4346## How to Use
4447
45- To be added later.
48+ Add the moduel to the nginx configuration and configure as described below.
49+
50+ ## Example Configuration
51+
52+
53+ ``` nginx
54+ resolver 127.0.0.1;
55+
56+ acme_issuer example {
57+ uri https://acme.example.com/directory;
58+ 59+ state_path /var/lib/nginx/acme-example;
60+ }
61+
62+ acme_shared_zone 1M;
63+
64+ server {
65+ server_name .example.test;
66+
67+ acme_certificate .example.test
68+ issuer=example;
69+
70+ ssl_certificate $acme_certificate;
71+ ssl_certificate_key $acme_certificate_key;
72+ }
73+
74+ ```
75+
76+ ## Directives
77+
78+ ### acme_issuer
79+
80+ ** Syntax:** acme_issuer ` name `
81+
82+ ** Default:** -
83+
84+ ** Context:** http
85+
86+ Defines an ACME certificate issuer object.
87+
88+ ### uri
89+
90+ ** Syntax:** uri ` uri `
91+
92+ ** Default:** -
93+
94+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
95+
96+ The [ directory URL] ( https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8555#section-7.1.1 )
97+ of the ACME server. This is the only mandatory parameter in the
98+ [ ] ( #acme_issuer ) block.
99+
100+ ### account_key
101+
102+ ** Syntax:** account_key ` alg[:size] ` | ` file `
103+
104+ ** Default:** -
105+
106+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
107+
108+ The account's private key used for request authentication.
109+ Accepted values:
110+
111+ - ` ecdsa:256/384/521 ` for ` ES256 ` / ` ES384 ` / ` ES512 ` JSON Web Signature algorithms
112+ - ` rsa:2048..4096 ` for ` RS256 ` .
113+ - File path for an existing key, using one of the algorithms above.
114+
115+ The generated account keys are preserved across reloads, but will be lost on
116+ restart unless [ ] ( #state_path ) is configured.
117+
118+ ### contact
119+
120+ ** Syntax:** contact ` url `
121+
122+ ** Default:** -
123+
124+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
125+
126+ An array of URLs that the ACME server can use to contact the client for issues
127+ related to this account.
128+
129+ Can be specified multiple times.
130+
131+ ### resolver
132+
133+ ** Syntax:** resolver ` address ` ... [ ` valid ` = ` time ` ] [ ` ipv4 ` = ` on ` | ` off ` ] [ ` ipv6 ` = ` on ` | ` off ` ] [ ` status_zone ` = ` zone ` ]
134+
135+ ** Default:** -
136+
137+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
138+
139+ Configures name servers used to resolve names of upstream servers into
140+ addresses.
141+ See [ resolver] ( https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#resolver )
142+ for the parameter reference.
143+
144+ Required, but can be inherited from the ` http ` block.
145+ ### resolver_timeout
146+
147+ ** Syntax:** resolver_timeout ` time `
148+
149+ ** Default:** 30s
150+
151+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
152+
153+ Sets a timeout for name resolution, for example:
154+
155+ ``` nginx
156+ resolver_timeout 5s;
157+
158+ ```
159+
160+ ### ssl_trusted_certificate
161+
162+ ** Syntax:** ssl_trusted_certificate ` file `
163+
164+ ** Default:** system CA bundle
165+
166+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
167+
168+ Specifies a ` file ` with trusted CA certificates in the PEM format
169+ used to [ verify] ( #ssl_verify )
170+ the certificate of the ACME server.
171+
172+ ### ssl_verify
173+
174+ ** Syntax:** ssl_verify ` on ` | ` off `
175+
176+ ** Default:** on
177+
178+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
179+
180+ Enables or disables verification of the ACME servier certificate.
181+
182+ ### state_path
183+
184+ ** Syntax:** state_path ` path `
185+
186+ ** Default:** -
187+
188+ ** Context:** acme_issuer
189+
190+ Defines a directory for storing the module data that can be persisted across
191+ restarts. This could greatly improve the time until the server is ready and
192+ help with rate-limiting ACME servers.
193+
194+ The directory, if configured, will contain sensitive content:
195+ the account key, the issued certificates and private keys.
196+
197+ ### acme_shared_zone
198+
199+ ** Syntax:** acme_shared_zone ` size `
200+
201+ ** Default:** 262k
202+
203+ ** Context:** http
204+
205+ An optional directive that allows increasing the size of in-memory storage of
206+ the module.
207+ The shared memory zone will be used to store the issued certificates, keys and
208+ challenge data for all the configured certificate issuers.
209+
210+ ### acme_certificate
211+
212+ ** Syntax:** acme_certificate ` identifier ` ... ` issuer ` = ` issuer_name ` [ ` key ` = ` alg[:size] ` | ` file ` ]
213+
214+ ** Default:** -
215+
216+ ** Context:** server
217+
218+ Defines a certificate with the list of ` identifier ` s requested from
219+ issuer ` issuer_name ` .
220+ The ` key ` parameter sets the type of generated private key or a
221+ path to an existing file. Supported key algorithms and sizes:
222+ ` ecdsa:256 ` (default), ` ecdsa:384 ` ,
223+ ` ecdsa:521 ` ,
224+ ` rsa:2048 ` .. ` rsa:4096 ` .
225+
226+ > Since 1.27.2, the ` key ` parameter supports the additional schemes implemented in the
227+ > [ ssl_certificate_key] ( https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_certificate_key )
228+ > directive: ` data: ` , ` engine: ` and more recently ` store: ` ,
229+ > with a caveat that password-protected keys are not supported.
230+
231+ ## Embedded Variables
232+
233+ The ` ngx_http_acme_module ` module defines following embedded
234+ variables, valid in the ` server ` block with the
235+ [ acme_certificate] ( #acme_certificate ) directive:
236+
237+ ### `` $acme_certificate ``
238+
239+ SSL certificate that can be passed to the
240+ [ ssl_certificate] ( https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_certificate ) .
241+
242+ ### `` $acme_certificate_key ``
243+
244+ SSL certificate private key that can be passed to the
245+ [ ssl_certificate_key] ( https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_certificate_key ) .
