certbot.interfaces

Certbot client interfaces.

class certbot.interfaces.AccountStorage[source]

Bases: object

Accounts storage interface.

find_all()[source]

Find all accounts.

Returns:All found accounts.
Return type:list
load(account_id)[source]

Load an account by its id.

Raises:
save(account, client)[source]

Save account.

Raises:AccountStorageError – if account could not be saved
interface certbot.interfaces.IPluginFactory[source]

IPlugin factory.

Objects providing this interface will be called without satisfying any entry point “extras” (extra dependencies) you might have defined for your plugin, e.g (excerpt from setup.py script):

setup(
    ...
    entry_points={
        'certbot.plugins': [
            'name=example_project.plugin[plugin_deps]',
        ],
    },
    extras_require={
        'plugin_deps': ['dep1', 'dep2'],
    }
)

Therefore, make sure such objects are importable and usable without extras. This is necessary, because CLI does the following operations (in order):

description

Short plugin description

__call__(config, name)

Create new IPlugin.

Parameters:
  • config (IConfig) – Configuration.
  • name (str) – Unique plugin name.
inject_parser_options(parser, name)

Inject argument parser options (flags).

1. Be nice and prepend all options and destinations with option_namespace and dest_namespace.

2. Inject options (flags) only. Positional arguments are not allowed, as this would break the CLI.

Parameters:
  • parser (ArgumentParser) – (Almost) top-level CLI parser.
  • name (str) – Unique plugin name.
interface certbot.interfaces.IPlugin[source]

Certbot plugin.

prepare()

Prepare the plugin.

Finish up any additional initialization.

Raises:
  • PluginError – when full initialization cannot be completed.
  • MisconfigurationError – when full initialization cannot be completed. Plugin will be displayed on a list of available plugins.
  • NoInstallationError – when the necessary programs/files cannot be located. Plugin will NOT be displayed on a list of available plugins.
  • NotSupportedError – when the installation is recognized, but the version is not currently supported.
more_info()

Human-readable string to help the user.

Should describe the steps taken and any relevant info to help the user decide which plugin to use.

Rtype str:
interface certbot.interfaces.IAuthenticator[source]

Extends: certbot.interfaces.IPlugin

Generic Certbot Authenticator.

Class represents all possible tools processes that have the ability to perform challenges and attain a certificate.

get_chall_pref(domain)

Return collections.Iterable of challenge preferences.

Parameters:domain (str) – Domain for which challenge preferences are sought.
Returns:collections.Iterable of challenge types (subclasses of acme.challenges.Challenge) with the most preferred challenges first. If a type is not specified, it means the Authenticator cannot perform the challenge.
Return type:collections.Iterable
perform(achalls)

Perform the given challenge.

Parameters:achalls (list) – Non-empty (guaranteed) list of AnnotatedChallenge instances, such that it contains types found within get_chall_pref() only.
Returns:collections.Iterable of ACME ChallengeResponse instances or if the Challenge cannot be fulfilled then:
None
Authenticator can perform challenge, but not at this time.
False
Authenticator will never be able to perform (error).
Return type:collections.Iterable of acme.challenges.ChallengeResponse, where responses are required to be returned in the same order as corresponding input challenges
Raises:PluginError – If challenges cannot be performed
cleanup(achalls)

Revert changes and shutdown after challenges complete.

This method should be able to revert all changes made by perform, even if perform exited abnormally.

Parameters:achalls (list) – Non-empty (guaranteed) list of AnnotatedChallenge instances, a subset of those previously passed to perform().
Raises:PluginError – if original configuration cannot be restored
interface certbot.interfaces.IConfig[source]

Certbot user-supplied configuration.

