Cert automater

This project is designed to automate creating a local CA, server certificate, and user certificate for testing. This NOT for production.

Usage:

1. Modify the docker-compose.yaml file with your own values:

   Environment Variable	Description	Example
   CERT_PASSWORD	The password for the CA and all certificates. It is the same for all for simplicity's sake.	password
   DOMAIN	The domain to be applied to your server wildcard certificate. Generally needs to match your local domain.	example.com
   USERNAME	Username for the user certificate. Will be applied to the CN	john.doe
   USER_EMAIL	Email to be applied to the user certificate.	john.doe@example.com

2. Create a local directory to store the generated certificates outside of the ephemeral Docker container and update the docker-compose.yaml to map it into the container at /certs. For instance, run:

   mkdir ~/test-certs
   

   And update your docker-compose.yaml with:

   volumes:
     - ~/test-certs:/certs
   

3. Run docker-compose up to generate certificates.

4. Check your host machine's directory you created in step 2. You should now have 3 directory, each container the respective generated certificates: ca/ , user/, server/
