ACME
ACME is a Let'sEncrypt Client implementation for OpenWRT. It will request and store SSL / HTTPS Certificates for various purposes. It can be utilized by Apache, NGinx, UHTTPD, etc. on OpenWRT.
Choices
As with everything in the world, there are choices. This article describes two different ways to install the acme.sh script. One, the "Easy Way". Two, the longer OpenWRT way.
Quick S
- UPGRADE Acme Scripts: As of 2022, the Acme Package from OpenWRT is broken / old / whatever (version 2.85), so upgrade to 3 or later (be sure to set permissions: chmod 755 acme.sh)
- Certificates Installed (show): /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --list
- Cron Command for Certificate Renewal: "/usr/lib/acme"/acme.sh --cron --home "/usr/lib/acme" --config-home "/etc/acme/config" > /dev/null
- Issuing a certficate (acme.sh --issue PlusOtherCommandSwitches-seeBelow), will store it here: /etc/etc/certs (certificates and configuration files for use in renewing certs)
- DNS Method: Really only works well if the Master Zone is on the same server that the Acme.sh Script is running on, otherwise use web method
The Easy Way of Installing acme.sh
- Just to stay within the world of OpenWRT go ahead and install acme.sh the usual way: opkg update, opkg install acme acme-dnsapi luci-app-acme (2.8.5 is the latest OpenWRT version)
- Download the latest version of the script from here: https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh(3.0.1 as of the writing of this article)
- Rename the /usr/lib/acme/acme directory to ...acme.ORIGINAL (or whatever name)
- Extract the contents of the download to /usr/lib/acme.install (version 3.0.1 or a more recent one)
- Create these directories (if they don't exist): /etc/acme/certs and /etc/acme/config (they can be anywhere, but following the OpenWRT paradigm, this is where they'd naturally seem to go)
- Run the following command from within the /usr/lib/acme.install directory (but first make sure the permissions on the acme.sh file are 755 ( chmod 755 acme.sh );
./acme.sh --install --home /usr/lib/acme --cert-home /etc/acme/certs --config-home /etc/acme/config --accountemail YourEmail@YourProvider.com --accountkey /etc/acme/account --useragent "" --log /var/log/acme.log...something similar to the below should be the result;
Installing to /usr/lib/acme
Installed to /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh
No profile is found, you will need to go into /usr/lib/acme to use acme.sh
Installing cron job
Good, bash is found, so change the shebang to use bash as preferred.
OKThe above command does the following;
- Creates the /usr/lib/acme Directory
- Copies all the script files to the above Directory
- Creates and "Environment File" ( acme.sh.env ) that contains the following lines;
- export LE_WORKING_DIR="/usr/lib/acme"
- export LE_CONFIG_HOME="/etc/acme/config"
- alias acme.sh="/usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --config-home '/etc/acme/config'"
- The "No profile is found..." message indicates that one must run the acme.sh file from within it's directory, IE: ./usr/lib/acme/acme.sh, because the environment file is there instead of being included in the current user's profile (which can be added of course, see below)
- Add the following to the /etc/profile file if desired (it will make is so the 'command' acme.sh can be run from anywhere, instead of using the entire path (./usr/lib/acme/acme.sh);
export LE_WORKING_DIR="/usr/lib/acme"
export LE_CONFIG_HOME="/etc/acme/config"
alias acme.sh="/usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --config-home '/etc/acme/config'"
...all done. Using the acme.sh 'command' (actually a script) will now work like any other command within OpenWRT.
Installation (of basic files) the OpenWRT way (Don't do it this way, do it the above 'easy way')
...this is just here for some detailed notes to let you know what's going on with where all the ACME stuff is located.
opkg update
opkg install acme acme-dnsapi luci-app-acme
Notes: The LuCI GUI is next to useless. It is an incomplete effort that isn't helpful. But thanks for trying. The run-acme script file included in the above installed packages appears to be used by the LuCI GUI as a 'wrapper' to make specific calls to the Acme.sh script. As of the writing of this, there appears to be no useful function of the acme service for OpenWRT.
