About the Let's Encrypt Client
==============================

|build-status| |coverage| |docs|

In short: getting and installing SSL/TLS certificates made easy (`watch demo video`_).

The Let's Encrypt Client is a tool to automatically receive and install
X.509 certificates to enable TLS on servers. The client will
interoperate with the Let's Encrypt CA which will be issuing browser-trusted
certificates for free beginning the summer of 2015.

It's all automated:

* The tool will prove domain control to the CA and submit a CSR (Certificate
  Signing Request).
* If domain control has been proven, a certificate will get issued and the tool
  will automatically install it.

All you need to do is:

::

   user@www:~$ sudo letsencrypt -d www.example.org


**Encrypt ALL the things!**

Disclaimer
----------

This is a **DEVELOPER PREVIEW** intended for developers and testers only.

**DO NOT RUN THIS CODE ON A PRODUCTION SERVER. IT WILL INSTALL CERTIFICATES
SIGNED BY A TEST CA, AND WILL CAUSE CERT WARNINGS FOR USERS.**


Current Features
----------------

* web servers supported:

  - apache2.x (tested and working on Ubuntu Linux)
  - standalone (runs its own webserver to prove you control the domain)

* the private key is generated locally on your system
* can talk to the Let's Encrypt (demo) CA or optionally to other ACME
  compliant services
* can get domain-validated (DV) certificates
* can revoke certificates
* adjustable RSA key bitlength (2048 (default), 4096, ...)
* optionally can install a http->https redirect, so your site effectively
  runs https only
* fully automated
* configuration changes are logged and can be reverted using the CLI
* text and ncurses UI
* Free and Open Source Software, made with Python.
