Letsencrypt – Wildcard certificates

Route53

We will use the recommended client - certbot.

The Route53 plugin documentation is here: https://certbot-dns-route53.readthedocs.io/

Create the credentials as described in the documentation.

The easiest way how to run certbot is to use Docker:

$ sudo docker run 
      -it --rm --name certbot \
      -v "/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt" \
      -v "/var/lib/letsencrypt:/var/lib/letsencrypt" \
      -v "/path/to/aws/credentials:/root/.aws/config" \
      certbot/dns-route53 \
      certonly \
      -d example.com -d '*.example.com'

The certificates need to be renewed - add the command above to /etc/cron.d/certbot-docker:

0 */12 * * * root /usr/bin/docker run -t --rm --name certbot-renew -v ... -v ... -v ... certbot/dns-route53 -q renew

CNAME for domains not under control

If the domain's DNS settings are not under your direct control then you can setup CNAME to any other domain that is under your control.

for example if you want to setup wildcard cert *.example.com:

_acme-challenge.example.com. IN CNAME _acme-challenge.example.com.yourdomain.com.
