# Greenlock v3 on its way (Nov 1st, 2019)
# New Documentation & [v2/v3 Migration Guide](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock.js/src/branch/v3/MIGRATION_GUIDE_V2_V3.md)
Greenlock v3 is in private beta (for backers) and will be available publicly by Nov 1st.
Greenlock v3 just came out of private beta **today** (Nov 1st, 2019).
You can keep an eye for updates on the [campaign page](https://indiegogo.com/at/greenlock) and,
if this has been a useful project that's saved you time, [please contribute](https://paypal.me/rootprojects/99).
The code is complete and we're working on great documentation.
![Greenlock Logo](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock.js/raw/branch/master/logo/greenlock-1063x250.png "Greenlock Logo")
Many **examples** and **full API** documentation are still coming.

### Working Example Code
Here's a completely working example that will get you started.
glx.serveApp(function(req, res) {
res.end("Hello, Encrypted World!");
});
}
```
git clone https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js.git
pushd greenlock-express.js
npm install
popd
# edit 'email' and 'approveDomains' in
# greenlock-express.js/examples/simple.js
Manage via API or the config file:
node greenlock-express.js/examples/simple.js
```
`~/.config/greenlock/manage.json`: (default filesystem config)
All you have to do is start the webserver and then visit it at its domain name.
`server.js`:
```javascript
"use strict";
require("greenlock-express")
.create({
email: "john.doe@example.com", // The email address of the ACME user / hosting provider
agreeTos: true, // You must accept the ToS as the host which handles the certs
configDir: "~/.config/acme/", // Writable directory where certs will be saved
communityMember: true, // Join the community to get notified of important updates
telemetry: true, // Contribute telemetry data to the project
// Using your express app:
// simply export it as-is, then include it here
app: require("./app.js")
//, debug: true
})
.listen(80, 443);
```json
{
"subscriberEmail": "letsencrypt-test@therootcompany.com",
"agreeToTerms": true,
"sites": {
"example.com": {
"subject": "example.com",
"altnames": ["example.com", "www.example.com"]
}
}
}
```
`app.js`:

# Easy to Customize
As expected, by default we keep your email private and only use it for
transactional messaging, urgent security or API updates
(such as the mandatory upgrade to Let's Encrypt v2), and ACME account registration.
<!-- greenlock-manager-test => greenlock-manager-custom -->
However, when you set the `communityMember` option to `true` we'll also
inform you when there are meaningful and relavant feature updates (no bugfix noise),
and give you early access to similar projects.

### What if the example didn't work?
# QuickStart Guide
Double check the following:
Easy as 1, 2, 3... 4
- **Public Facing IP** for `http-01` challenges
- Are you running this _as_ a public-facing webserver (good)? or localhost (bad)?
- Does `ifconfig` show a public address (good)? or a private one - 10.x, 192.168.x, etc (bad)?
- If you're on a non-public server, are you using the `dns-01` challenge?
- **correct ACME version**
- Let's Encrypt **v2** (ACME v2) must use `version: 'draft-11'`
- Let's Encrypt v1 must use `version: 'v01'`
- **valid email**
- You MUST set `email` to a **valid address**
- MX records must validate (`dig MX example.com` for `'john@example.com'`)
- **valid DNS records**
- Must have public DNS records (test with `dig +trace A example.com; dig +trace www.example.com` for `[ 'example.com', 'www.example.com' ]`)
- **write access**
- You MUST set `configDir` to a writeable location (test with `touch ~/acme/etc/tmp.tmp`)
- **port binding privileges**
- You MUST be able to bind to ports 80 and 443
- You can do this via `sudo` or [`setcap`](https://gist.github.com/firstdoit/6389682)
- **API limits**
- You MUST NOT exceed the API [**usage limits**](https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/) per domain, certificate, IP address, etc
- **Red Lock, Untrusted**
- You MUST use the **production** server url, not staging
- The API URL should not have 'acme-staging-v02', but should have 'acme-v02'
- Delete the `configDir` used for getting certificates in staging
## 1. Create a node project
### Production vs Staging
Create an empty node project.
If at first you don't succeed, stop and switch to staging.
Be sure to fill out the package name, version, and an author email.
There are a number of common problems related to system configuration -
firewalls, ports, permissions, etc - that you are likely to run up against
when using greenlock for your first time.
I've put a "dry run" in place with built-in diagnostics, so hopefully
you get everything right on your first or second try.
However, in order to avoid being blocked by hitting the bad request rate limits
you should switch to using the `staging` server for any testing or debugging.
