# letsencrypt-express
|
|
|
|
Free SSL and Automatic HTTPS for node.js with Express, Connect, and other middleware systems
|
|
|
|
## Coming Soon
|
|
|
|
We're working on it
|
|
|
|
## In the meantime
|
|
|
|
See [examples/express-minimal.js](https://github.com/Daplie/node-letsencrypt/blob/master/examples/express-minimal.js)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm install --save letsencrypt-express
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
**Minimal**
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
// Note: using staging server url, remove .testing() for production
|
|
var lex = require('letsencrypt-express').testing();
|
|
var express = require('express');
|
|
var app = express();
|
|
|
|
app.use('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send({ success: true });
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
lex.create(app).listen();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Slightly more verbose
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
// Note: using staging server url, remove .testing() for production
|
|
var lex = require('letsencrypt-express').testing();
|
|
var express = require('express');
|
|
var app = express();
|
|
|
|
app.use('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send({ success: true });
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
lex.create('./letsencrypt.config', app).listen([80], [443, 5001], function () {
|
|
console.log("ENCRYPT __ALL__ THE DOMAINS!");
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### More Options Exposed
|
|
|
|
```javascript
|
|
'use strict';
|
|
|
|
var lex = require('letsencrypt-express');
|
|
var express = require('express');
|
|
var app = express();
|
|
|
|
app.use('/', function (req, res) {
|
|
res.send({ success: true });
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
var results = lex.create({
|
|
configDir: '/etc/letsencrypt'
|
|
, onRequest: app
|
|
, server: require('letsencrypt').productionServerUrl
|
|
}).listen(
|
|
|
|
// you can give just the port, or expand out to the full options
|
|
[80, { port: 8080, address: 'localhost', onListening: function () { console.log('http://localhost'); } }]
|
|
|
|
// you can give just the port, or expand out to the full options
|
|
, [443, 5001, { port: 8443, address: 'localhost' }]
|
|
|
|
// this is pretty much the default onListening handler
|
|
, function onListening() {
|
|
var server = this;
|
|
var protocol = ('requestCert' in server) ? 'https': 'http';
|
|
console.log("Listening at " + protocol + '://localhost:' + this.address().port);
|
|
}
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
// In case you need access to the raw servers (i.e. using websockets)
|
|
console.log(results.plainServers);
|
|
console.log(results.tlsServers);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### WebSockets with Let's Encrypt
|
|
|
|
Note: you don't need to create websockets for the plain ports.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
results.tlsServers.forEach(function (server) {
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// checks options and sets up defaults. returns object with `listen`
|
|
LEX.create(options) // (it was really just done this way to appeal to what people are used to seeing)
|
|
|
|
lex.listen(plain, tls, fn) // actually creates the servers and causes them to listen
|
|
|
|
|
|
// receives an instance of letsencrypt, returns an SNICallback handler for https.createServer()
|
|
LEX.createSniCallback(opts) // this will call letsencrypt.renew and letsencrypt.register as appropriate
|
|
// it will randomly stagger renewals such that they don't all happen at once on boot
|
|
// or at any other time. registrations will be handled as per `handleRegistration`
|
|
opts = {
|
|
letsencrypt: <obj> // letsencrypt instance
|
|
, memorizeFor: <1 day> // how long to wait before checking the disk for updated certificates
|
|
, renewWithin: <3 days> // the first possible moment the certificate staggering should begin
|
|
, failedWait: <5 minutes> // how long to wait before trying again if the certificate registration failed
|
|
|
|
|
|
// registrations are NOT approved automatically by default due to security concerns
|
|
, approveRegistration: func // (someone can spoof servername indication to your server and cause you to be rate-limited)
|
|
// but you can implement handling of them if you wish
|
|
// (note that you should probably call the callback immediately with a tlsContext)
|
|
//
|
|
// default function (hostname, cb) { cb(null, null); }
|
|
//
|
|
// example function (hostname, cb) {
|
|
// cb(null, { domains: [hostname], agreeTos: true, email: 'user@example.com' });
|
|
// }
|
|
|
|
|
|
, handleRenewFailure: func // renewals are automatic, but sometimes they may fail. If that happens, you should handle it
|
|
// (note that renewals happen in the background)
|
|
//
|
|
// default function (err, letsencrypt, hostname, certInfo) {}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
// uses `opts.webrootPath` to read from the filesystem
|
|
LEX.getChallenge(opts, hostname, key cb)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
If any of these values are `undefined` or `null` the will assume use reasonable defaults.
|
|
|
|
Partially defined values will be merged with the defaults.
|
|
|
|
Setting the value to `false` will, in many cases (as documented), disable the defaults.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
configDir: string // string the letsencrypt configuration path (de facto /etc/letsencrypt)
|
|
//
|
|
// default os.homedir() + '/letsencrypt/etc'
|
|
|
|
|
|
webrootPath: string // string a path to a folder where temporary challenge files will be stored and read
|
|
//
|
|
// default os.tmpdir() + '/acme-challenge'
|
|
|
|
|
|
getChallenge: func | false // false do not handle getChallenge
|
|
//
|
|
// func Example:
|
|
//
|
|
// default function (defaults, hostname, key, cb) {
|
|
// var filename = path.join(defaults.webrootPath.replace(':hostname', hostname), key);
|
|
// fs.readFile(filename, 'ascii', function (cb, text) {
|
|
// cb(null, text);
|
|
// })
|
|
// }
|
|
|
|
|
|
httpsOptions: object // object will be merged with internal defaults and passed to https.createServer()
|
|
// { pfx, key, cert, passphrase, ca, ciphers, rejectUnauthorized, secureProtocol }
|
|
// See https://nodejs.org/api/https.html
|
|
// Note: if SNICallback is specified, it will be run *before*
|
|
// the internal SNICallback that manages automated certificates
|
|
//
|
|
// default uses a localhost cert and key to prevent https.createServer() from throwing an error
|
|
// and also uses our SNICallback, which manages certificates
|
|
|
|
|
|
sniCallback: func // func replace the default sniCallback handler (which manages certificates) with your own
|
|
|
|
|
|
letsencrypt: object // object configure the letsencrypt object yourself and pass it in directly
|
|
//
|
|
// default we create the letsencrypt object using parameters you specify
|
|
|
|
server: url // url use letsencrypt.productionServerUrl (i.e. https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory)
|
|
// or letsencrypt.stagingServerUrl (i.e. https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory)
|
|
//
|
|
// default production
|
|
```

|
## Heroku?
|
|
|
|
This doesn't work on heroku because heroku uses a proxy with built-in https
|
|
(which is a smart thing to do) and besides, they want you to pay big bucks
|
|
for https. (hopefully not for long?...)
