Certs_Package installation - SomethingWithHorizons/mailserver GitHub Wiki

Install the packages required to create and manage the wildcard certificates.

1. Install pip to have a package manager for python (like apt for Debian, npm for Nodejs, etc):

   apt install curl python-pip
   

2. Install lexicon to enable DNS registar communication:

   pip install dns-lexicon
   

3. Install provider specific dependencies should this be necessary.

   Refer to your DNS provider their specifics. E.g. (for TransIP):

   pip install dns-lexicon[transip]
   

4. Download dehydrated to enable Letsencrypt certificate management:

   curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lukas2511/dehydrated/master/dehydrated -o /usr/local/bin/dehydrated
   chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/dehydrated
   

   :information_source: Dehydraded is a more versatile alternative to, the more common, Certbot.
