!!! note
Even if TLS-SNI-01 challenge is disabled for the moment, it stays the by default ACME Challenge in Træfik.
If TLS-SNI-01 challenge is not re-enabled in the future, it we will be removed from Træfik.
!!! note
If TLS-SNI-01 challenge is used, acme.entryPoint has to be reachable by Let's Encrypt through the port 443.
If HTTP-01 challenge is used, acme.httpChallenge.entryPoint has to be defined and reachable by Let's Encrypt through the port 80.
These are Let's Encrypt limitations as described on the community forum.
Let's Encrypt downtime
Let's Encrypt functionality will be limited until Træfik is restarted.
If Let's Encrypt is not reachable, these certificates will be used :
- ACME certificates already generated before downtime
- Expired ACME certificates
- Provided certificates
!!! note Default Træfik certificate will be used instead of ACME certificates for new (sub)domains (which need Let's Encrypt challenge).
storage
[acme]
# ...
storage = "acme.json"
# ...
File or key used for certificates storage.
WARNING: If you use Træfik in Docker, you have 2 options:
- create a file on your host and mount it as a volume:
storage = "acme.json"
docker run -v "/my/host/acme.json:acme.json" traefik
- mount the folder containing the file as a volume
storage = "/etc/traefik/acme/acme.json"
docker run -v "/my/host/acme:/etc/traefik/acme" traefik
!!! note
storage replaces storageFile which is deprecated.
!!! note
During Træfik configuration migration from a configuration file to a KV store (thanks to storeconfig subcommand as described here), if ACME certificates have to be migrated too, use both storageFile and storage.
- `storageFile` will contain the path to the `acme.json` file to migrate.
- `storage` will contain the key where the certificates will be stored.
acme.httpChallenge
Use HTTP-01 challenge to generate/renew ACME certificates.
The redirection is fully compatible with the HTTP-01 challenge. You can use redirection with HTTP-01 challenge without problem.
[acme]
# ...
entryPoint = "https"
[acme.httpChallenge]
entryPoint = "http"
entryPoint
Specify the entryPoint to use during the challenges.
[entryPoints]
[entryPoints.http]
address = ":80"
[entryPoints.https]
address = ":443"
[entryPoints.https.tls]
# ...
[acme]
# ...
entryPoint = "https"
[acme.httpChallenge]
entryPoint = "http"
!!! note
acme.httpChallenge.entryPoint has to be reachable by Let's Encrypt through the port 80.
It's a Let's Encrypt limitation as described on the community forum.
acme.dnsChallenge
Use DNS-01 challenge to generate/renew ACME certificates.
[acme]
# ...
[acme.dnsChallenge]
provider = "digitalocean"
delayBeforeCheck = 0
# ...

delayBeforeCheck
By default, the provider will verify the TXT DNS challenge record before letting ACME verify.
If delayBeforeCheck is greater than zero, avoid this & instead just wait so many seconds.
Useful if internal networks block external DNS queries.
!!! note
This field has no sense if a provider is not defined.
onDemand (Deprecated)
!!! warning This option is deprecated.
[acme]
# ...
onDemand = true
# ...
Enable on demand certificate.
This will request a certificate from Let's Encrypt during the first TLS handshake for a hostname that does not yet have a certificate.
!!! warning TLS handshakes will be slow when requesting a hostname certificate for the first time, this can lead to DoS attacks.
!!! warning Take note that Let's Encrypt have rate limiting.
onHostRule
[acme]
# ...
onHostRule = true
# ...
Enable certificate generation on frontends Host rules.
This will request a certificate from Let's Encrypt for each frontend with a Host rule.
For example, a rule Host:test1.traefik.io,test2.traefik.io will request a certificate with main domain test1.traefik.io and SAN test2.traefik.io.
caServer
[acme]
# ...
caServer = "https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"
# ...
CA server to use.
- Uncomment the line to run on the staging Let's Encrypt server.
- Leave comment to go to prod.
acme.domains
[acme]
# ...
[[acme.domains]]
main = "local1.com"
sans = ["test1.local1.com", "test2.local1.com"]
[[acme.domains]]
main = "local2.com"
sans = ["test1.local2.com", "test2.local2.com"]
[[acme.domains]]
main = "local3.com"
[[acme.domains]]
main = "local4.com"
# ...
You can provide SANs (alternative domains) to each main domain. All domains must have A/AAAA records pointing to Træfik.
!!! warning Take note that Let's Encrypt have rate limiting.
Each domain & SANs will lead to a certificate request.
dnsProvider (Deprecated)
!!! warning This option is deprecated. Please refer to DNS challenge provider section
delayDontCheckDNS (Deprecated)
