2019-03-14 08:30:04 +00:00
You can configure Traefik to use an ACME provider (like Let's Encrypt) for automatic certificate generation.

## Automatic Renewals
Traefik automatically tracks the expiry date of ACME certificates it generates.
2019-07-01 09:30:05 +00:00
If there are less than 30 days remaining before the certificate expires, Traefik will attempt to renew it automatically.
2019-05-09 13:22:05 +00:00
!!! note
Certificates that are no longer used may still be renewed, as Traefik does not currently check if the certificate is being used before renewing.

## The Different ACME Challenges
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
### `tlsChallenge`
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
Use the `TLS-ALPN-01` challenge to generate and renew ACME certificates by provisioning a TLS certificate.
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
As described on the Let's Encrypt [community forum ](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/support-for-ports-other-than-80-and-443/3419/72 ),
when using the `TLS-ALPN-01` challenge, Traefik must be reachable by Let's Encrypt through port 443.

2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
### `httpChallenge`
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
Use the `HTTP-01` challenge to generate and renew ACME certificates by provisioning an HTTP resource under a well-known URI.
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
As described on the Let's Encrypt [community forum ](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/support-for-ports-other-than-80-and-443/3419/72 ),
when using the `HTTP-01` challenge, `acme.httpChallenge.entryPoint` must be reachable by Let's Encrypt through port 80.

2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
### `dnsChallenge`
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
Use the `DNS-01` challenge to generate and renew ACME certificates by provisioning a DNS record.
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
??? example "Configuring a `dnsChallenge` with the DigitalOcean Provider"

2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
!!! important
A `provider` is mandatory.
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
#### `providers`
Here is a list of supported `providers` , that can automate the DNS verification,
along with the required environment variables and their [wildcard & root domain support ](#wildcard-domains ).
2019-03-27 09:50:03 +00:00
Do not hesitate to complete it.
Every lego environment variable can be overridden by their respective `_FILE` counterpart, which should have a filepath to a file that contains the secret as its value.
For example, `CF_API_EMAIL_FILE=/run/secrets/traefik_cf-api-email` could be used to provide a Cloudflare API email address as a Docker secret named `traefik_cf-api-email` .

[^4]: `docker stack` remark: there is no way to support terminal attached to container when deploying with `docker stack` , so you might need to run container with `docker run -it` to generate certificates using `manual` provider.
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
!!! note "`delayBeforeCheck`"
By default, the `provider` verifies the TXT record _before_ letting ACME verify.
You can delay this operation by specifying a delay (in seconds) with `delayBeforeCheck` (value must be greater than zero).
This option is useful when internal networks block external DNS queries.

#### Wildcard Domains
[ACME V2 ](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/acme-v2-and-wildcard-certificate-support-is-live/55579 ) supports wildcard certificates.
As described in [Let's Encrypt's post ](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/staging-endpoint-for-acme-v2/49605 ) wildcard certificates can only be generated through a [`DNS-01` challenge ](#dnschallenge ).

```toml tab="TOML"
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00

# ...

# ...
```

!!! note "Double Wildcard Certificates"
It is not possible to request a double wildcard certificate for a domain (for example `*.*.local.com` ).
2019-03-14 08:30:04 +00:00
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
Most likely the root domain should receive a certificate too, so it needs to be specified as SAN and 2 `DNS-01` challenges are executed.
In this case the generated DNS TXT record for both domains is the same.
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
Even though this behavior is [DNS RFC ](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/wildcard-issuance-two-txt-records-for-the-same-name/54528/2 ) compliant,
it can lead to problems as all DNS providers keep DNS records cached for a given time (TTL) and this TTL can be greater than the challenge timeout making the `DNS-01` challenge fail.
2019-03-13 15:40:05 +00:00
The Traefik ACME client library [LEGO ](https://github.com/go-acme/lego ) supports some but not all DNS providers to work around this issue.
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
The [Supported `provider` table ](#providers ) indicates if they allow generating certificates for a wildcard domain and its root domain.
## Known Domains, SANs
You can set SANs (alternative domains) for each main domain.
Every domain must have A/AAAA records pointing to Traefik.
Each domain & SAN will lead to a certificate request.

sans:
- "local3.com"
- "test1.test1.local3.com"
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
# ...
```
!!! important
The certificates for the domains listed in `acme.domains` are negotiated at Traefik startup only.
!!! note
Wildcard certificates can only be verified through a `DNS-01` challenge.

## `onHostRule`
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
2019-03-14 08:30:04 +00:00
Enable certificate generation on [routers ](../routing/routers/index.md ) `Host` & `HostSNI` rules.
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
This will request a certificate from Let's Encrypt for each router with a Host rule.
2019-07-01 09:30:05 +00:00
```toml tab="TOML"
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00

```
```yaml tab="YAML"
acme:
# ...
onHostRule: true
# ...
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
```
!!! note "Multiple Hosts in a Rule"
The rule `Host(test1.traefik.io,test2.traefik.io)` will request a certificate with the main domain `test1.traefik.io` and SAN `test2.traefik.io` .
!!! warning
`onHostRule` option can not be used to generate wildcard certificates. Refer to [wildcard generation ](#wildcard-domains ) for further information.

## `storage`
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
The `storage` option sets the location where your ACME certificates are saved to.
2019-07-01 09:30:05 +00:00
```toml tab="TOML"
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
[acme]
2019-07-01 09:30:05 +00:00
# ...
storage = "acme.json"
# ...
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
```
2019-07-01 09:30:05 +00:00
```yaml tab="YAML"
acme
# ...
storage: acme.json
# ...
```
The value can refer to some kinds of storage:
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
- a JSON file
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
### In a File
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
ACME certificates can be stored in a JSON file that needs to have a `600` file mode .
In Docker you can mount either the JSON file, or the folder containing it:
```bash
docker run -v "/my/host/acme.json:acme.json" traefik
```
```bash
docker run -v "/my/host/acme:/etc/traefik/acme" traefik
```
!!! warning
For concurrency reason, this file cannot be shared across multiple instances of Traefik. Use a key value store entry instead.
2019-04-08 15:14:08 +00:00
## Fallback
2019-02-26 13:50:07 +00:00
If Let's Encrypt is not reachable, the following certificates will apply:
1. Previously generated ACME certificates (before downtime)
1. Expired ACME certificates
1. Provided certificates
!!! note
2019-03-18 09:50:05 +00:00
For new (sub)domains which need Let's Encrypt authentication, the default Traefik certificate will be used until Traefik is restarted.