Configuration (and more "installation") the OpenWRT way
Yes, the files have been installed, but according to the Acme.sh Documentation, one still needs to install it. The first part of the instructions on their site are completed by the OpenWRT OPKG utility. From there, only the ./acme.sh --install needs to be run (see below).
The below paths were chosen simply to fit into the OpenWRT path paradigm. The /etc/config/acme file is not modified by any of the above settings. The /etc/config/acme file is for the Acme LuCI GUI.
In order to run the below command and have it 'install' in an 'industry standard' (AKA, non-OpenWRT) manner, the OPKG installation directory needs to be moved (and the run-acme file needs to be copied too)
- mv /usr/lib/acme /usr/lib/acme.OPKG - Move the OpenWRT OPKG installation to another directory
- mkdir acme - Replace the acme directory
- cp /usr/lib/acme.OPKG/run-acme /usr/lib/acme/ - Copy the OpenWRT proprietary run-acme file to it's original directory and path so the LuCI GUI can access it.
Keep in mind when updating the Acme package(s) via OPKG, the acme.sh, run-acme, and dnsapi directory will be over written. But that's fine as the acme.sh.env file should be left in place. Run the below script from the above Moved / Named directory;
.acme.sh --install --home /usr/lib/acme --cert-home /etc/acme/certs --config-home /etc/acme/config --accountemail YourEmail@YourProvider.com --accountkey /etc/acme/account --useragent "" --log /var/log/acme.logIn the above command(s), the switches / settings / parameters are defined as follows;
- --home: The directory where the acme.sh script will be installed. Yes, the OpenWRT OPKG utility already installed the script here: /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh
- --config-home: The default directory where acme.sh writes / stores configuration information for each certificate that is obtained. This can be included with each certificate request configuration, meaning that each certificate request configuration can be stored in it's own directory. This setting in the LuCI GUI is defined as State directory.
- --cert-home: The default directory where the original copy of the certificate, key file, chain information, etc. will be stored. As with the certificate request configuration, this can be set with each certificate requested to a unique / different directory. This setting in the LuCI GUI is defined as State directory.
- --accountemail: An email address to receive notifications from Let's Encrypt about certificate updates, etc. and to configure account settings. Yup, Acme.sh, Certbot, etc. all set up accounts. Let's Encrypt information about accounts: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/account-id/ This setting in the LuCI GUI is defined as Account email.
- --accountkey: Path to store account information. This defaults to the same value as --config-home.
- --useragent: Acme.sh gives a useless circular definition for this parameter. Certbot's equivalent paramter is --user-agent, and is defined as follows: Set a custom user agent string for the client. User agent strings allow the CA to collect high level statistics about success rates by OS, plugin and use case, and to know when to deprecate support for past Python versions and flags. If you wish to hide this information from the Let's Encrypt server, set this to "". (default: CertbotACMEClient/1.4.0 (certbot; CentOS Linux 7 (Core)) Authenticator/XXX Installer/YYY (SUBCOMMAND; flags: FLAGS) Py/2.7.5).
- --log: The path to the log file. Useful, just in case something goes wrong, and put in a typical OpenWRT location for log files (remember the /var directory is a soft link to the /tmp directory, so information and log files stored there will not persist across reboots of a router.
The output of the command is as follows;
Installing to /usr/lib/acme
Installed to /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh
No profile is found, you will need to go into /usr/lib/acme to use acme.sh
Installing cron job
Good, bash is found, so change the shebang to use bash as preferred.
