Helper script for acme.sh
Helper script for acme.sh
acme.sh is a client for generating Let's Encrypt certificates.
Certbot is a great alternative, but I've just stuck to what I know (hence why this exists).
This wiki page will just be backup for a GitHub Gist I've made: https://gist.github.com/Decicus/93d698347cf600af5ea822870eeef54c
GitHub Gist is also mirrored to my personal Gitea instance.
Script by default attempts to install certs into /srv/ssl
using Let's Encrypt.
You can pass --buypass
when executing the script to use BuyPass Go SSL instead.
Script was last updated April 30th, 2021. A newer version might be available via GitHub Gist.
