Package: odoo12-addon-letsencrypt
This module was written to have your Odoo installation request SSL certificates
fromhttps://letsencrypt.orgautomatically.Table of contentsInstallationConfigurationUsageIn depth configurationBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsOther creditsACME implementationIconMaintainersInstallationAfter installation, this module generates a private key for your account at
letsencrypt.org automatically in$data_dir/letsencrypt/account.key. If you
want or need to use your own account key, replace the file.For certificate requests to work, your site needs to be accessible via plain
HTTP, see below for configuration examples in case you force your clients to
the SSL version.After installation, trigger the cronjobUpdate letsencrypt certificatesand
watch your log for messages.ConfigurationThis addons requests a certificate for the domain named in the configuration
parameterweb.base.url- if this comes back aslocalhostor the like,
the module doesn’t request anything.Futher self-explanatory settings are in Settings -> General Settings. There you
can add further domains to the CSR, add a custom script that updates your DNS
and add a script that will be used to reload your web server (if needed).
The number of domains that can be added to a certificate iscapped at 100. A wildcard
certificate can be used to avoid that limit.Note that all those domains must be publicly reachable on port 80 via HTTP, and
they must have an entry for.well-known/acme-challengepointing to$datadir/letsencrypt/acme-challengeof your odoo instance.Since DNS changes can take some time to propagate, when we respond to a DNS challenge
and the server tries to check our response, it might fail (and probably will).
The solution to this is documented inhttps://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8555#section-8.2and basically is aRetry-Afterheader under which we can instruct the server to
retry the challenge.
At the time these lines were written, Boulder had not implemented this functionality.
This prompted us to useletsencrypt.backoffconfiguration parameter, which is the
amount of minutes this module will try poll the server to retry validating the answer
to our challenge, specifically it is thedeadlineparameter ofpoll_and_finalize.UsageThe module sets up a cronjob that requests and renews certificates automatically.Certificates are renewed a month before they expire. Renewal is then attempted
every day until it succeeds.After the first run, you’ll find a file calleddomain.crtin$datadir/letsencrypt, configure your SSL proxy to use this file as certificate.In depth configurationIf you want to use multiple domains on your CSR then you have to configure them
from Settings -> General Settings. If you use a wildcard in any of those domains
then letsencrypt will return a DNS challenge. In order for that challenge to be
answered you will need toeitherprovide a script (as seen in General Settings)
or install a module that provides support for your DNS provider. In that module
you will need to create a function in the letsencrypt model with the name_respond_challenge_dns_$DNS_PROVIDERwhere$DNS_PROVIDERis the name of your
provider and can be any string with length greater than zero, and add the name
of your DNS provider in the settings dns_provider selection field.In any case if a script path is inserted in the settings page, it will be run
in case you want to update multiple DNS servers.A reload command can be set in the Settings as well in case you need to reload
your web server. This by default issudo /usr/sbin/service nginx reloadYou’ll also need a matching sudo configuration, like:your_odoo_user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/service nginx reloadFurther, if you force users to https, you’ll need something like for nginx:if ($scheme = "http") {
    set $redirect_https 1;
}
if ($request_uri ~ ^/.well-known/acme-challenge/) {
    set $redirect_https 0;
}
if ($redirect_https) {
    rewrite ^   https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}and this for apache:RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} "!^/.well-known/"
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]In case you need to redirect other nginx sites to your Odoo instance, declare
an upstream for your odoo instance and do something like:location /.well-known {
    proxy_pass    http://yourodooupstream;
}If you’re using a multi-database installation (with or without dbfilter option)
where /web/databse/selector returns a list of more than one database, then
you need to addletsencryptaddon to wide load addons list
(by default, onlywebaddon), setting--loadoption.
