Let's Encrypt with the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter

This guide uses https://letsencrypt.org/ and https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh to generate a valid SSL certificate for the EdgeRouter.

Install/Update acme.sh & scripts

Configuration

  1. Initialize your certificate.

    sudo /config/scripts/renew.acme.sh -d subdomain.example.com

    You can include additional common names for your certificate, so long as they resolve to the same WAN address:

    sudo /config/scripts/renew.acme.sh -d subdomain.example.com -d subdomain2.example.com
  2. Enter configuration mode.

    configure
  3. Setup static host mapping for FQDN to the LAN IP.

    set system static-host-mapping host-name subdomain.example.com inet 192.168.1.1
  4. Configure cert-file location for gui.

    set service gui cert-file /config/ssl/server.pem
    set service gui ca-file /config/ssl/ca.pem
  5. Configure task scheduler to renew certificate automatically.

    set system task-scheduler task renew.acme executable path /config/scripts/renew.acme.sh
    set system task-scheduler task renew.acme interval 1d
    set system task-scheduler task renew.acme executable arguments '-d subdomain.example.com'

    If you included multiple names in step 1, you'll need to include any additional names here as well.

    set system task-scheduler task renew.acme executable arguments '-d subdomain.example.com -d subdomain2.example.com'
  6. Commit, save and exit configuration mode.

    commit
    save
    exit
  7. Accesss your router by going to https://subdomain.example.com