Warning

The values stored in the configuration have not been filtered, stripped or sanitized.

server

ACME Directory Resource URI.

email

Email used for registration and recovery contact. (default: Ask)

rsa_key_size

Size of the RSA key.

must_staple

Adds the OCSP Must Staple extension to the certificate. Autoconfigures OCSP Stapling for supported setups (Apache version >= 2.3.3 ).

config_dir

Configuration directory.

work_dir

Working directory.

accounts_dir

Directory where all account information is stored.

backup_dir

Configuration backups directory.

csr_dir

Directory where newly generated Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) are saved.

in_progress_dir

Directory used before a permanent checkpoint is finalized.

key_dir

Keys storage.

temp_checkpoint_dir

Temporary checkpoint directory.

no_verify_ssl

Disable verification of the ACME server’s certificate.

tls_sni_01_port

Port used during tls-sni-01 challenge. This only affects the port Certbot listens on. A conforming ACME server will still attempt to connect on port 443.

tls_sni_01_address

The address the server listens to during tls-sni-01 challenge.

http01_port

Port used in the http-01 challenge. This only affects the port Certbot listens on. A conforming ACME server will still attempt to connect on port 80.

The address the server listens to during http-01 challenge.

pref_challs

Sorted user specified preferred challengestype strings with the most preferred challenge listed first

allow_subset_of_names

When performing domain validation, do not consider it a failure if authorizations can not be obtained for a strict subset of the requested domains. This may be useful for allowing renewals for multiple domains to succeed even if some domains no longer point at this system. This is a boolean

strict_permissions

Require that all configuration files are owned by the current user; only needed if your config is somewhere unsafe like /tmp/.This is a boolean

interface certbot.interfaces.IInstaller[source]

Extends: certbot.interfaces.IPlugin

Generic Certbot Installer Interface.

Represents any server that an X509 certificate can be placed.

It is assumed that save() is the only method that finalizes a checkpoint. This is important to ensure that checkpoints are restored in a consistent manner if requested by the user or in case of an error.

Using certbot.reverter.Reverter to implement checkpoints, rollback, and recovery can dramatically simplify plugin development.

get_all_names()

Returns all names that may be authenticated.

Return type:collections.Iterable of str
deploy_cert(domain, cert_path, key_path, chain_path, fullchain_path)

Deploy certificate.

Parameters:

  • fullchain_path (str) – absolute path to the certificate fullchain file (cert plus chain)
Raises:

PluginError – when cert cannot be deployed

Perform a configuration enhancement.

Parameters:
  • domain (str) – domain for which to provide enhancement
  • enhancement (str) – An enhancement as defined in ENHANCEMENTS
  • options – Flexible options parameter for enhancement. Check documentation of ENHANCEMENTS for expected options for each enhancement.
Raises:

PluginError – If Enhancement is not supported, or if an error occurs during the enhancement.

supported_enhancements()

Returns:supported enhancements which should be a subset of ENHANCEMENTS
Return type:collections.Iterable of str
save(title=None, temporary=False)

Saves all changes to the configuration files.

Both title and temporary are needed because a save may be intended to be permanent, but the save is not ready to be a full checkpoint.

It is assumed that at most one checkpoint is finalized by this method. Additionally, if an exception is raised, it is assumed a new checkpoint was not finalized.

Parameters:
  • title (str) – The title of the save. If a title is given, the configuration will be saved as a new checkpoint and put in a timestamped directory. title has no effect if temporary is true.
  • temporary (bool) – Indicates whether the changes made will be quickly reversed in the future (challenges)
Raises:

PluginError – when save is unsuccessful

rollback_checkpoints(rollback=1)

Revert rollback number of configuration checkpoints.

Raises:PluginError – when configuration cannot be fully reverted
recovery_routine()

Revert configuration to most recent finalized checkpoint.

Remove all changes (temporary and permanent) that have not been finalized. This is useful to protect against crashes and other execution interruptions.

Raises:errors.PluginError – If unable to recover the configuration
view_config_changes()

Display all of the LE config changes.

Raises:PluginError – when config changes cannot be parsed
config_test()

Make sure the configuration is valid.

Raises:MisconfigurationError – when the config is not in a usable state
restart()
