Command-line tool to generate a Let's Encrypt certificate for use with GitLab Pages.
npm install -g gitlab-letsencryptgitlab-le can be used interactively:
gitlab-leor as part of a script. Any omitted parameters will be prompted for interactively:
gitlab-le \
--email [email protected] `# Let's Encrypt email address` \
--domain example.com `# Domain that the cert will be issued for` \
--repository gitlab_user/gitlab_repo `# Namespaced repository identifier` \
--token ... `# GitLab personal access token, see https://gitlab.com/profile/personal_access_tokens`Expand this section for example usage and output.
``` $ gitlab-le --email [email protected] --repository example/example.gitlab.io --token ... --domain example.com By using Let's Encrypt, you are agreeing to the TOS at https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.0.1-July-27-2015.pdf Uploaded challenge file, waiting for it to be available at http://example.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/lLqa_7sLPQzz102c2KIc3pqMevUyM_Ru92whx6w1C-4 Could not find challenge file.

## Security
`gitlab-le` does not save or log anything to disk.
The GitLab access token is used to upload the challenge file to your repository and to delete it once the challenge is completed.
## Motivation
Let's Encrypt certificates expire every 90 days - this is by design to take advantage of automated renewals using [ACME](https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-acme-acme-01).
However, GitLab does not provide a way to automatically renew certificates, so this process must be done manually.
## Automation
GitLab does not provide an API to update domains or certificates for a Page, so these must be updated manually through the UI.
If you like this tool and want full automation (e.g. stick this in a cron job and forget about it), [let GitLab know](https://gitlab.com/pages/pages.gitlab.io/issues/23)!
