Nginx Certbot Automation

🔥 Description

This role automates the setup of an automatic Let's Encrypt certificate renewal system for Nginx using Certbot. It ensures that SSL/TLS certificates are renewed seamlessly in the background and that Nginx reloads automatically after successful renewals.

📖 Overview

Optimized for Archlinux systems, this role installs the certbot-nginx package, configures a dedicated systemd service for certificate renewal, and integrates with a sys-timer to schedule periodic renewals. After a renewal, Nginx is reloaded to apply the updated certificates immediately.

Key Features

  • Automatic Renewal: Schedules unattended certificate renewals using sys-timers.
  • Seamless Nginx Reload: Reloads the Nginx service automatically after successful renewals.
  • Systemd Integration: Manages renewal operations reliably with systemd and sys-ctl-alm-compose.
  • Quiet and Safe Operation: Uses --quiet and --agree-tos flags to ensure non-interactive renewals.

🎯 Purpose

The Nginx Certbot Automation role ensures that Let's Encrypt SSL/TLS certificates stay valid without manual intervention. It enhances the security and reliability of web services by automating certificate lifecycle management.

🚀 Features

  • Certbot-Nginx Package Installation: Installs required certbot plugins for Nginx.
  • Custom Systemd Service: Configures a lightweight, dedicated renewal service.
  • Timer Setup: Uses sys-timer to run certbot renewals periodically.
  • Failure Notification: Integrated with sys-ctl-alm-compose for alerting on failures.
