Testing

docker build -t letsencrypt .

# private
docker run \
    --env-file letsencrypt.env \
    letsencrypt \
    dehydrated \
        --cron --accept-terms \
        --domain letsencrypt.willfarrell.ca \
        --hook dehydrated-dns \
        --challenge dns-01 \
        --force

# public
docker run -d \
    --env-file letsencrypt.env \
    letsencrypt \
    dehydrated \
        --cron --accept-terms \
        --domain letsencrypt.willfarrell.ca \
        --challenge http-01 \
        --force

# reload nginx to see changes

Deploy

Note the use of --hook dehydrated-dns, dehydrated-dns⁠ is a script wrapper to call lexicon from dehydrated.

# private
docker run \
    --volumes-from docker_nginx_1 \
    --env-file letsencrypt.env \
    willfarrell/letsencrypt \
    dehydrated \
        --cron --domain letsencrypt.willfarrell.ca \
        --out /etc/ssl \
        --hook dehydrated-dns \
        --challenge dns-01

# public
docker run -d \
    --volumes-from docker_nginx_1 \
    --env-file letsencrypt.env \
    willfarrell/letsencrypt \
    dehydrated \
        --cron --domain letsencrypt.willfarrell.ca \
        --out /etc/ssl \
        --challenge http-01

Also worth reading is Let's Encrypts document on certificate rate limits https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/⁠. In short you can generate 5 duplicate certificates per 7 days.

Route53 Access Policy

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "route53:ListHostedZonesByName"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "*"
            ]
        },
        {

            "Action": [
                "route53:ChangeResourceRecordSets"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:route53:::hostedzone/${HOSTED_ZONE_ID}"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Staging Certificate

Staging certificates are not natively trusted. If you'd like to prevent the security messages in the browser;

Mac
  1. Download Fake LE Intermediate X1⁠.
  2. Open Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access.
  3. Click on Certificates.
  4. Drag fakeleintermediatex1.pem into the window to add it.
  5. Double click Fake LE Intermediate X1.
  6. Window will pop open. Under the Trust section, set When using this certificate to Always Trust.
  7. Close window. Confirm window will pop open. Enter password and click Update Settings.

There should now be a blue and white plus icon associated with the certificate. You may need to restart your browser before the change takes effect.

iOS
  1. Go to https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment⁠ click on Fake LE Intermediate X1.
  2. You will be redirected to an Install Profile page. Click Install.
  3. Enter device password.
  4. Click Install, and Install again.
  5. Click Done.

To view the certificate got to Settings -> General -> Profile.
