# `finallycoffee.base.lego` ansible role
|
|
|
|
This role can be used to retrieve ACME certificates on the target host. It uses `lego` for that, and with systemd template units provides an easy way to configure and monitor the status for each certificate.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- `systemd`
|
|
- write access to /tmp to unpack the lego release tarball during installation
|
|
- write access to /opt/lego (or whatever `lego_base_path` is set to) for configuration and certificate data
|
|
- `become` privileges of the `ansible_user` on the target
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Required configuration
|
|
|
|
- `lego_instance` - used for allowing multiple lego jobs to run with systemd template units. recommended to be set to the CN / first SAN of the certificate.
|
|
- `lego_cert_domains` - list of FQDNs to request a certificate for
|
|
- `lego_acme_account_email` - when using letsencrypt, a contact email is mandatory
|
|
|
|
### Proxies / Registries
|
|
|
|
The role ensure `lego` is downloaded from the github release page. If you are behind a proxy or use a registry like Nexus3, set `lego_release_archive_server`.
|
|
|
|
### ACME server
|
|
|
|
Per default, the Letsencrypt Staging ACME server is configured. Set `lego_acme_server_url` from `lego_letsencrypt_server_urls.{qa,prod}` or configure your own ACME v2 server directly.
|
|
|
|
### Certificate
|
|
|
|
To set for which domains to request a certificate for, set them as a list of SANs in `lego_cert_domains`. The default key type is EC256 and can be overridden using `lego_cert_key_type`.
|
|
|
|
Set the type of challenge in `lego_acme_challenge_type` (to either `http` or `dns`), and `lego_acme_challenge_provider` to, for example, `rfc2136` for DNS challenges using the DNSUPDATE mechanism. If your challenge needs additional data, set that in `lego_command_config` as a dictionary analog to `lego_base_command_config` (see [defaults](defaults/main.yml)).
|
|
|
|
## Trivia
|
|
|
|
### Architecture
|
|
|
|
By default, the lego distribution for `linux` on `amd64` is downloaded. If your target needs a different architecture or target OS, adjust this in `lego_os` and `lego_architecture`, cross-checking with the [lego GitHub release page](https://github.com/go-acme/lego/releases/tag/v4.17.4) for upstream availability.
|
|
|
|
### User management
|
|
|
|
The role will attempt to create user+group for each seperate lego instance for data isolation (i.e. to avoid leaking a TSIG key from one lego instance to other services). The user and group are of the form `acme-{{ lego_instance }}`. Beware that changing this in `lego_cert_{user,group}` also requires `lego_systemd_{user,group}` to be adjusted!
|
|
|
|
### Binding to ports < 1024 (HTTP-01 challenge)
|
|
|
|
Set `lego_binary_allow_net_bind_service: true` to allow the lego binary to bind to ports in the 'privileged' (< 1024) port range.
