Cloudflare Bash hook for dehydrated.
Docker version
For Docker version usage, see wiki
Why Cloudflare? What is this script?
If you cannot solve the HTTP-01
challenge, you need to solve the DNS-01 challenge. Details here.
With use of Cloudflare API (valid also on free plan!), this script will verify your domain putting a new record with a special token inside DNS zone. At the end of Let's Encrypt validation, that record will be deleted.
Depends on jq
: sudo apt get install -y jq
You only need:
- Register on Cloudflare (it works also on free plan)
- Change your domain DNS to manage them in Cloudflare (follow their guide).
- Run
dehydrated
with this hook (or run Docker image, see below)
You will find the certificates in the folder of dehydrated
.
Classic mode: Prerequisites
cfhookbash
has some prerequisites:
- cURL
- jq
- Active account on Cloudflare (tested with free account)
- Dehydrated (follow the instructions on Github)
Classic mode: Setup
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/sineverba/cfhookbash.git
Classic mode: Configuration
- Create a file
domains.txt
in the folder ofdehydrated
- Put inside a list of domains that need certificates. Multiple (sub)domains on a single line will end up on a single certificate.
example.com www.example.com
home.example.net *.home.example.net
[...]
- Move to the folder of
cfhookbash
- Copy
config.default.sh
toconfig.sh
- Edit
config.sh
. To get values:
Value | Where to find | Deprecated? |
---|---|---|
Zone ID | Main page domain > Right Column > API section | N |
API Token | Account > My Profile > API Tokens > Create Token > API token templates > "Edit zone DNS" | N |
Global API Key | Account > My Profile > API Tokens > Api Keys > Global API Key | Y, from 4.1.0 |
You can choose between using an API token and using your global API key. It is preferred to create a token, since tokens can be restricted to just the permission to edit DNS records in chosen zones (the DNS:Edit
permission).
If you choose to use an API token, it must be filled into api_token
. If you want to use your global API key, instead use global_api_key
and email
.
Global API key
is deprecated and will be removed in future version.
Classic mode: Usage
Make a first run with CA="https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"
placed in a config
file in root directory of dehydrated
.
./dehydrated -c -t dns-01 -k '${PATH_WHERE_YOU_CLONED_CFHOOKBASH}/cfhookbash/hook.sh'
You will find the certificates inside ~/dehydrated/certs/[your.domain.name]
.
If you are using dehydrated with a config file and, you can speed up the requests for certificates with multiple (sub)domains by using HOOK_CHAIN="yes"
.
Classic mode: Post deploy
You can find in hook.sh
a recall to another file (deploy.sh
).
Here you can write different operation to execute AFTER every successfull challenge.
There is a stub file deploy.config.sh
.
Usage:
cp deploy.config.sh deploy.sh && rm deploy.config.sh && nano deploy.sh
Classic mode: Cronjob
Remember that some action require sudo privilege (start and stop webserver, e.g.).
Best is run as root and running in cronjob specify full paths.
Following script will run every monday at 4AM and will create a log in home folder.
$ sudo crontab -e
0 4 * * 1 cd /home/YOUR_USER/dehydrated && /home/YOUR_USER/dehydrated/dehydrated -c -t dns-01 -k '/home/YOUR_USER/cfhookbash/hook.sh' >> /home/YOUR_USER/"cfhookbash-$(date +'%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S').log"
Update / upgrade
- Move to folder where you downloaded it
- Type
git checkout master && git pull
