noobient.acme

Synopsys

This role obtains HTTPS certificates using the ACME protocol from Let's Encrypt, the acme.sh utility, and the DNS-01 challenge.

Parameters

Name	Required	Example	Description
acme_batch	no	<list>	Supply the below parameters as a list, see examples.
domain	yes	foobar.com	Domain to obtain certificates for.
provider	yes	cf	DNS provider to use. See How to use DNS API for details. E.g. if the command is --dns dns_cf, then this argument should be cf.
credential	yes	See in Examples	Dictionary holding all your export ... variables, as explained on the above link.
wildcard	no	true	If true, obtains not only the base certificate, but the wildcard certificate too, via SAN. E.g. if the domain is foobar.com, the certificate will be valid for *.foobar.com as well. Defaults to false.
cronjob	no	true	If true, deploy cronjob to automatically renew the certificate every month. Defaults to false.
staging	no	true	If true, uses staging servers instead of production. Use for testing. Defaults to false.
sleep	no	60	Wait this many seconds for DNS updates to propagate. Defaults to 20.
min_days	no	45	If the certificate already exists, and expires sooner than this many days, renew it. Defaults to 60. Since Let's Encrypt certs are valid for 90 days, a value of 60 triggers a renewal if the cert is older than 30 days. This also means that you can effectively disable the renewal by setting this to 0. Nevertheless, it's useful to leave it on, since it tests whether consecutive renewals in the future will work or not.
reload_cmd	no	/sbin/nginx -s reload	If specified and cronjob is true, this command is also added to the cronjob, and runs 1 hour after the renewal. Otherwise no reload command is run.
