<title>SSL/TLS Certificates with ACME</title>

<para>

NixOS supports automatic domain validation & certificate retrieval and
|
|
renewal using the ACME protocol. This is currently only implemented by and
|
|
for Let's Encrypt. The alternative ACME client <literal>lego</literal> is
|
|
used under the hood.

You need to have a running HTTP server for verification. The server must
|
|
have a webroot defined that can serve
|
|
<filename>.well-known/acme-challenge</filename>. This directory must be
|
|
writeable by the user that will run the ACME client.

For instance, this generic snippet could be used for Nginx:

listen 80;

location /.well-known/acme-challenge {

root /var/www/challenges;

location / {

return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

To enable ACME certificate retrieval & renewal for a certificate for

The private key <filename>key.pem</filename> and certificate

NixOS supports fetching ACME certificates for you by setting
|
|
<literal><link linkend="opt-services.nginx.virtualHosts._name_.enableACME">enableACME</link>
|
|
= true;</literal> in a virtualHost config. We first create self-signed
|
|
placeholder certificates in place of the real ACME certs. The placeholder
|
|
certs are overwritten when the ACME certs arrive. For
|
|
<literal>foo.example.com</literal> the config would look like.
