ACME cookbook

Build Status
Cookbook Version

Automatically get/renew free and trusted certificates from Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org).
ACME is the Automated Certificate Management Environment protocol used by Let's Encrypt.

Starting with v4.0.0 of the acme cookbook the acme_ssl_certificate provider has been removed! The TLS-SNI-01 validation method used by this provider been disabled by Let's Encrypt due to security concerns. Please switch to the acme_certificate provider in this cookbook to request and renew your certificate using the supported HTTP-01 validation method.

Attributes

Attribute Description Default
contact Contact information, default empty. Set to mailto:your@email.com []
endpoint ACME server endpoint, Set to https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org if you want to use the Let's Encrypt staging environment and corresponding certificates. https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org
renew Days before the certificate expires at which the certificate will be renewed 30
source_ips IP addresses used by Let's Encrypt to verify the TLS certificates, it will change over time. This attribute is for firewall purposes. Allow these IPs for HTTP (tcp/80). ['66.133.109.36']
private_key Private key content of registered account. Private keys identify the ACME client with the endpoint and are not transferable between staging and production endpoints. nil
key_size Default private key size used when resource property is not. Must be one out of: 2048, 3072, 4096. 2048

Recipes

default

Installs the required acme-client rubygem.

Usage

Use the acme_certificate resource to request a certificate with the http-01 challange. The webserver for the domain for which you are requesting a certificate must be running on the local server. This resource only supports the http validation method. To use the tls-sni-01 challange, please see the resource below. Provide the path to your wwwroot for the specified domain.

acme_certificate 'test.example.com' do
  crt               '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.crt'
  chain             '/etc/ssl/test.example.com-chain.crt'
  key               '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.key'
  wwwroot           '/var/www'
end

In case your webserver needs an already existing certificate when installing a new server you will have a bootstrap problem. Webserver cannot start without certificate, but the certificate cannot be requested without the running webserver. To overcome this a self-signed certificate can be generated with the acme_selfsigned resource.

acme_selfsigned 'test.example.com' do
  crt     '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.crt'
  chain   '/etc/ssl/test.example.com-chain.crt'
  key     '/etc/ssl/test.example.com.key'
end

A working example can be found in the included acme_client test cookbook.

Example

To generate a certificate for an apache2 website you can use code like this:

# Include the recipe to install the gems
include_recipe 'acme'

# Set up contact information. Note the mailto: notation
node.override['acme']['contact'] = ['mailto:me@example.com']
# Real certificates please...
node.override['acme']['endpoint'] = 'https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org'

site = "example.com"
sans = ["www.#{site}"]

# Generate a self-signed if we don't have a cert to prevent bootstrap problems
acme_selfsigned "#{site}" do
  crt     "/etc/httpd/ssl/#{site}.crt"
  key     "/etc/httpd/ssl/#{site}.key"
  chain    "/etc/httpd/ssl/#{site}.pem"
  owner   "apache"
  group   "apache"
  notifies :restart, "service[apache2]", :immediate
end

# Set up your webserver here...

# Get and auto-renew the certificate from Let's Encrypt
acme_certificate "#{site}" do
  crt               "/etc/httpd/ssl/#{site}.crt"
  key               "/etc/httpd/ssl/#{site}.key"
  chain             "/etc/httpd/ssl/#{site}.pem"
  wwwroot           "/var/www/#{site}/htdocs/"
  notifies :restart, "service[apache2]"
  alt_names sans
end

Testing

The kitchen includes a boulder server to run the integration tests with, so testing can run locally without interaction with the online API's.
