Top 3 Shell acme-protocol Projects

acme-protocol

  1. acme.sh

    A pure Unix shell script ACME client for SSL / TLS certificate automation

    Project mention: TLS certificates for internal services done right | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-09

    > I use the acme dns-1 challenge on my public domain.

    See also perhaps DNS aliasing in case you are not able to dynamically update your 'primary' domain, but can update a secondary or sub-domain:

    * https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/DNS-alias-mo...

    So if "example.com" is control by Corporate IT, and they don't want 'random' folks fiddling with it, then you can create a "dnsauth.example.com" and point the dns-1 challenge record from "…foo.example.com" to "foo.dnsauth.example.com" (or a completely different domain, like "…example.net").

    There are DNS server written strictly focused on this use case:

    * https://github.com/acme-dns/acme-dns

    Also code that handles a bunch of DNS provider APIs so you don't have to roll your own for ACME client hooks:

    * https://github.com/dns-lexicon/dns-lexicon

  3. acme-companion

    Automated ACME SSL certificate generation for nginx-proxy

    Project mention: Setting up nginx as a reverse proxy | dev.to | 2026-09-01

    Plain HTTP is not enough for anything public, so we add acme-companion, which pairs with nginx-proxy and handles Let's Encrypt certificates.

  4. dehydrated-bigip-ansible

    Ansible based hooks for dehydrated to enable ACME certificate automation for F5 BIG-IP systems
