or

npm install @onehilltech/blueprint-greenlock --save

Getting Started

Server Configuration

Update the server configuration to use the GreenlockTM protocol.

// app/configs/server.js

module.exports = {
  connections : {
    greenlock : { 
      protocol: 'greenlock',
      
      // optional configuration for redirect-https
      redirect: {
        
      },
      
      // optional configuration for tls
      tls: { 
        
      },
      
      // optional configuration for https connection
      https: {
        
      }
    },
  }
};

Basic Approvals

Create the GreenlockTM configuration file.

// app/configs/greenlock.js

module.exports = {
  /// Your list of domains supported by application.
  domains: ['greenlock.onehilltech.com'],
  
  /// Your contact email address.
  email: 'contact@onehilltech.com',
  
  /// Use basic strategy for approving domains.
  approveDomains: 'basic'
};

Custom Approvals

The basic configuration works well when you have one or more domains that all have the same configuration and approval. If you are in a situation where different domains have different configurations and/or approvals then you need to implement a custom configuration.

// app/greenlock/approve-domains.js

const { ApproveDomains } = require ('@onehilltech/blueprint-greenlock');

/**
 * A custom implementation for approving domains. 
 */
module.exports = ApproveDomains.extend ({
  approveDomains (options, certs) {
    // maybe lookup options.domain in a database.
  } 
});

The custom configuration must be located in app/greenlock/approve-domains. Otherwise the module will not be able to locate it.

The custom domain approval class must implement approveDomains. This method must return { options, certs }, or a Promise that resolves { options, certs }. If the domain is not approved, then this method must return Promise.reject (new Error (...)).

Next, update the greenlock configuration to use custom domain approvals.

// app/configs/greenlock.js

module.exports = {
  /// Use custom strategy for approving domains.
  approveDomains: 'custom'
};

Happy Coding!
