certbot-docker

This project contains all sources to build the container image docker.io/volkerraschek/certbot. The primary goal of the image is to run certbot inside a container to support distributions which does not deploy a newer version of certbot.

Usage

The certbot binary is defined as entrypoint. Here is an example how to get the help menue from certbot.

docker run \
  --rm \
  --volume="/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt:rw" \
  volkerraschek/certbot-docker:latest \
  help

If you have existing certificates, you can renew your certificates with renew --noninteractive. Here the example.

docker run \
  --rm \
  --volume="/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt:rw" \
  volkerraschek/certbot-docker:latest \
  renew --noninteractive

Alternatively you can use a docker-compose.yml.

version: "3"
services:
  certbot:
    container_name: certbot
    # certbot command which should be executed
    command: renew --noninteractive
    image: volkerraschek/certbot-docker:latest
    volumes:
    - /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

Build image manually

To build the images manually check out the repository with git and use the make command to build the container images.