```bash
mkdir ~/my-project
pushd ~/my-project
npm init
```
https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
```
## Working Examples
## 2. Create an http app (i.e. express)
| Example | Location + Description |
| :-------------------: | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| **QuickStart** | [examples/quickstart.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/quickstart.js) uses the fewest options and accepts all default settings. It's guaranteed to work for you. |
| Production | [examples/production.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/production.js) shows how to require an express app (or other middleware system), expand the `approveDomains` callback, provides an example database shim, and exposes the server instance. |
| Virtual&nbsp;Hosting | [examples/vhost.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/vhost.js) shows how to dynamically secure and serve domains based on their existance on the file system. |
| Wildcard&nbsp;Domains | [examples/wildcard.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/wildcard.js) shows how to use the `acme-dns-01-cli` and wildcard cetificates. |
| HTTPS&nbsp;(raw) | [examples/spdy.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/spdy.js) demonstrates how to manually configure a node web server using the node's built-in `http` and `https` modules. |
| HTTP2&nbsp;(spdy) | Presently spdy is incompatible with node v11, but [examples/spdy.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/spdy.js) demonstrates how to manually configure a node web server with spdy-compatible versions of node and Greenlock. |
| HTTP2&nbsp;(node) | [examples/http2.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/http2.js) uses node's new HTTP2 module, which is NOT compatible with the existing middleware systems (and is not "stable" as of v10.0). |
| WebSockets&nbsp;(ws) | [examples/websockets.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/websockets.js) demonstrates how to use Greenlock express with a websocket server. |
| socket.io | [examples/socket.io.js](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/socket.io.js) demonstrates how to use Greenlock express with socket.io (even though `ws` is far simpler, faster, and better and every way). |

// uses name and version as part of the ACME client user-agent
// uses author as the contact for support notices
package: require("./package.json")
};
}
# Usage
function worker(server) {
// Works with any Node app (Express, etc)
var app = require("my-express-app.js");
server.serveApp(app);
}
```
The oversimplified example was the bait
(because everyone seems to want an example that fits in 3 lines, even if it's terribly bad practices),
now here's the switch.
And start your server:
We have another completely working example that will provides a little more to build off of.
```bash
# Allow non-root node to use ports 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS)
sudo setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' $(which node)
```
```bash
# `npm start` will call `node ./server.js` by default
npm start
```
git clone https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-express.js.git
pushd greenlock-express.js
npm install
popd
# replace 'fooCheckDb' in
# greenlock-express.js/examples/normal.js
```txt
Greenlock v3.0.0
Greenlock Manager Config File: ~/.config/greenlock/manager.json
Greenlock Storage Directory: ~/.config/greenlock/
node greenlock-express.js/examples/normal.js
Listening on 0.0.0.0:80 for ACME challenges and HTTPS redirects
Listening on 0.0.0.0:443 for secure traffic
```
It looks a little more like this:
## 4. Manage domains
`serve.js`:
The management API is built to work with Databases, S3, etc.
```javascript
"use strict";
HOWEVER, by default it starts with a simple config file.
// returns an instance of greenlock.js with additional helper methods
var glx = require("greenlock-express").create({
server: "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory",
// Note: If at first you don't succeed, stop and switch to staging:
// https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
version: "draft-11", // Let's Encrypt v2 (ACME v2)
<!--
This will update the config file (assuming the default fs-based management plugin):
-->
// If you wish to replace the default account and domain key storage plugin
store: require("le-store-certbot").create({
configDir: require("path").join(require("os").homedir(), "acme", "etc"),
webrootPath: "/tmp/acme-challenges"
}),
`~/.config/greenlock/manager.json`:
// Contribute telemetry data to the project
telemetry: true,
```json
{
"subscriberEmail": "letsencrypt-test@therootcompany.com",
"agreeToTerms": true,
"sites": {
"example.com": {
"subject": "example.com",
"altnames": ["example.com", "www.example.com"]
}
}
}
```
// the default servername to use when the client doesn't specify
// (because some IoT devices don't support servername indication)
servername: "example.com",
COMING SOON
approveDomains: approveDomains
});
Management can be done via the **CLI** or the JavaScript [**API**](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock.js/).
Since this is the QuickStart, we'll demo the **CLI**:
var server = glx.listen(80, 443, function() {
console.log("Listening on port 80 for ACME challenges and 443 for express app.");
});
```
You need to create a Let's Encrypt _subscriber account_, which can be done globally, or per-site.
All individuals, and most businesses, should set this globally:
Note: You shouldn't be using the plain HTTP server for anything except, potentially, for error handling
on the listen event (if the default print-and-quit behavior doesn't work for your use case).
If you need to do that, here's how:
```bash
# COMING SOON
# (this command should be here by Nov 5th)
# (edit the config by hand for now)
#
# Set a global subscriber account
npx greenlock config --subscriber-email 'mycompany@example.com' --agree-to-terms true
```
var plainServer = server.unencrypted;
plainServer.on('error', function (err) { ... });
```
The Automatic Certificate Issuance is initiated via SNI (`httpsOptions.SNICallback`).
For security, domain validation MUST have an approval callback in _production_.
