Built to help make managing Lets Encrypt certificates easier on Cloudfront. Though the certificates generated can be used anywhere.

• Tests
• Better logging
• Create proper (pip) package

• Certbot
• Python 2.6+
• pip

git clone https://github.com/sethryder/certman.git
cd certman
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp config/certman-sample.conf /etc/certman.conf

By default certman looks for its config file at /etc/certman.conf. A sample config file is included at certman-sample.conf.

Depending on your Certbot install you will need to update the configuration accordingly.

This is the primary config file for certman.

• certbot_arguments: Arguments that are passed to certbot when creating and renewing certificates.
• certbot_binary_path: Path to the cerbot binary (Default: /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto)
• certbot_certificate_path: Path to where Certbot keeps its current certificate symlinks. (Default: /etc/letsencrypt/live)
• domain_config_directory: Path to config files for the managed domains. (Default: /etc/certman.d)
• hash_file_directory: Path where certman saves its config hash files (Default: /etc/certman.d)
• certbot_server: URL to your configured Certbot server for domain verification.
• report_email: Where certman will send its certificate check reports.

For each domain you want to manage you include a config file. With the default configuration it looks for these files in /etc/certman.d. You can find an example in the config directory in this repo.

• primary_domain: The primary domain for the certificate.
• additional_domains: Any additional domains that the certificate will cover.
• distribution_id (optional): The CloudFront distribution for this domain.
