# An ACME Shell script: acme.sh [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Neilpang/acme.sh.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Neilpang/acme.sh)
- An ACME protocol client written purely in Shell (Unix shell) language.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
- Full ACME protocol implementation.
- Simple, powerful and very easy to use. You only need 3 minutes to learn it.
- Bash, dash and sh compatible.
- Simplest shell script for Let's Encrypt free certificate client.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
- Purely written in Shell with no dependencies on python or the official Let's Encrypt client.
- Just one script to issue, renew and install your certificates automatically.
2016-04-21 13:12:48 +00:00
- DOES NOT require `root/sudoer` access.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
It's probably the `easiest&smallest&smartest` shell script to automatically issue & renew the free certificates from Let's Encrypt.

# 1. How to install
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
### 1. Install online
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-04-24 10:50:09 +00:00
Check this project: https://github.com/Neilpang/get.acme.sh
2016-04-14 14:27:51 +00:00
```bash
curl https://get.acme.sh | sh
2016-03-27 12:43:32 +00:00
```
Or:
```bash
wget -O - https://get.acme.sh | sh
2016-03-27 12:43:32 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
### 2. Or, Install from git
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Clone this project and launch installation:
```bash
2016-04-14 13:44:26 +00:00
git clone https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh.git
cd ./acme.sh
2016-04-14 13:44:26 +00:00
./acme.sh --install
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
```
2016-03-27 12:43:32 +00:00
You `don't have to be root` then, although `it is recommended`.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Advanced Installation: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-install
2016-04-21 13:43:28 +00:00
The installer will perform 3 actions:
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
1. Create and copy `acme.sh` to your home dir (`$HOME`): `~/.acme.sh/`.
All certs will be placed in this folder too.
2. Create alias for: `acme.sh=~/.acme.sh/acme.sh`.
3. Create daily cron job to check and renew the certs if needed.
Cron entry example:
```bash
0 0 * * * "/home/user/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/home/user/.acme.sh" > /dev/null
```
2015-12-27 05:52:46 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
After the installation, you must close the current terminal and reopen it to make the alias take effect.
Ok, you are ready to issue certs now.
2015-12-27 05:52:46 +00:00
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
Show help message:
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
```
root@v1:~# acme.sh -h
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
# 2. Just issue a cert
2016-03-07 01:52:54 +00:00
**Example 1:** Single domain.
2016-03-07 01:52:54 +00:00
```bash
acme.sh --issue -d example.com -w /home/wwwroot/example.com
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
```
**Example 2:** Multiple domains in the same cert.
```bash
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --issue -d example.com -d www.example.com -d cp.example.com -w /home/wwwroot/example.com
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
```
2016-03-07 01:52:54 +00:00
The parameter `/home/wwwroot/example.com` is the web root folder. You **MUST** have `write access` to this folder.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Second argument **"example.com"** is the main domain you want to issue the cert for.
You must have at least one domain there.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
You must point and bind all the domains to the same webroot dir: `/home/wwwroot/example.com`.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Generated/issued certs will be placed in `~/.acme.sh/example.com/`
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
The issued cert will be renewed automatically every **60** days.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-04-14 13:44:26 +00:00
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
# 3. Install the issued cert to Apache/Nginx etc.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
After you issue a cert, you probably want to install/copy the cert to your Apache/Nginx or other servers.
You **MUST** use this command to copy the certs to the target files, **DO NOT** use the certs files in **~/.acme.sh/** folder, they are for internal use only, the folder structure may change in the future.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
**Apache** example:
```bash
2017-02-11 13:29:36 +00:00
acme.sh --install-cert -d example.com \
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
--certpath /path/to/certfile/in/apache/cert.pem \
--keypath /path/to/keyfile/in/apache/key.pem \
--fullchainpath /path/to/fullchain/certfile/apache/fullchain.pem \
2016-12-22 12:06:55 +00:00
--reloadcmd "service apache2 force-reload"
2016-11-03 11:19:51 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
**Nginx** example:
2016-11-03 11:19:51 +00:00
```bash
2017-02-11 13:29:36 +00:00
acme.sh --install-cert -d example.com \
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
--keypath /path/to/keyfile/in/nginx/key.pem \
--fullchainpath /path/to/fullchain/nginx/cert.pem \
2016-12-22 12:06:55 +00:00
--reloadcmd "service nginx force-reload"
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
```
Only the domain is required, all the other parameters are optional.
The ownership and permission info of existing files are preserved. You may want to precreate the files to have defined ownership and permission.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Install/copy the issued cert/key to the production Apache or Nginx path.
