Apache2 : Configure mod_md2023/04/28 |
Install and Configure [mod_md] to automate managing certificates from Let's Encrypt.
It's possbile to configure for each VirtualHost.
And it's not need to configure manual SSL/TLS setting like here for the Site with [mod_md].
Also it needs that it's possible to access from the Internet to the Site with [mod_md] because of verification from Let's Encrypt.

[1] | Install [mod_md]. |
root@www:~# apt -y install libapache2-mod-md
|
[2] | Configure [mod_md]. |
root@www:~#
vi /etc/apache2/conf-available/acme.conf # create new
MDBaseServer on
MDCertificateProtocol ACME
MDCAChallenges http-01
MDDriveMode auto
MDPrivateKeys RSA 2048
MDRenewWindow 33%
MDStoreDir md
MDCertificateAuthority https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
MDCertificateAgreement https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf
<Location "/md-status">
SetHandler md-status
Require ip 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.0/24

# [MDRenewWindow]
# default is [33%] if not specified
# if validity of certificates falls specified duration,
# [mod_md] will get new certificates
# 90 days * 33% ≒ 30 days
# if you'd like to set with day, specify [d]
# 30 days ⇒ [30d]
# [MDStoreDir]
# the directory certificates or other data are stored
# if not specified, default is [md]
# it is relative path from [ServerRoot] in [httpd.conf]
# [md-status]
# monitor MD status
|
[3] | Configure each VirtualHost you'd like to set [mod_md]. It needs to specify valid email address for each [ServerAdmin] directive because Let's Encrypt will send various notification. |
# for example, set on the site [rx-9.srv.world] site root@www:~# vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/rx-9.srv.world.conf MDomain rx-9.srv.world MDCertificateAgreement accepted DirectoryIndex index.html ServerAdmin root@rx-9.srv.world <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/www/rx-9 ServerName rx-9.srv.world </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> SSLEngine on DocumentRoot /var/www/rx-9 ServerName rx-9.srv.world </VirtualHost> a2enmod md Enabling module md. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl restart apache2root@www:~# a2enconf acme Enabling conf acme. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl reload apache2root@www:~# a2ensite rx-9.srv.world Enabling site rx-9.srv.world. To activate the new configuration, you need to run: systemctl reload apache2
root@www:~#
systemctl restart apache2

[4] | It's possible to confirm expiration date and others of certificate with [openssl] command like follows. Or it's possbile to see them to access to the URL of [md-status] you set on [2]. |
