Generate self-signed SSL certs for docker client <— HTTPS —> daemon

docker-ssl-cert-generate

#! /bin/bash

# HEADS UP! Make sure to use '*' or a valid hostname for the FDQN prompt

echo 01 > ca.srl
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca-key.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca-key.pem -out ca.pem

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server-key.pem
openssl req -new -key server-key.pem -out server.csr

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -CA ca.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -out server-cert.pem

openssl genrsa -des3 -out client-key.pem
openssl req -new -key client-key.pem -out client.csr

echo extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth > extfile.cnf

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA ca.pem -CAkey ca-key.pem -out client-cert.pem -extfile extfile.cnf

openssl rsa -in server-key.pem -out server-key.pem
openssl rsa -in client-key.pem -out client-key.pem

# server
# sudo docker -d --tlsverify --tlscacert=ca.pem --tlscert=server-cert.pem --tlskey=server-key.pem -H=0.0.0.0:4243

# client -- note that this uses --tls instead of --tlsverify, which I had trouble with 
# docker --tls --tlscacert=ca.pem --tlscert=client-cert.pem --tlskey=client-key.pem -H=dns-name-of-docker-host:4243

Add Overwrite to Certificate to prevent issues in case of multiple installs (like in my case) :(

THANKS! 🍨

@cameron do you know how to generate a cert thats valid for all IPs as well as * hostname?