OKContents of the /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh.env file created by the 'installation';
export LE_WORKING_DIR="/usr/lib/acme"
export LE_CONFIG_HOME="/etc/acme/config"
alias acme.sh="/usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --config-home '/etc/acme/config'"The above information will need to be added as environment variables. In OpenWRT the file used for all profiles is /etc/profiles. By default, there's one Administrator User for OpenWRT and that's root. One could also modify the environment variables for just the root user in the root user's proflile. Either way, add the above lines to the file (in whatever scenario is chosen). Then log out and log back in. The acme.sh script should be available system wide for commands.
Functionality
Based on the script files, it appears the "ACME Service" can be triggered by CRON or a Start or Restart of the service.
Usage Via Command Line
Quick Notes
--cert-file: Path and File Name where certificate will be copied to (IE, the 'originals' are stored elsewhere)
--key-file: Path and File Name where key will be copied to (IE, the 'originals' are stored elsewhere)
--fullchain-file: Path and File Name where full-chain will be copied to (IE, the 'originals' are stored elsewhere)
--ca-file: Path and File Name where ca will be copied to (IE, the 'originals' are stored elsewhere)
--home
--cert-home
--config-home

Also see contents of acme.sh --help below.
Examples
- Good Example for 'covering all the bases' to explicitly state which directories are for what: "/usr/lib/acme"/acme.sh --cron --home "/usr/lib/acme" --accountconf "/etc/acme/config/account.conf" --config-home "/etc/acme/config" --cert-home "/etc/acme/config/certs"
- /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --revoke --domain WhatEverDomainName.xyz
- /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --info
- If environment variables are set as noted above (and below), it simply prints the contents of /etc/acme/config/account.conf
- export LE_WORKING_DIR="/usr/lib/acme"
- export LE_CONFIG_HOME="/etc/acme/config"
- If environment variables are set as noted above (and below), it simply prints the contents of /etc/acme/config/account.conf
- /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --list
- /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --issue --webroot /usr/share/apache2/htdocs --domain WhatEverDomainName.xyz --home /etc/acme --cert-home /etc/acme/certs --config-home /etc/acme/config
- Subject Alternative Names can be used too (IE, more than one Domain Name can be associated with a certificate):
- /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --issue --webroot /usr/share/apache2/htdocs --domain WhatEverDomainName.xyz,WhatEverOtherDomainName.xyz,Another.xyz,AndSoOn.xyz --home /etc/acme --cert-home /etc/acme/certs --config-home /etc/acme/config
- /usr/lib/acme/acme.sh --issue --webroot /usr/share/apache2/htdocs --domain WhatEverDomainName.xyz --domain WhatEverOtherDomainName.xyz --domain Another.xyz --domain AndSoOn.xyz --home /etc/acme --cert-home /etc/acme/certs --config-home /etc/acme/config
Certbot Comparisons
- Webroot Method
- Acme.sh: --webroot WhatEverPath
- Certbot: --webroot --webroot-path WhatEverPath (there are no parameters after --webroot, so it seems Acme.sh just combined the two commands since --webroot for Certbot implies --webroot-path would be needed, if there's no default)
- Get a Certificate
- Acme.sh --issue
- Certbot certonly (no double dashes)
- Obtaining a Certificate via DNS
- Acme.sh --issue --dns dns_nsupdate --domain WhatEverDomain
- Certbot certonly --dns-rfc2136 --dns-rfc2136-credentials WhatEverCredentialFile -d WhatEverDomain
- Closest equivalent to --dry-run Switch with Certbot
- acme.sh --issue -w /usr/share/apache2/htdocs/WhatEverDirectory/WhatEverSubdirectory/ -d WhatEverHostName.WhatEverDomainName.com --staging
Using DNS (BIND / Named) to Obtain a Certificate (with a Certbot comparison thrown in)
All of the below assume you are running your own fully functional BIND / Named server.
BIND / Named Stuff to do
First generate a "user name / password" (AKA nametypeand key)
- Acme.sh: dnssec-keygen -a hmac-sha512 -b 512 -n USER WhatEverFileOrKeyName (Thankfully, OpenWRT's dnssec-keygen cannot create SHA512 keys, so you'll need access to another Linux System like CentOS to generate the key file)
- Example: dnssec-keygen -a hmac-sha512 -b 512 -n USER ACME
- Look for a .key and .private file in the directory the dnssec-keygen command was run in.
