# Ansible Role: Certbot (for Let's Encrypt)
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/geerlingguy/ansible-role-certbot)
|
|
|
|
Installs and configures Certbot (for Let's Encrypt).
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
If one wants to install Certbot from upstream Git repository instead of distribution's package management, this role requires Git to be installed. You can install Git using the `geerlingguy.git` role.
|
|
|
|
## Role Variables
|
|
|
|
The variable `certbot_install_from_source` controls whether to install Certbot from Git or package management. The latter is the default, so the variable defaults to `no`.
|
|
|
|
certbot_auto_renew: true
|
|
certbot_auto_renew_user: "{{ ansible_user }}"
|
|
certbot_auto_renew_hour: 3
|
|
certbot_auto_renew_minute: 30
|
|
|
|
By default, this role configures a cron job to run under the provided user account at the given hour and minute, every day. The defaults run `certbot renew` (or `certbot-auto renew`) via cron every day at 03:30:00 by the user you use in your Ansible playbook. It's preferred that you set a custom user/hour/minute so the renewal is during a low-traffic period and done by a non-root user account.
|
|
|
|
### Variables Relavant for Source Installation from Git
|
|
|
|
certbot_install_from_source: yes
|
|
certbot_repo: https://github.com/certbot/certbot.git
|
|
certbot_version: master
|
|
certbot_keep_updated: yes
|
|
|
|
Certbot Git repository options. This clones the configured `certbot_repo`, respecting the `certbot_version` setting. If `certbot_keep_updated` is set to `yes`, the repository is updated every time this role runs.
|
|
|
|
certbot_dir: /opt/certbot
|
|
|
|
The directory inside which Certbot will be cloned.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
None.
|
|
|
|
## Example Playbook
|
|
|
|
- hosts: servers
|
|
|
|
vars:
|
|
certbot_auto_renew_user: your_username_here
|
|
certbot_auto_renew_minute: 20
|
|
certbot_auto_renew_hour: 5
|
|
|
|
roles:
|
|
- geerlingguy.certbot
|
|
|
|
After installation, you can create certificates using the `certbot` (or `certbot-auto`) script, which by default is installed inside the configured `certbot_dir` (when using Git). 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
|
|
|
|
By default, this role adds a cron job that will renew all installed certificates once per day at the hour and minute of your choosing.
|
|
|
|
You can test the auto-renewal (without actually renewing the cert) with the command:
|
|
|
|
/opt/certbot/certbot-auto renew --dry-run
|
|
|
|
