Installs Certbot (for Let's Encrypt) for RHEL/CentOS or Debian/Ubuntu.
Certbot requires Git to be installed. You can install Git using the geerlingguy.git
role.
certbot_repo: https://github.com/certbot/certbot.git
certbot_version: master
certbot_keep_updated: yes
Certbot code repository options. This role clones the agent from the configured repo, then makes the certbot-auto
script executable.
certbot_dir: /opt/certbot
The directory inside which Certbot will be cloned.
None.
- hosts: servers
roles:
- geerlingguy.letsencrypt
After installation, you can create certificates using the certbot-auto
script, which by default is installed inside the configured certbot_dir
, so by default, /opt/certbot/certbot-auto
. Here are some example commands to configure certificates with Certbot:
# Automatically add certs for all Apache virtualhosts (use with caution!).
/opt/certbot/certbot-auto --apache
# Generate certs, but don't modify Apache configuration (safer).
/opt/certbot/certbot-auto --apache certonly
To set up renewals, you should run the following command periodically (e.g. once or twice per day):
/opt/certbot/certbot-auto renew --quiet --no-self-upgrade
You can test the auto-renewal (without actually renewing the cert) with the command:
/opt/certbot/certbot-auto renew --dry-run
See full documentation and options on the Certbot website.
