Now that I have configured my webserver to pull down any new certificates, now it’s time to configure my clients to pull certificates from the webserver. In my quest for a centralized Let’s Encrypt solution, I’ve created the FreeBSD port for acme.sh (an ACME client for Let’s Encrypt) and anvil, a tool for distributing and installing those certificates. In previous blog posts, I’ve described various steps leading up to this: Creating a TXT […]

In my Let’s Encrypt implementation, I am using a centralized acme.sh solution which generates all the certificates I use and authenticates via dns-01 challenges. I use anvil to distribute those certificates. In this post, I will describe how the website pulls the certificates down from the rsync-jail. I will assume you have read my previous post where I describe the cert-shifter process. Configuring the jail host This solution assumes that the acme.sh jail

I’m in the end-stages of finishing off my centralized Let’s Encrypt solution and I’ve released my code as an open source project named anvil. I’ve also created a FreeBSD port. In this post, I outline the anvil tools and how I use them. In future posts, I will detail the individual components, some of which have already appeared in my blog. Why centralized After reading about the FreeBSD cluster’s use of Let’s Encrypt,
