Are these the droids you're looking for?
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
This is a **low-level library** for implementing ACME / LetsEncrypt Clients, CLIs,
|
|
system tools, and abstracting storage backends (file vs db, etc).
|
|
|
|
For `express`, raw `https` or `spdy`, or `restify` (same as raw https) see
|
|
[**letsencrypt-express**](https://github.com/Daplie/letsencrypt-express) and [letsencrypt-cluster](https://github.com/Daplie/letsencrypt-cluster).
|
|
|
|
For `hapi` see [letsencrypt-hapi](https://github.com/Daplie/letsencrypt-hapi).
|
|
|
|
For `koa` or `rill`
|
|
see [letsencrypt-koa](https://github.com/Daplie/letsencrypt-koa).
|
|
|
|
For `bash`, `fish`, `zsh`, `cmd.exe`, `PowerShell`
|
|
see [**letsencrypt-cli**](https://github.com/Daplie/letsencrypt-cli).
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
`letsencrypt` requires at least two plugins:
|
|
one for managing certificate storage and the other for handling ACME challenges.
|
|
|
|
The default storage plugin is [`le-store-certbot`](https://github.com/Daplie/le-store-certbot)
|
|
and the default challenge is [`le-challenge-fs`](https://github.com/Daplie/le-challenge-fs).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install --save letsencrypt@2.x
|
|
|
|
npm install --save le-store-certbot@2.x # default plugin for accounts, certificates, and keypairs
|
|
npm install --save le-challenge-fs@2.x # default plugin for challenge handlers
|
|
npm install --save le-acme-core@2.x # default plugin for ACME spec
|
|
npm install --save le-sni-auto@2.x # default plugin for SNICallback
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Use node v4.5+ or v6.x, node <= v4.4 has a [known bug](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/8053) in the `Buffer` implementation.
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
It's very simple and easy to use, but also very complete and easy to extend and customize.
|
|
|
|
### Overly Simplified Example
|
|
|
|
Against my better judgement I'm providing a terribly oversimplified example
|
|
of how to use this library:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var le = require('letsencrypt').create({ server: 'staging' });
|
|
|
|
var opts = {
|
|
domains: ['example.com'], email: 'user@email.com', agreeTos: true
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
le.register(opts).then(function (certs) {
|
|
console.log(certs);
|
|
// privkey, cert, chain, expiresAt, issuedAt, subject, altnames
|
|
}, function (err) {
|
|
console.error(err);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You also need some sort of server to handle the acme challenge:
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
var app = express();
|
|
app.use('/', le.middleware());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: The `webrootPath` string is a template.
|
|
Any occurance of `:hostname` will be replaced
|
|
with the domain for which we are requested certificates.
|
|
|
|
### Useful Example
|
|
|
|
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 LE = require('letsencrypt');
|
|
var le;
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Storage Backend
|
|
var leStore = require('le-store-certbot').create({
|
|
configDir: '~/letsencrypt/etc' // or /etc/letsencrypt or wherever
|
|
, debug: false
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
// ACME Challenge Handlers
|
|
var leChallenge = require('le-challenge-fs').create({
|
|
webrootPath: '~/letsencrypt/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);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
le = LE.create({
|
|
server: LE.stagingServerUrl // or LE.productionServerUrl
|
|
, store: leStore // handles saving of config, accounts, and certificates
|
|
, challenges: { 'http-01': leChallenge } // 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
|
|
, debug: false
|
|
//, log: function (debug) {console.log.apply(console, args);} // handles debug outputs
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
|
// If using express you should use the middleware
|
|
// app.use('/', le.middleware());
|
|
//
|
|
// Otherwise you should see the test file for usage of this:
|
|
// le.challenges['http-01'].get(opts.domain, key, val, done)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Check in-memory cache of certificates for the named domain
|
|
le.check({ domains: [ 'example.com' ] }).then(function (results) {
|
|
if (results) {
|
|
// we already have certificates
|
|
return;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Register Certificate manually
|
|
le.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 le.middleware() with express,
|
|
// manually use le.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-letsencrypt/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.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
le.register(opts)
|
|
le.check(opts)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Helper Functions
|
|
|
|
We do expose a few helper functions:
|
|
|
|
* LE.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-letsencrypt.
|
|
|
|
Since the public API for your module is defined by node-letsencrypt the major version
|
|
should be kept in sync.
|
|
|
|
### store implementation
|
|
|
|
See <https://github.com/Daplie/le-store-SPEC>
|
|
|
|
* getOptions()
|
|
* accounts.
|
|
* checkKeypair(opts, cb)
|
|
* check(opts, cb)
|
|
* setKeypair(opts, keypair, cb)
|
|
* set(opts, reg, cb)
|
|
* certificates.
|
|
* checkKeypair(opts, cb)
|
|
* check(opts, cb)
|
|
* setKeypair(opts, keypair, cb)
|
|
* set(opts, reg, cb)
|
|
|
|
### challenge implementation
|
|
|
|
See https://github.com/Daplie/le-challenge-fs
|
|
|
|
* `.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
|
