DynamoDB Storage adapter for CertMagic

Codeship Status for silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb Go Report Card Scrutinizer Code Quality Code Coverage

CertMagic Is an awesome package for doing all the heavy lifting with Let's Encrypt for certificate provisioning and use. In order to be flexible about how you use CertMagic, it has support for various methods of storing certificates. CertMagic has a Storage Interface allowing for multiple storage implementations.

This package is an implementation of the Storage interface that uses DynamoDB for certificate storage. We created this implementation for use in a clustered environment where our application runs in containers behind a load-balancer with no shared filesystem.

Authentication with AWS

This package uses the AWS Go library for interactions with DynamoDB. As such that library can detect your AWS credentials in multiple ways, in the following order:

  1. Environment Variables
  2. Shared Credentials file
  3. Shared Configuration file (if SharedConfig is enabled)
  4. EC2 Instance Metadata (credentials only)

For more information about authentication see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/session/.

Usage

package whatever

import (
    "github.com/caddyserver/certmagic"

    dynamodbstore "github.com/silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb/v3"
)

// ...

certmagic.Default.Storage = &dynamodbstore.DynamoDBStorage{
    Table:               "CertMagic",
    LockTimeout:         2 * time.Minute // optional: default is 5 minutes
    LockPollingInterval: 2 * time.Second // optional: default is 5 seconds
}

// ...

Only the table name is required, but you can also override the default values for LockTimeout and LockPollingTimeout if you want. Technically you can also override AwsEndpoint, AwsRegion, and AwsDisableSSL if you are running your own DynamoDB service. These settings are used in the unit tests so you can look there for examples.

Testing locally

You can build and run the tests for this package locally so long as you have Docker and Docker Compose available. Just run docker-compose run test. You could also run the DynamoDB local service separately and just run the tests from your local system, just be sure to adjust the AWS_ENDPOINT environment variable to point to where you have dynamodb-local running.

Creating the DynamoDB Table

Command line:

aws dynamodb create-table \
    --table-name CertMagic \
    --billing-mode PAY_PER_REQUEST \
    --attribute-definitions AttributeName=PrimaryKey,AttributeType=S \
    --key-schema AttributeName=PrimaryKey,KeyType=HASH

Terraform

resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "CertMagic" {
  name           = "CertMagic"
  billing_mode   = "PAY_PER_REQUEST"
  hash_key       = "PrimaryKey"

  attribute {
    name = "PrimaryKey"
    type = "S"
  }
}
