Automate Certificate Update on A Small Orange with Let’s Encrypt

  1. Generate SSL cert and key if not already done: /home/yourusername/.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue -d yoursite.com -d www.yoursite.com -d mail.yoursite.com -w /home/yourusername/yoursitefolder. Note the .crt file and copy the path/filename for future use.

  2. Manually add SSL via A Small Orange cPanel, just this first time.

  3. Find corresponding .crt file in /home/yourusername/ssl/certs/ and copy path/filename. Do the same with .key file.

Add following to a cron job:

  1. Renew cert /home/yourusername/.acme.sh/acme.sh --renew -d yoursite.com -d www.yoursite.com -d mail.yoursite.com --force

  2. Copy file contents of Let's Encrypt .cer file to A Small Orange .crt file cat /home/yourusername/.acme.sh/yoursite.com/yoursite.com.cer > yoursite_com_c7fa3_ddd19_1620859608_a307fe1e4b125b78bf336b0344e03369.crt

  3. Copy file contents of Let's Encrypt .key file to A Small Orange .key file cat /home/yourusername/.acme.sh/yoursite.com/yoursite.com.key > /home/yourusername/ssl/keys/dc6e6_e57d1_019677b07e98fdc03442e486b15b37f2.key

  4. Cry because you still have to go to cPanel and click Update Certificate