The cert will be `renewed every **60** days by default` (which is configurable). Once the cert is renewed, the Apache/Nginx service will be restarted automatically by the command: `service apache2 restart` or `service nginx restart`.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
# 4. Use Standalone server to issue cert
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
**(requires you to be root/sudoer or have permission to listen on port 80 (TCP))**
2016-01-05 13:59:27 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Port `80` (TCP) **MUST** be free to listen on, otherwise you will be prompted to free it and try again.
```bash
acme.sh --issue --standalone -d example.com -d www.example.com -d cp.example.com
2016-01-05 13:59:27 +00:00
```
2016-04-14 13:44:26 +00:00
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
# 5. Use Standalone TLS server to issue cert
**(requires you to be root/sudoer or have permission to listen on port 443 (TCP))**
acme.sh supports `tls-sni-01` validation.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Port `443` (TCP) **MUST** be free to listen on, otherwise you will be prompted to free it and try again.
```bash
acme.sh --issue --tls -d example.com -d www.example.com -d cp.example.com
```
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
# 6. Use Apache mode
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
**(requires you to be root/sudoer, since it is required to interact with Apache server)**
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
If you are running a web server, Apache or Nginx, it is recommended to use the `Webroot mode`.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Particularly, if you are running an Apache server, you should use Apache mode instead. This mode doesn't write any files to your web root folder.
2016-01-10 02:59:51 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Just set string "apache" as the second argument and it will force use of apache plugin automatically.
2016-01-10 02:59:51 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --issue --apache -d example.com -d www.example.com -d cp.example.com
2016-01-10 02:59:51 +00:00
```
2016-04-14 13:44:26 +00:00
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
2016-01-10 02:59:51 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
# 7. Use DNS mode:
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
Support the `dns-01` challenge.
```bash
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --issue --dns -d example.com -d www.example.com -d cp.example.com
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
You should get an output like below:
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
```
Add the following txt record:
Domain:_acme-challenge.example.com
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
Txt value:9ihDbjYfTExAYeDs4DBUeuTo18KBzwvTEjUnSwd32-c
Add the following txt record:
Domain:_acme-challenge.www.example.com
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
Txt value:9ihDbjxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please add those txt records to the domains. Waiting for the dns to take effect.
```
Then just rerun with `renew` argument:
```bash
acme.sh --renew -d example.com
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
```
Ok, it's finished.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00

# 8. Automatic DNS API integration
2016-01-21 16:16:43 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
If your DNS provider supports API access, we can use that API to automatically issue the certs.
2015-12-26 13:44:39 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
You don't have to do anything manually!

# 9. Issue ECC certificates
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
`Let's Encrypt` can now issue **ECDSA** certificates.
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
And we support them too!
2016-02-12 09:56:50 +00:00
2016-03-02 14:53:07 +00:00
Just set the `length` parameter with a prefix `ec-`.
2016-02-12 09:56:50 +00:00
For example:
2016-03-10 06:17:47 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
### Single domain ECC cerfiticate
2016-03-10 06:17:47 +00:00
```bash
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/example.com -d example.com --keylength ec-256
2016-02-12 09:56:50 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
### SAN multi domain ECC certificate
```bash
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/example.com -d example.com -d www.example.com --keylength ec-256
2016-03-10 06:17:47 +00:00
```
2016-02-12 09:56:50 +00:00
Please look at the last parameter above.
Valid values are:

# 10. How to renew the issued certs
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
No, you don't need to renew the certs manually. All the certs will be renewed automatically every **60** days.
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
However, you can also force to renew any cert:
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --renew -d example.com --force
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
```
or, for ECC cert:
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --renew -d example.com --force --ecc
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
```

# 11. How to upgrade `acme.sh`
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
2016-12-14 20:32:24 +00:00
acme.sh is in constant development, so it's strongly recommended to use the latest code.
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
You can update acme.sh to the latest code:
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
2016-08-25 14:13:34 +00:00
```
acme.sh --upgrade
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
You can also enable auto upgrade:
2016-09-28 14:11:00 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade
2016-09-28 14:11:00 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
Then **acme.sh** will be kept up to date automatically.
2016-09-28 14:11:00 +00:00
Disable auto upgrade:
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
2016-09-28 14:11:00 +00:00
```
2016-11-15 13:13:58 +00:00
acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade 0
2016-09-28 14:11:00 +00:00
```
