salt.modules.acme module¶

ACME / Let's Encrypt module¶

This module currently looks for certbot script in the $PATH as - certbot, - lestsencrypt, - certbot-auto, - letsencrypt-auto eventually falls back to /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto

Most parameters will fall back to cli.ini defaults if None is given.
