CertLord
TLS certificate lifecycle automation.
Version: 1.1.0. See the release notes.
CertLord automates TLS certificate issuance, renewal and deployment. It supports ACME through Certbot and importing existing PEM certificates, stores certificates in Vault and deploys them through Auton. Optional destination TLS verification checks the certificate actually served before acknowledgement. StatusCake/Updown adapters are optional; expiry observations are exposed for an external supervision system. It uses DWho, HTTPdis and Sonicprobe.
Redis stores temporary ACME HTTP-01 challenge responses and tracks pending work, retries and deployment leases. Vault stores certificate material. Use the Docker Compose installation to run the services together, or provision them separately for the Debian installation.
Docker installation
Use the Compose guide for initialization, persistent
Vault storage, API access and deployment configuration. The application image is
decryptus/certlord:1.1.0.
Command line and terminal interface
Use ordinary commands in scripts, or explicitly open the read-only terminal browser
with certlord tui. View the illustrated guide.
Real client capture with synthetic demonstration data; this is not deployment evidence.
Names and installation
- Python distribution and package:
certlord - Command and system service:
certlord - Default configuration:
/etc/certlord/certlord.yml - Service user and group:
certlord
Requires Python 3.11+ on POSIX; CI validates Python 3.11 and 3.12.
Newer interpreters are not yet validated. Install the Python package with python -m pip install ..
System configuration and external services must also be provisioned. The
Debian 12 package includes an isolated Python environment and the service account;
follow the installation guide before enabling the service.
Repository: https://github.com/decryptus/certlord.
Validate configuration, recovery and credentials in an isolated environment before deploying your service.
See MIGRATION.md before updating an existing installation.

Guide: Certificate observations and supervision.
Post-deployment TLS verification checks configured destinations before acknowledgement.
Named deployment destinations track each server's certificate fingerprint and result, retain partial success through restart, and support explicit retries of one failed destination.
Operations and recovery: health, queues, retries and first-version limits.
See configuration validation for YAML schema coverage and compatibility.
