# Docker-compose with Let's Encrypt: TLS Challenge
|
|
|
|
This guide aims to demonstrate how to create a certificate with the Let's Encrypt TLS challenge to use https on a simple service exposed with Traefik.
|
|
Please also read the [basic example](../basic-example/) for details on how to expose such a service.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisite
|
|
|
|
For the TLS challenge you will need:
|
|
|
|
- A publicly accessible host allowing connections on port `443` with docker & docker-compose installed.
|
|
- A DNS record with the domain you want to expose pointing to this host.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
- Create a `docker-compose.yml` on your remote server with the following content:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
--8<-- "content/user-guides/docker-compose/acme-tls/docker-compose.yml"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Replace `postmaster@example.com` by your **own email** within the `certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.email` command line argument of the `traefik` service.
|
|
- Replace `whoami.example.com` by your **own domain** within the `traefik.http.routers.whoami.rule` label of the `whoami` service.
|
|
- Optionally uncomment the following lines if you want to test/debug:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
#- "--log.level=DEBUG"
|
|
#- "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.caserver=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Run `docker compose up -d` within the folder where you created the previous file.
|
|
- Wait a bit and visit `https://your_own_domain` to confirm everything went fine.
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
|
|
If you uncommented the `acme.caserver` line, you will get an SSL error, but if you display the certificate and see it was emitted by `Fake LE Intermediate X1` then it means all is good.
|
|
(It is the staging environment intermediate certificate used by Let's Encrypt).
|
|
You can now safely comment the `acme.caserver` line, remove the `letsencrypt/acme.json` file and restart Traefik to issue a valid certificate.
|
|
|
|
## Explanation
|
|
|
|
What changed between the basic example:
|
|
|
|
- We replace the `web` entry point by one for the https traffic:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
command:
|
|
# Traefik will listen to incoming request on the port 443 (https)
|
|
- "--entryPoints.websecure.address=:443"
|
|
ports:
|
|
- "443:443"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- We configure the TLS Let's Encrypt challenge:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
command:
|
|
# Enable a tls challenge named "myresolver"
|
|
- "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.tlschallenge=true"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- We add a volume to store our certificates:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
volumes:
|
|
# Create a letsencrypt dir within the folder where the docker-compose file is
|
|
- "./letsencrypt:/letsencrypt"
|
|
|
|
command:
|
|
# Tell to store the certificate on a path under our volume
|
|
- "--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.acme.storage=/letsencrypt/acme.json"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- We configure the `whoami` service to tell Traefik to use the certificate resolver named `myresolver` we just configured:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
labels:
|
|
# Uses the Host rule to define which certificate to issue
|
|
- "traefik.http.routers.whoami.tls.certresolver=myresolver"
|
|
```
