Dehydrated is a client for signing certificates with an ACME-server (e.g. Let's Encrypt) implemented as a relatively simple (zsh-compatible) bash-script. This client supports both ACME v1 and the new ACME v2 including support for wildcard certificates!

It uses the openssl utility for everything related to actually handling keys and certificates, so you need to have that installed.

Other dependencies are: cURL, sed, grep, awk, mktemp (all found pre-installed on almost any system, cURL being the only exception).

Current features:

  • Signing of a list of domains (including wildcard domains!)
  • Signing of a custom CSR (either standalone or completely automated using hooks!)
  • Renewal if a certificate is about to expire or defined set of domains changed
  • Certificate revocation
  • and lots more..

Please keep in mind that this software, the ACME-protocol and all supported CA servers out there are relatively young and there might be a few issues. Feel free to report any issues you find with this script or contribute by submitting a pull request, but please check for duplicates first (feel free to comment on those to get things rolling).

Getting started

For getting started I recommend taking a look at docs/domains_txt.md, docs/wellknown.md and the Usage section on this page (you'll probably only need the -c option).

Generally you want to set up your WELLKNOWN path first, and then fill in domains.txt.

Please note that you should use the staging URL when experimenting with this script to not hit Let's Encrypt's rate limits. See docs/staging.md.

If you have any problems take a look at our Troubleshooting guide.

Config

dehydrated is looking for a config file in a few different places, it will use the first one it can find in this order:

  • /etc/dehydrated/config
  • /usr/local/etc/dehydrated/config
  • The current working directory of your shell
  • The directory from which dehydrated was run

Have a look at docs/examples/config to get started, copy it to e.g. /etc/dehydrated/config and edit it to fit your needs.

 --ipv6 (-6)                      Resolve names to IPv6 addresses only
 --domain (-d) domain.tld         Use specified domain name(s) instead of domains.txt entry (one certificate!)
 --ca url/preset                  Use specified CA URL or preset
