------------
* Python (2.7+ and 3.3+ should work)
* python-dateutil
* PyYAML
* pyOpenSSL (0.15.1+)
* cryptography
Optional packages
-----------------
* PyYAML (when using config files in YAML format)
* dnspython (required for the dns.nsupdate mode)
Initial Setup
-------------
First, you need to provide two key files for the ACME protocol:
* The account key is expected at `/etc/acme/account.key`
* The domain key is expected at `/etc/acme/server.key` (Note: only one domain key is required for all domains used in the same instance of acertmgr)
* If you are missing these keys, you can create them using `openssl genrsa 4096 > /etc/acme/account.key` and `openssl genrsa 4096 > /etc/acme/server.key` respectively
* Do not forget to set proper permissions of the keys using `chmod 0400 /etc/acme/*.key`
Secondly, you should download the letsencrypt CA certificate:
* `wget -O /etc/acme/lets-encrypt-x3-cross-signed.pem https://letsencrypt.org/certs/lets-encrypt-x3-cross-signed.pem`
* The path to this file must be entered in the configuration, see examples below
Thirdly, you should decide which challenge mode you want to use with acertmgr:
You should decide which challenge mode you want to use with acertmgr:
* webdir: In this mode, challenges are put into a directory, and served by an existing webserver
* standalone: In this mode, challenges are completed by acertmgr directly.
This starts a webserver to solve the challenges, which can be used standalone or together with an existing webserver that forwards request to a specified local port
* Make sure that the `webdir` directory exists in both cases (Note: the standalone webserver does not yet serve the files in situ)
* webdir/standalone: Make sure that the `webdir` directory exists in both cases (Note: the standalone webserver does not yet serve the files in situation)
* dns.*: This mode puts the challenge into a TXT record for the domain (usually _acme-challenge.<domain>) where it will be parsed from by the authority
* dns.* (Alias mode): Can be used similar to the above but allows redirection of _acme-challenge.<domain> to any other (updatable domain) defined in dns_updatedomain via CNAME (e.g. _acme-challenge.example.net IN CNAME bla.foo.bar with config dns_updatedomain="bla.foo.bar" in config)
* dns.nsupdate: Updates the TXT record using RFC2136 (with dnspython)
You can optionally provide the key files for the ACME protocol, if you do not they will be automatically created:
* The account key is expected at `/etc/acme/account.key`
* The domain key is expected at `/etc/acme/server.key` (Note: only one domain key is required for all domains used in the same instance of acertmgr)
* If you are missing these keys, they will be created for you or you can create them using `openssl genrsa 4096 > /etc/acme/account.key` and `openssl genrsa 4096 > /etc/acme/server.key` respectively
* Do not forget to set proper permissions of the keys using `chmod 0400 /etc/acme/*.key`
Finally, you need to setup the configuration files, as shown in the next section.
While testing, you can use the acme-staging authority instead, in order to avoid issuing too many certificates.

The main configuration is read from `/etc/acme/acme.conf`, domains for which certificates should be obtained/renewed should be configured in `/etc/acme/domains.d/*.conf`.
All configuration files use yaml syntax.
All configuration files can use yaml (requires PyYAML) or json syntax.