- Copy the files to the bind / named directory, for OpenWRT it is /etc/bind OR be in that directory when the dnssec-keygen command is run
- From the WhatEverName.private file, copy the information after the Key: line, IE Key: aBunchOfNumbersAndLetters (without copying Key:)
- Add this information to the /etc/bind/named.conf file (default file location for many flavors of Linux)
key "acme" {
algorithm hmac-sha512;
secret "WhatEverTheStringOfTextIsInThePrivateFile";
};- Add this information to the specific zone that will be updated (If the below allow-update directive is in place and has an existing key, just add the additional key line);
zone "WhatEverZoneName.comORorgORnet" {
type master;
allow-update {
key acme;
};
file "/etc/bind/masters/WhatEverZoneName.comORorgORnet";
};Acme.sh Stuff to do

Certbot Help File (for comparison)
usage:
certbot [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...
Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates. By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate. The most common SUBCOMMANDS and flags are:
obtain, install, and renew certificates:
(default) run Obtain & install a certificate in your current webserver
certonly Obtain or renew a certificate, but do not install it
renew Renew all previously obtained certificates that are near expiry
enhance Add security enhancements to your existing configuration
-d DOMAINS Comma-separated list of domains to obtain a certificate for
--apache Use the Apache plugin for authentication & installation
--standalone Run a standalone webserver for authentication
(the certbot nginx plugin is not installed)
--webroot Place files in a server's webroot folder for authentication
--manual Obtain certificates interactively, or using shell script hooks
-n Run non-interactively
--test-cert Obtain a test certificate from a staging server
--dry-run Test "renew" or "certonly" without saving any certificates to disk
manage certificates:
certificates Display information about certificates you have from Certbot
revoke Revoke a certificate (supply --cert-name or --cert-path)
delete Delete a certificate (supply --cert-name)
manage your account:
register Create an ACME account
unregister Deactivate an ACME account
update_account Update an ACME account
--agree-tos Agree to the ACME server's Subscriber Agreement
-m EMAIL Email address for important account notifications
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c CONFIG_FILE, --config CONFIG_FILE
path to config file (default: /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini
and ~/.config/letsencrypt/cli.ini)
-v, --verbose This flag can be used multiple times to incrementally
increase the verbosity of output, e.g. -vvv. (default:
-2)
--max-log-backups MAX_LOG_BACKUPS
Specifies the maximum number of backup logs that
should be kept by Certbot's built in log rotation.
Setting this flag to 0 disables log rotation entirely,
causing Certbot to always append to the same log file.
(default: 1000)
-n, --non-interactive, --noninteractive
Run without ever asking for user input. This may
require additional command line flags; the client will
try to explain which ones are required if it finds one
missing (default: False)
--force-interactive Force Certbot to be interactive even if it detects
it's not being run in a terminal. This flag cannot be
used with the renew subcommand. (default: False)
-d DOMAIN, --domains DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
Domain names to apply. For multiple domains you can
use multiple -d flags or enter a comma separated list
of domains as a parameter. The first domain provided
will be the subject CN of the certificate, and all
domains will be Subject Alternative Names on the
certificate. The first domain will also be used in
some software user interfaces and as the file paths
for the certificate and related material unless
otherwise specified or you already have a certificate
with the same name. In the case of a name collision it
will append a number like 0001 to the file path name.
(default: Ask)
--eab-kid EAB_KID Key Identifier for External Account Binding (default:
None)
--eab-hmac-key EAB_HMAC_KEY
HMAC key for External Account Binding (default: None)
--cert-name CERTNAME Certificate name to apply. This name is used by
Certbot for housekeeping and in file paths; it doesn't
affect the content of the certificate itself. To see
certificate names, run 'certbot certificates'. When
creating a new certificate, specifies the new
certificate's name. (default: the first provided
domain or the name of an existing certificate on your
system for the same domains)
--dry-run Perform a test run of the client, obtaining test
(invalid) certificates but not saving them to disk.
