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 […]

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

I have already described how I use acme.sh to obtain SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt. Today, I’m going to show you how I use anvil to copy those certificates from the original location to another directory, which is then used for rsync by another jail. Throughout this blog post, it is assumed that the cert-shifter

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
