live web server.
It supports multiple domains/sites on the same server to obtain a valid SSL certificate.
IT DOES NOT stop the server from running in order to validate!
If put on cron it renews automatically 7 days before expiration.
These scripts are based on the excellent work of the people at https://zerossl.com/.
Contains two (2) bash scripts:
- install.sh that will install and create the appropriate directories
- le.sh that handles all the SSL certificate generation/renewing
The install.sh script is for an Ubuntu/Debian Linux flavour.
If you need to install zerossl for another flavour just navigate here: https://zerossl.com/installation.html
Steps to install
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davidoster/letsencrypt-fast/master/install.shsudo chmod 744 ./install.sh./install.sh
Usage
Arguments
- domain = just the name of the domain without the TLD (.xyz) part
- www.domain.com,domain.com = the name of the domains you want to register. They need to be comma (,) separated
- path to web domain files = the full web path of your site, e.g. /var/html/www/
- operation = valid operations are: -t for testing, -l for true generation, -r for auto renewal on 7 days before expiration
Running
For testing
./le.sh domain www.domain.com,domain.com /path/to/webdomain/files/ -t
For real generation
./le.sh domain www.domain.com,domain.com /path/to/webdomain/files/ -l
For renewal (does it 7 days before expiration automatically)
./le.sh domain www.domain.com,domain.com /path/to/webdomain/files/ -r
Auto Renewal
Run the above command in host's cron, e.g.
0 18 * * 1,3,5 root /root/software/le.sh domain domain.com,www.domain.com /path/to/domain/ -r > /dev/null 2>&1
Certificate Files
You can find the domain.crt and domain.key files under
/root/software/keys/domain.key and use these paths to your webserver,
e.g.
/root/software/keys/domain.key/domain.crt
/root/software/keys/domain.key/domain.key
Also inside this directory you can find the domain.csr file along with the file account.key for the domain in let's encrypt systems.
This is a script to help people create their FREE SSL certificate for their site(s) in a very fast and convenient way. It uses the approach from https://zerossl.com/ and installs various Perl packages in order to work. For questions or enhancements : support [at] eletter [dot] gr