This can currently only be used with the 'certonly'
and 'renew' subcommands. Note: Although --dry-run
tries to avoid making any persistent changes on a
system, it is not completely side-effect free: if used
with webserver authenticator plugins like apache and
nginx, it makes and then reverts temporary config
changes in order to obtain test certificates, and
reloads webservers to deploy and then roll back those
changes. It also calls --pre-hook and --post-hook
commands if they are defined because they may be
necessary to accurately simulate renewal. --deploy-
hook commands are not called. (default: False)
--debug-challenges After setting up challenges, wait for user input
before submitting to CA (default: False)
--preferred-challenges PREF_CHALLS
A sorted, comma delimited list of the preferred
challenge to use during authorization with the most
preferred challenge listed first (Eg, "dns" or
"http,dns"). Not all plugins support all challenges.
See https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#plugins
for details. ACME Challenges are versioned, but if you
pick "http" rather than "http-01", Certbot will select
the latest version automatically. (default: [])
--user-agent USER_AGENT
Set a custom user agent string for the client. User
agent strings allow the CA to collect high level
statistics about success rates by OS, plugin and use
case, and to know when to deprecate support for past
Python versions and flags. If you wish to hide this
information from the Let's Encrypt server, set this to
"". (default: CertbotACMEClient/1.4.0 (certbot; CentOS
Linux 7 (Core)) Authenticator/XXX Installer/YYY
(SUBCOMMAND; flags: FLAGS) Py/2.7.5). The flags
encoded in the user agent are: --duplicate, --force-
renew, --allow-subset-of-names, -n, and whether any
hooks are set.
--user-agent-comment USER_AGENT_COMMENT
Add a comment to the default user agent string. May be
used when repackaging Certbot or calling it from
another tool to allow additional statistical data to
be collected. Ignored if --user-agent is set.
(Example: Foo-Wrapper/1.0) (default: None)
automation:
Flags for automating execution & other tweaks
--keep-until-expiring, --keep, --reinstall
If the requested certificate matches an existing
certificate, always keep the existing one until it is
due for renewal (for the 'run' subcommand this means
reinstall the existing certificate). (default: Ask)
--expand If an existing certificate is a strict subset of the
requested names, always expand and replace it with the
additional names. (default: Ask)
--version show program's version number and exit
--force-renewal, --renew-by-default
If a certificate already exists for the requested
domains, renew it now, regardless of whether it is
near expiry. (Often --keep-until-expiring is more
appropriate). Also implies --expand. (default: False)
--renew-with-new-domains
If a certificate already exists for the requested
certificate name but does not match the requested
domains, renew it now, regardless of whether it is
near expiry. (default: False)
--reuse-key When renewing, use the same private key as the
existing certificate. (default: False)
--allow-subset-of-names
When performing domain validation, do not consider it
a failure if authorizations can not be obtained for a
strict subset of the requested domains. This may be
useful for allowing renewals for multiple domains to
succeed even if some domains no longer point at this
system. This option cannot be used with --csr.

