使用LetsEncrypt生成SSL证书

This article shows you how to add a Lets Encrypt certificate to Domoticz so you can access your server over a secure HTTPS channel.

The provided steps are executed using a Raspberry Pi, but they should work on every Linux OS.

Prerequisites (see here : http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Native_HTTPS_/_SSL_support)

Port 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) are forwarded to your Domoticz server
You own a domain name
The (sub)domain name for Domoticz has a DNS entry that points to your external IP address

Startup script

If you want Domoticz to use only HTTPS, you will need to edit the startup script.

sudo vi /etc/init.d/domoticz.sh

DAEMON_ARGS="-daemon -sslwww 443"

安装Let’s Encrypt

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt

生成证书

cd letsencrypt sudo ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --manual --email <your email> -d <your domain name>

You can specify multiple domain names using another -d parameter and domain name for each additional domain name.

If the following message shows don't press enter:

If you don't have HTTP server configured, you can run the following command on the target server (as root):
mkdir -p /tmp/letsencrypt/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge
cd /tmp/letsencrypt/public_html
printf "%s" <some random string> > .well-known/acmechallenge/<some random string>
# run only once per server:
$(command -v python2 || command -v python2.7 || command -v python2.6) -c \
"import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer; \
s = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('', 80), SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler); \
s.serve_forever()" 
Press ENTER to continue

Open another shell window and execute the given commands to validate the ownership of the server.

mkdir -p /tmp/letsencrypt/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge
cd /tmp/letsencrypt/public_html
printf "%s" <some random string> > .wellknown/acmechallenge/<some random string>
$(command -v python2 || command -v python2.7 || command -v python2.6) -c \
"import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer; \
s = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('', 80), SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler); \
s.serve_forever()"

Edit Nov 4 2016. Alternative : Domoticz is a web server, so the direct registration is possible. Simply put the file /tmp/letsencrypt/public_html/.well-known/acme-challenge/<some random string> to /home/pi/domoticz/www/.well-known/acme-challenge/ and check that your domoticz is accessible on the port HTTP 80. (aka : NAT forwarding in your router)

Now press enter on the other shell. If everything is OK this message shows:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your domain>/fullchain.pem. Your
   cert will expire on <date>. To obtain a new version of the
   certificate in the future, simply run Let's Encrypt again.

Add the certificate to Domoticz

The last thing to do is adding the created certificate to Domoticz. This is easily done with the following commands:

sudo rm ~/domoticz/server_cert.pem sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your domain>/privkey.pem >> ~/domoticz/server_cert.pem sudo cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/<your domain>/fullchain.pem >> ~/domoticz/server_cert.pem

When there's a domoticz error after rebooting the service like : Error: [web:443] missing SSL DH parameters from file Add the DHparam :

sudo cat /etc/ssl/certs/dhparam.pem >> ~/domoticz/server_cert.pem
