Lets Encrypt with Docker

Creating a certificate

docker run --rm -p 443:443 -p 80:80 --name letsencrypt -v "/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" -v "/var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" certbot/certbot certonly -n -m "sampastoriza@yahoo.com" -d blog.sampastoriza.com --standalone --agree-tos

Renewing the certificate

docker run --rm --name letsencrypt -v "/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" -v "/var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" -v "/usr/share/nginx/html:/usr/share/nginx/html" certbot/certbot:latest renew --quiet

Running the docker compose file

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build --force-recreate

Running in the background

docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up --build --force-recreate -d

Restarting all containers

docker restart $(docker ps -q)

Stopping all containers

docker stop $(docker ps -q)

Renewing the cert manually

I have had problems trying to create a cron job, so I run this manually to regenerate the certificate. Docker will then use the folder that has the generated certificates as volumes when creating the nginx docker container.

sudo certbot certonly -d blog.sampastoriza.com
