Certbot Webroot Setup

NOTE: Right now this program is untested and incomplete, very much in the Exploration phase.

Source: https://github.com/mbland/certbot-webroot-setup

This program encapsulates the steps needed to set up Certbot to use the Webroot plugin to install and renew Let's Encrypt SSL certificates.

It is written using the go-script-bash framework.

Introduction

To get a copy of the repo and view the online help:

$ git clone https://github.com/mbland/certbot-webroot-setup
$ cd certbot-webroot-setup
$ ./certbot-webroot-setup -h

It's recommended you alias the certbot-webroot-setup script using certbot-webroot-setup env to create the cws alias per the following:

$ eval "$(./certbot-webroot-setup env cws)"

To try to install certbot, generate a private key and Certificate Signing Request, and fetch a Let's Encrypt certificate all at once:

$ cws setup-all my-site.com me@mysite.com

If instead you want to take things step-by-step, you can run individual commands such as the following:

$ cws certbot-setup
$ cws ssl-generate private-key my-site.com.key
$ cws site-setup my-site.com my-site.com.key me@my-site.com
$ cws get-cert my-site.com

In either case, use cws webserver-config to generate a configuration block for your web server. Note that right now, only Nginx is supported.
