Option to generate and download certificates
-
Um, Cloudron already does exactly that for all domains you add.
Or is it that you'd like to be able to easily do it for domain you don't add to Cloudron or something?
-
im' talking about the dmainsi don't have. and another problem with cloudron is it doesn't give you like the pem or the certificate, in case you want to use it with another server that cant be added to cloudron for whatever reason.
also, i know that PFSense was able to accomplish this task, of giving domains certificates, so cloudron should be able to as well -

Cloudron gives you all certs in
/home/yellowtent/platformdata/nginx/cert/you can use them for something else.@adison said in app request:

This sentence confuses me a lot.
Do you want to use your own cert with Cloudron?
That feature exists, when setting up or editing a domain inAdvanced settingsā¦you can upload your own cert and key.Are you looking for a central cert management toll?
I am a bit confused by all this.
Also instead of certbot maybe look at acme.sh and acmemgr.shIf could clarify your use case a little more and help me understand I might be able to give better reply.

@adison not sure if this is applicable for you, but you could also add an application proxy within Cloudron for external applications, not hosted on Cloudron itself. This would take care of domain setup and certificates just like for other Cloudron apps.
-
my usecase is that i want to generate certificates, but unfortunately it takes a long time on the normal command line. wile it is true cloudron can do it, the main problem is that it cant generate certificates that cannot use cloudron, in other words, certificates you can use outside of cloudron. and as for app proxies, i don't know how to do that. but my point is, it would be nice to have some kind of acme application that can generate certificates for you without having to use the command line.

I'm also confused.
I thought the certificate is based on the domain, so if the app is elsewhere, how does doing it on Cloudron help, unless there is some proxy process.
Cloudron system is for managing apps on Cloudron, should it really be extended to managing external apps ?
But maybe there's a clever app which could do this.
Happy to be educated, but at this point I don't understand the use case clearly, or how it could be implemented. -
@adison App Proxy is essentially what I think you want. Please see https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/#app-proxy . With App Proxy, Cloudron manages the certs entirely . Let's Encrypt certs are only valid for 3 months and on Cloudron it's renewed every 2 months, so this is quite a pain for you to remember this every 2 months to manually download cert and install it somewhere else. With App Proxy, Cloudron will maintain the cert entirely.

its fine, its blocked to the public anyway and requires IP port WhiteListing. https://3.224.106.140:443
