Introduction #

CertWarden #

CertWarden is a self-hosted Centralized ACME Certificate Management platform. With it you can manage and aquire Let’s Encrypt certificates.

However, to deploy them to your hosts, for now there only was a docker client, and that was too bloated for me.

So I built certwarden-deploy, a dependency-less binary that can run via crontab/systemd timers and that can fetch new certificates and run actions after new certificates got rolled out.

Quick Start #

Installation of the required CertWarden instance is out of scope of this documentation. For detailed instructions regarding CertWarden, please visit it’s documentation

To quickly get started with certwarden-deploy, just download the binary and run it.

# this downloads certwarden-deploy version 0.1.1 
# to /usr/local/bin/certwarden-deploy
sudo wget https://code.lila.network/adoralaura/certwarden-deploy/releases/download/0.1.1/certwarden-deploy-0.1.1-linux-amd64 -O /usr/local/bin/certwarden-deploy

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/certwarden-deploy
