An ACME Shell script: acme.sh
- An ACME protocol client written purely in Shell (Unix shell) language.
- Fully ACME protocol implementation.
- Simple, powerful and very easy to use. You only need 3 minutes to learn.
- Bash, dash and sh compatible.
- Simplest shell script for Let's Encrypt free certificate client.
- Purely written in Shell with no dependencies on python or Let's Encrypt official client.
- Just one script, to issue, renew and install your certificates automatically.
- DOES NOT require
root/sudoer
access.
It's probably the easiest&smallest&smartest
shell script to automatically issue & renew the free certificates from Let's Encrypt.

1. How to install
1. Install online:
Check this project: https://github.com/Neilpang/get.acme.sh
curl https://get.acme.sh | sh
Or:
wget -O - https://get.acme.sh | sh
2. Or, Install from git:
Clone this project:
git clone https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh.git
cd ./acme.sh
./acme.sh --install
You don't have to be root
then, although it is recommended
.
Advanced Installation: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-install
The installer will perform 3 actions:
- Create and copy
acme.sh
to your home dir ($HOME
):~/.acme.sh/
. All certs will be placed in this folder. - Create alias for:
acme.sh=~/.acme.sh/acme.sh
. - Create everyday cron job to check and renew the cert if needed.
Cron entry example:
0 0 * * * "/home/user/.acme.sh"/acme.sh --cron --home "/home/user/.acme.sh" > /dev/null
After the installation, you must close current terminal and reopen again to make the alias take effect.
Ok, you are ready to issue cert now. Show help message:
root@v1:~# acme.sh -h
2. Just issue a cert:
Example 1: Single domain.
acme.sh --issue -d aa.com -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com
Example 2: Multiple domains in the same cert.
acme.sh --issue -d aa.com -d www.aa.com -d cp.aa.com -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com
The parameter /home/wwwroot/aa.com
is the web root folder. You MUST have write access
to this folder.
Second argument "aa.com" is the main domain you want to issue cert for. You must have at least a domain there.
You must point and bind all the domains to the same webroot dir: /home/wwwroot/aa.com
.
Generate/issued certs will be placed in ~/.acme.sh/aa.com/
The issued cert will be renewed every 60 days automatically.
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
3. Install the issued cert to apache/nginx etc.
After you issue a cert, you probably want to install/copy the cert to your nginx/apache or other servers you may be using.
acme.sh --installcert -d aa.com \
--certpath /path/to/certfile/in/apache/nginx \
--keypath /path/to/keyfile/in/apache/nginx \
--capath /path/to/ca/certfile/apache/nginx \
--fullchainpath path/to/fullchain/certfile/apache/nginx \
--reloadcmd "service apache2|nginx reload"
Only the domain is required, all the other parameters are optional.
Install/copy the issued cert/key to the production apache or nginx path.
The cert will be renewed every **60** days by default
(which is configurable). Once the cert is renewed, the apache/nginx will be automatically reloaded by the command: service apache2 reload
or service nginx reload
.
4. Use Standalone server to issue cert
(requires you be root/sudoer, or you have permission to listen tcp 80 port)
The tcp 80
port MUST be free to listen, otherwise you will be prompted to free the 80
port and try again.
acme.sh --issue --standalone -d aa.com -d www.aa.com -d cp.aa.com
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
5. Use Standalone tls server to issue cert
(requires you be root/sudoer, or you have permission to listen tcp 443 port)
acme.sh supports tls-sni-01
validation.
The tcp 443
port MUST be free to listen, otherwise you will be prompted to free the 443
port and try again.
acme.sh --issue --tls -d aa.com -d www.aa.com -d cp.aa.com
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
6. Use Apache mode
(requires you be root/sudoer, since it is required to interact with apache server)
If you are running a web server, apache or nginx, it is recommended to use the Webroot mode
.
Particularly, if you are running an apache server, you should use apache mode instead. This mode doesn't write any files to your web root folder.
Just set string "apache" as the second argument, it will force use of apache plugin automatically.
acme.sh --issue --apache -d aa.com -d www.aa.com -d user.aa.com
More examples: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert
7. Use DNS mode:
Support the dns-01
challenge.
acme.sh --issue --dns -d aa.com -d www.aa.com -d user.aa.com
You should get the output like below:
Add the following txt record:
Domain:_acme-challenge.aa.com
Txt value:9ihDbjYfTExAYeDs4DBUeuTo18KBzwvTEjUnSwd32-c
Add the following txt record:
Domain:_acme-challenge.www.aa.com
Txt value:9ihDbjxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please add those txt records to the domains. Waiting for the dns to take effect.
Then just rerun with renew
argument:
acme.sh --renew -d aa.com
Ok, it's finished.
8. Automatic DNS API integration
If your DNS provider supports API access, we can use API to automatically issue the certs.
You don't have do anything manually!
Currently acme.sh supports:
- Cloudflare.com API
- Dnspod.cn API
- Cloudxns.com API
- Godaddy.com API
- OVH, kimsufi, soyoustart and runabove API
- AWS Route 53, see: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/issues/65
- PowerDNS API
- lexicon dns api: https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-use-lexicon-dns-api (DigitalOcean, DNSimple, DnsMadeEasy, DNSPark, EasyDNS, Namesilo, NS1, PointHQ, Rage4 and Vultr etc.)
More APIs are coming soon...
If your DNS provider is not on the supported list above, you can write your own script API easily. If you do please consider submitting a Pull Request and contribute to the project.
For more details: How to use dns api
9. Issue ECC certificate:
Let's Encrypt
now can issue ECDSA certificates.
And we also support it.
Just set the length
parameter with a prefix ec-
.
For example:
Single domain ECC cerfiticate:
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com -d aa.com --keylength ec-256
SAN multi domain ECC certificate:
acme.sh --issue -w /home/wwwroot/aa.com -d aa.com -d www.aa.com --keylength ec-256
Please look at the last parameter above.
Valid values are:
- ec-256 (prime256v1, "ECDSA P-256")
- ec-384 (secp384r1, "ECDSA P-384")
- ec-521 (secp521r1, "ECDSA P-521", which is not supported by Let's Encrypt yet.)
10. How to renew the cert
No, you don't need to renew the certs manually. All the certs will be renewed automatically every 60 days.
However, you can also force to renew any cert:
acme.sh --renew -d aa.com --force
or, for ECC cert:
acme.sh --renew -d aa.com --force --ecc
11. How to upgrade acme.sh
acme.sh is in developing, it's strongly recommended to use the latest code.
You can update acme.sh to the latest code:
acme.sh --upgrade
You can enable auto upgrade:
acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade
Then acme.sh will keep up to date automatically.
Disable auto upgrade:
acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade 0
12. Issue a cert from an existing CSR
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/wiki/Issue-a-cert-from-existing-CSR
Under the Hood
Speak ACME language using shell, directly to "Let's Encrypt".
