jasperla/docker-letsencrypt-verify repository overview

⁠docker-letsencrypt-verify

Tiny container to run the Lets Encrypt verification step on a host where you may not have other means of serving the file.

⁠Usage

docker run --rm --name letsencrypt-verify -p 80:80 \
-e FILE=__FILE__ -e KEY=__KEY__ jasperla/letsencrypt-verify

Replace KEY and FILE with the value displayed here by the letsencrypt client:

http://test.example/.well-known/acme-challenge/__FILE__
before continuing:

__KEY__

⁠Rationale

For certain hosts it may not be desirable to run a webserver to serve the file required for the LE verification step. For example when you run the LE client with manual on a different host and use the SSL cert for a service other than a webserver. For such cases it could be handy to fire up a container, serve the verification code and shut it down when finished. This image was optimized for size, coming in at less than 6 MB.
