From SME Server
Jump to navigationJump to search→Installation
Multiple clients are available for the Letsencrypt services. The official client from letsencrypt.org is quite full-featured, but has a number of dependencies that it needs to install. It also requires a newer version of Python than is included with a standard SME Server installation. Due to this complexity, and the lack of compatibility with SME 8.x, this document describes installation and use of ''[https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated dehydrated]'', an alternative client implemented as a BASH shell script.

The script has now been imported into the contribs repository and can be installed as follows:
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install dehydrated
By itself the script will do absolutely nothing and requires configuration files to be created and the script called either manually or via cron.
=== Git install of latest version ===
If you need the latest version of the script then you can remove the contrib above and manually install as follows:
Begin by installing git:
yum install git
yum install git
git clone https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated
git clone https://github.com/lukas2511/dehydrated
mv dehydrated/dehydrated /usr/local/bin/
