The interaction/letsencrypt image will:

• Automatically create or renew certificates on startup and daily thereafter.

• Optionally combine private keys and their full certificate chain for HAproxy and restart.

In your letsencrypt service:

• Define a DOMAINS environment variable. Certificates are separated by newline or semi-colon (;) and domains are separated by comma (,).

  Note that Let's Encrypt has a limit of 20 certificates per registered domain per week, and 100 names per certificate. You should combine subdomains into a single certificat, wherever possible.

  See: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/

• Define an EMAIL environment variable. It will be used for all certificates.

• Define an OPTIONS environment variable, if you want to pass additional arguments to certbot (e.g. --staging).

• Define an NGINX_PROXY_PASS=1 environment variable, if you want to access your sites over HTTP instead of redirecting to HTTPS. For example, if you are unable to generate certificates because Let's Encrypt is down or your account is rate limited.

If using with HAproxy:

• Add volumes_from: letsencrypt to your haproxy service.

• Define a DEFAULT_SSL_CERT environment variable to enable SSL termination. You can use a self signed certificate for this. It will only be used if no other certificates match.

  $ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout cert0.pem -out cert0.pem -nodes -subj '/CN=*'
  

• Define an HAPROXY_IMAGE=dockercloud/haproxy:1.6.3 environment variable in your letsencrypt service.

Sample compose and stack files are provided, including a wildcard self signed default certificate.