<!-- todo print where the key was saved -->
```javascript
var http01 = require("le-challenge-fs").create({ webrootPath: "/tmp/acme-challenges" });
function approveDomains(opts, certs, cb) {
// This is where you check your database and associated
// email addresses with domains and agreements and such
// if (!isAllowed(opts.domains)) { return cb(new Error("not allowed")); }
A Let's Encrypt SSL certificate has a "Subject" (Primary Domain) and up to 100 "Alternative Names"
(of which the first _must_ be the subject).
// The domains being approved for the first time are listed in opts.domains
// Certs being renewed are listed in certs.altnames (if that's useful)
// Opt-in to submit stats and get important updates
opts.communityMember = true;
// If you wish to replace the default challenge plugin, you may do so here
opts.challenges = { "http-01": http01 };
opts.email = "john.doe@example.com";
opts.agreeTos = true;
// NOTE: you can also change other options such as `challengeType` and `challenge`
// opts.challengeType = 'http-01';
// opts.challenge = require('le-challenge-fs').create({});
cb(null, { options: opts, certs: certs });
}
```bash
# COMING SOON
# (this command should be here by Nov 5th)
# (edit the config by hand for now)
#
# Add a certificate with specific domains
npx greenlock add --subject example.com --altnames example.com,www.example.com
```
```javascript
// handles acme-challenge and redirects to https
require("http")
.createServer(glx.middleware(require("redirect-https")()))
.listen(80, function() {
console.log("Listening for ACME http-01 challenges on", this.address());
});
<!-- todo print where the cert was saved -->
var app = require("express")();
app.use("/", function(req, res) {
res.end("Hello, World!");
});
Note: **Localhost**, **Wildcard**, and Certificates for Private Networks require
[**DNS validation**](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock-exp).
// handles your app
require("https")
.createServer(glx.httpsOptions, app)
.listen(443, function() {
console.log("Listening for ACME tls-sni-01 challenges and serve app on", this.address());
});

# Full Documentation
Greenlock will do a self-check on all domain registrations
to prevent you from hitting rate limits.
<!--
- Greenlock CLI
- Greenlock JavaScript API
-->
# API
Most of the documentation is done by use-case examples, as shown up at the top of the README.
This module is an elaborate ruse (to provide an oversimplified example and to nab some SEO).
We're working on more comprehensive documentation for this newly released version.
**Please open an issue** with questions in the meantime.
The API is actually located at [greenlock.js options](https://git.rootprojects.org/root/greenlock.js)
(because all options are simply passed through to `greenlock.js` proper without modification).
# Commercial Support
The only "API" consists of two options, the rest is just a wrapper around `greenlock.js` to take LOC from 15 to 5:
Do you need...
- `opts.app` An express app in the format `function (req, res) { ... }` (no `next`).
- `server = glx.listen(plainAddr, tlsAddr, onListen)` Accepts port numbers (or arrays of port numbers) to listen on, returns secure server.
- `listen(80, 443)`
- `listen(80, 443, onListenSecure)`
- `listen(80, 443, onListenPlain, onListenSecure)`
- `listen('localhost:80', '0.0.0.0:443')`
- `listen('[::1]:80', '[::]:443')`
- `listen('/tmp/glx.plain.sock', '/tmp/glx.secure.sock')`
- training?
- specific features?
- different integrations?
- bugfixes, on _your_ timeline?
- custom code, built by experts?
- commercial support and licensing?
Brief overview of some simple options for `greenlock.js`:
You're welcome to [contact us](mailto:aj@therootcompany.com) in regards to IoT, On-Prem,
Enterprise, and Internal installations, integrations, and deployments.
- `opts.server` set to https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory in production
- `opts.version` set to `v01` for Let's Encrypt v1 or `draft-11` for Let's Encrypt v2 (mistakenly called ACME v2)
- `opts.email` The default email to use to accept agreements.
- `opts.agreeTos` When set to `true`, this always accepts the LetsEncrypt TOS. When a string it checks the agreement url first.
- `opts.communityMember` Join the community to get notified of important updates and help make greenlock better
- `opts.approveDomains` can be either of:
- An explicit array of allowed domains such as `[ 'example.com', 'www.example.com' ]`
- A callback `function (opts, certs, cb) { cb(null, { options: opts, certs: certs }); }` for setting `email`, `agreeTos`, `domains`, etc (as shown in usage example above)
- `opts.renewWithin` is the **maximum** number of days (in ms) before expiration to renew a certificate.
- `opts.renewBy` is the **minimum** number of days (in ms) before expiration to renew a certificate.
We have both commercial support and commercial licensing available.
## Supported ACME versions
We also offer consulting for all-things-ACME and Let's Encrypt.
- Let's Encrypt v1 (aka v01)
- Let's Encrypt v2 (aka v02 or ACME draft 11)
- ACME draft 11 (ACME v2 is a misnomer)
- Wildcard domains (via dns-01 challenges)
- `*.example.com`
