Installation

Using the installer

curl -s -L  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tekuasia/autossl/master/bin/installer.sh | sudo bash

Usage

All commands can be listed using autossl help:

To generate free SSL certificate for a domain

autossl [email protected] example.com

To generate free SSL certificate for wildcard domains

autossl [email protected] example.com *.example.com *.tld.example.com

To automatically renew all certificates

autossl renew

Cloud integration

AWS ACM

We need to prepare an AWS user with these permissions:

• acm:ImportCertificates
• acm:DescribeCertificate
• acm:ListCertificates

To synchronize your certificates to AWS ACM

autossl sync acm

AWS IAM

We need to prepare an AWS user with these permissions:

• iam:UploadServerCertificate

To synchronize your certificates to AWS IAM

autossl sync iam

Please note: Your certificates will be saved into IAM as <domain-names>-YYYY-MM. For example, you synchronize certificate for example.com in June 2019, it will be named as example-com-2019-06

Google Cloud

We need to enable cloud compute engine at https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/compute.googleapis.com

To synchronize your certificates to Google Cloud

autossl sync gcloud

Please note: Your certificates will be saved into Gcloud as <domain-names>-YYYY-MM. For example, you synchronize certificate for example.com in June 2019, it will be named as example-com-2019-06

Automate renewal

Renewal without cloud

We suggest you to setup cronjob for automatically check expiration of certifcates everyday (There could be other approaches)

crontab –e

Then add this line to make renewal automated everyday at 3:00

00 03 * * * autossl renew

Renewal with cloud

We suggest you to setup cronjob for automatically check expiration of certifcates everyday (There could be other approaches)

[Optional] Init AWS for the first time if you are using AWS to manage SSL

autossl init-aws

[Optional] Init Google Cloud for the first time if you are using Google Cloud to manage SSL

autossl init-gcloud

Open crontab editor

crontab –e

Then add this line to make renewal automated and renewed certificates synced to cloud provider automatically everyday at 3:00

00 03 * * * autossl sync <provider> "$(autossl renew -d)"
