Route53 plugin for Let's Encrypt client
Before you start
It's expected that the root hosted zone for the domain in question already exists in your account.
Setup
-
Create a virtual environment
-
Update its pip and setuptools (
VENV/bin/pip install -U setuptools pip
) to avoid problems with cryptography's dependency on setuptools>=11.3. -
Make sure you have libssl-dev and libffi (or your regional equivalents) installed. You might have to set compiler flags to pick things up (I have to use
CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib
on my macOS to pick up brew's openssl, for example). -
Install this package.
How to use it
Make sure you have access to AWS's Route53 service, either through IAM roles or
via .aws/credentials
. Check out
sample-aws-policy.json for the necessary permissions.
