Automatically use Let's Encrypt certificates with a HostEurope WebPack
HostEurope has now changed the login mechanism again, this program cannot upload any more
I have a WebPack hosting package at HostEurope. They allow uploading certificates like the ones from Let's Encrypt, but there is no automation for the Let's Encrypt renewal. I have now created a script that automates the process. It runs on my Linux computer at home and organizes the process.
I did this a while ago, so let me know if you find the procedure does not work for you!
Modify the attached run.sh to contain variables for your situation. Set its permissions to 700 to protect your passwords: chmod 700 run.sh
Get getssl to communicate with Let's Encrypt.
Call ./getssl -w . -c yourdomain.com to set up
Modify the file yourdomain.com/getssl.cfg that has been created in the last
step.
Set additional domains as needed
SANS="www.yourdomain.com,subdomain.yourdomain.com,otherdomain.de"
In each web domain, create the directory .well-known/acme-challenge
For the base domain, and each additional domain, create a line in ACL. Add
the path to the domain's .well-known/acme-challenge as last parameter.
ACL=(
"ftp:${FTP_USER}:${FTP_PASSWD}:${DOMAIN}:www/.well-known/acme-challenge"
"ftp:${FTP_USER}:${FTP_PASSWD}:${DOMAIN}:www/.well-known/acme-challenge"
"ftp:${FTP_USER}:${FTP_PASSWD}:${DOMAIN}:/subdomain/.well-known/acme-challenge"
"ftp:${FTP_USER}:${FTP_PASSWD}:${DOMAIN}:/otherdomain/.well-known/acme-challenge"
)
Store the produced certificates in the current folder
DOMAIN_CERT_LOCATION="${KIS_DOMAIN}.crt"
DOMAIN_KEY_LOCATION="${KIS_DOMAIN}.key"
CA_CERT_LOCATION="chain.crt"
DOMAIN_CHAIN_LOCATION="domainchain.crt" # this is the domain cert and CA cert
Use the attached Perl Program to upload the certificates to the server
RELOAD_CMD="upload_to_kis.pl"
If all goes right, you just need to enter the directory and call ./run.sh.
This can also be done as a cron job:
23 5 * * * cd xxxxxx; ./run.sh >> log
Let me know if this works out for you!
