certbot-oci-certs 0.2.0

OCI Certs Management Service plugin for Certbot

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Installer plugin for Certbot.

This plugin automates the process of installing a certificate acquired by certbot into OCI Certificates Management Service.

For more information on the OCI Certificates service please see the official documentation at https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/certificates/home.htm

Configuration:

Install and configure the OCI CLI. See https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm for details.

To use this installer you will need:

• an OCI account with adequate permission to Create / Update / Delete certificates stored in the Certificates Management Service

Installation

This package is now published on PyPi, which makes installation super easy. From your command line:

pip install certbot-oci-certs

Development

If you want to work on the code you should create a virtual environment and install it there:

git clone [e-mail]:therealcmj/certbot-oci-certs.git
cd certbot-oci-certs
virtualenv dev
. ./dev/bin/activate
pip install -e .

You can then use your IDE as normal on the live code.

To use the debugger be sure to choose the correct virtual environment. For PyCharm go to Debug, Edit Configurations and then update the Interpreter to point to the newly created Virtual Environment.

Arguments

As of this writing this plug-in supports the following arguments on certbot’s command line:

--oci-certificate-id OCI_CERTIFICATE_ID
                      Certificate OCID (default: None)
--oci-certificate-name OCI_CERTIFICATE_NAME
                      Certificate Name (default: None)
--oci-compartment-id OCI_COMPARTMENT_ID
                      Compartment OCID (default: None)
--oci-auth-mode {configfile,instance,cloudshell}
                      Authentication mode - one of "configfile", "instance", "cloudshell" (default: configfile)
--oci-configfile OCI_CONFIGFILE
                      OCI CLI Configuration file (for authmode=configfile). (default: None)
--oci-profile OCI_PROFILE
                      OCI configuration profile (in OCI configuration file) (default: DEFAULT)

You can always get a list of the available arguments by running

certbot installer -h oci

Examples

Assuming you have previously acquired a certificate for demosite.ociateam.com (perhaps using the certbot-dns-oci plug-in) you can install it via:

certbot install \
 --logs-dir logs --work-dir work --config-dir config \
 --installer oci \
 --oci-compartment $MYOCICOMPARTMENT \
 --cert-path demosite.ociateam.com/cert.pem \
 --key-path demosite.ociateam.com/privkey.pem \
 --chain-path demosite.ociateam.com/chain.pem \
 -d demosite.ociateam.com

If you want to acquire a certificate AND install it in one go using both of my plug-ins you can do that too…

CERTNAME=demo$$.ociateam.com ; \
certbot run \
 --test-cert \
 --logs-dir logs --work-dir work --config-dir config \
 --authenticator dns-oci \
 --installer oci \
 --oci-compartment $MYOCICOMPARTMENT \
 --oci-certificate-name $CERTNAME \
 --debug \
 -d $CERTNAME

And to renew (just that one certificate) later it’s just:

CERTNAME=demo$$.ociateam.com ; \
certbot renew \
 --test-cert \
 --logs-dir logs --work-dir work --config-dir config \
 --debug \
 --cert-name $CERTNAME

CAUTION:

Please do remember tat “certbot renew” tries to renew all certs nearing expiration. If you use the –oci-certificate-name command line argument when running “certbot renew” you’re going to make a mess of things. So be cautious and renew certs one by one OR remember to leave that command line argument off!