from upgrading itself to newer released versions
(default: Upgrade automatically)
--no-bootstrap (certbot-auto only) prevent the certbot-auto script
from installing OS-level dependencies (default: Prompt
to install OS-wide dependencies, but exit if the user
says 'No')

manage:
Various subcommands and flags are available for managing your
certificates:
certificates List certificates managed by Certbot
delete Clean up all files related to a certificate
renew Renew all certificates (or one specified with --cert-
name)
revoke Revoke a certificate specified with --cert-path or
--cert-name
update_symlinks Recreate symlinks in your /etc/letsencrypt/live/
directory
run:
Options for obtaining & installing certificates
certonly:
Options for modifying how a certificate is obtained
--csr CSR Path to a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) in DER or
PEM format. Currently --csr only works with the
'certonly' subcommand. (default: None)
renew:
The 'renew' subcommand will attempt to renew all certificates (or more
precisely, certificate lineages) you have previously obtained if they are
close to expiry, and print a summary of the results. By default, 'renew'
will reuse the options used to create obtain or most recently successfully
renew each certificate lineage. You can try it with `--dry-run` first. For
more fine-grained control, you can renew individual lineages with the
`certonly` subcommand. Hooks are available to run commands before and
after renewal; see https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#renewal for
more information on these.
--pre-hook PRE_HOOK Command to be run in a shell before obtaining any
certificates. Intended primarily for renewal, where it
can be used to temporarily shut down a webserver that
might conflict with the standalone plugin. This will
only be called if a certificate is actually to be
obtained/renewed. When renewing several certificates
that have identical pre-hooks, only the first will be
executed. (default: None)
--post-hook POST_HOOK
Command to be run in a shell after attempting to
obtain/renew certificates. Can be used to deploy
renewed certificates, or to restart any servers that
were stopped by --pre-hook. This is only run if an
attempt was made to obtain/renew a certificate. If
multiple renewed certificates have identical post-
hooks, only one will be run. (default: None)
--deploy-hook DEPLOY_HOOK
Command to be run in a shell once for each
successfully issued certificate. For this command, the
shell variable $RENEWED_LINEAGE will point to the
config live subdirectory (for example,
"/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com") containing the
new certificates and keys; the shell variable
$RENEWED_DOMAINS will contain a space-delimited list
of renewed certificate domains (for example,
"example.com www.example.com" (default: None)
--disable-hook-validation
Ordinarily the commands specified for --pre-hook
/--post-hook/--deploy-hook will be checked for
validity, to see if the programs being run are in the
$PATH, so that mistakes can be caught early, even when
the hooks aren't being run just yet. The validation is
rather simplistic and fails if you use more advanced
shell constructs, so you can use this switch to
disable it. (default: False)
--no-directory-hooks Disable running executables found in Certbot's hook
directories during renewal. (default: False)
--disable-renew-updates
Disable automatic updates to your server configuration
that would otherwise be done by the selected installer
plugin, and triggered when the user executes "certbot
renew", regardless of if the certificate is renewed.
This setting does not apply to important TLS
configuration updates. (default: False)
--no-autorenew Disable auto renewal of certificates. (default: True)

unspecified)
--delete-after-revoke
Delete certificates after revoking them, along with
all previous and later versions of those certificates.
(default: None)
--no-delete-after-revoke
Do not delete certificates after revoking them. This
option should be used with caution because the 'renew'
subcommand will attempt to renew undeleted revoked
certificates. (default: None)
register:
Options for account registration
--register-unsafely-without-email
Specifying this flag enables registering an account
with no email address. This is strongly discouraged,
because in the event of key loss or account compromise
you will irrevocably lose access to your account. You
will also be unable to receive notice about impending
expiration or revocation of your certificates. Updates
to the Subscriber Agreement will still affect you, and
will be effective 14 days after posting an update to
the web site. (default: False)
-m EMAIL, --email EMAIL
Email used for registration and recovery contact. Use
comma to register multiple emails, ex:
u1@example.com,u2@example.com. (default: Ask).
--eff-email Share your e-mail address with EFF (default: None)

requested when performing an HTTP-01 challenge. An additional cleanup
script can also be provided and can use the additional variable
$CERTBOT_AUTH_OUTPUT which contains the stdout output from the auth
script.For both authenticator and cleanup script, on HTTP-01 and DNS-01
challenges,$CERTBOT_REMAINING_CHALLENGES will be equal to the number of
challenges that remain after the current one, and $CERTBOT_ALL_DOMAINS
