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