Nginx 通过 certbot 为网站自动配置 SSL 证书并续期
目录
一、背景知识
1.1、http 和 https 是什么？
简单来说，http 是一个传输网页内容的协议，比如你看到的 http 开头的网站 http://www.163.com ，其网页上的文字、图片、 CSS 、 JS 等文件都是通过 http 协议传输到我们的浏览器，然后被我们看到。
而 https 可以理解为“ HTTP over SSL/TLS ”，好端端的 http 为什么需要“ over SSL/TLS ”呢，因为 http 是明文传输的，通过 http 协议传输的内容很容易被偷看和篡改，为了安全（你肯定不想被人偷看或者篡改网页内容吧，比如网站银行密码什么的。）就为 http 协议再加上了一层 SSL/TLS 安全协议，所以就有了 https 。
1.2、SSL/TLS 是什么？
“ HTTP over SSL/TLS ”字面意思就是带”安全套接层”的 http 协议，内心纯洁的同学也可以理解为“带安全套的 http ”，因为带了安全套，所以当然会比较安全。其中 SSL 是“ Secure Sockets Layer ” 的缩写，是“安全套接层”的意思。 TLS 是 “Transport Layer Security” 的缩写，是 ” 传输层安全协议 ” 的意思。 SSL 和 TLS 是同一个东西的不同阶段，理解为同一个东西也行，都是安全协议就对了。
1.3、为什么要部署 https？
说到底，就是 https 更安全。甚至为了安全，一个专业可靠的网站， https 是必须的。 Firefox 和 Chrome 都计划将没有配置 SSL 加密的 http 网站标记为不安全（貌似 Firefox 50 已经这么干了），目前它们也正在联合其他相关的基金会与公司推动整个互联网 https 化，现在大家访问的一些主要的网站。如 Google 多年前就已经全部启用 https ，国内的淘宝、搜狗、知乎、百度等等也全面 https 了。甚至 Google 的搜索结果也正在给予 https 的网站更高的排名和优先收录权。
1.4、怎么部署 https 呢？
你只需要有一张被信任的 CA （ Certificate Authority ）也就是证书授权中心颁发的 SSL 安全证书，并且将它部署到你的网站服务器上。一旦部署成功后，当用户访问你的网站时，浏览器会在显示的网址前加一把小绿锁，表明这个网站是安全的，当然同时你也会看到网址前的前缀变成了 https ，不再是 http 了。
1.5、怎么获得 SSL 安全证书呢？
理论上，我们自己也可以签发 SSL 安全证书，但是我们自己签发的安全证书不会被主流的浏览器信任，所以我们需要被信任的证书授权中心（ CA ）签发的安全证书。而一般的 SSL 安全证书签发服务都比较贵，比如 Godaddy 、 GlobalSign 等机构签发的证书一般都需要20美金一年甚至更贵，不过为了加快推广 https 的普及， EEF 电子前哨基金会、 Mozilla 基金会和美国密歇根大学成立了一个公益组织叫 ISRG （ Internet Security Research Group ），这个组织从 2015 年开始推出了 Let’s Encrypt 免费证书。这个免费证书不仅免费，而且还相当好用，所以我们就可以利用 Let’s Encrypt 提供的免费证书部署 https 了。那么怎么获得 Let’s Encrypt 安全证书，并且将它部署在自己的网站服务器上呢？这就是这篇文章要讲的内容了。
二、Let’s Encrypt 及 Certbot 简介
前面已经介绍过， Let’s Encrypt 是 一个叫 ISRG （ Internet Security Research Group ，互联网安全研究小组）的组织推出的免费安全证书计划。参与这个计划的组织和公司可以说是互联网顶顶重要的先驱，除了前文提到的三个牛气哄哄的发起单位外，后来又有思科（全球网络设备制造商执牛耳者）、 Akamai 加入，甚至连 Linux 基金会也加入了合作，这些大牌组织的加入保证了这个项目的可信度和可持续性。
后来 ISRG 的发起者 EFF （电子前哨基金会）为 Let’s Encrypt 项目发布了一个官方的客户端 Certbot ，利用它可以完全自动化的获取、部署和更新安全证书。这真是非常容易、方便呀，所以我们就可以直接使用官方客户端，不需要再使用第三方的工具了。虽然第三方工具也可以使用，但是官方工具更权威，风险也更小，而且遇到问题也更容易解决，毕竟有官方的支持。何况 Certbot 确实非常方便，也比所有的第三方工具都更方便，何乐而不用呢?
2.1、Authenticators 和 Installers
Certbot 支持两种类型的 plugin，一种是用来获取和安装证书的，成为称为 Authenticators；另外一种是用来安装证书的，称为 Installers。有的 plugin 支持一种，有的两种都支持，如 nginx。
Authenticators plugin 使用 certonly 命令来获取证书，而 Installers plugin 使用install命令来安装证书。
2.2、plugin 说明
下面列举几个常用的 plugin 作简要说明：
- Webroot：本地有运行 webserver 并且有能力修改其配置，就可以用该种方式（创建隐藏文件.well-known），获取证书时无需暂停 webserver 的运行。
- Standalone：服务器未运行 webserver 可以使用该方式，要保持 80 或 443 端口开放。
- Nginx：自动获取和安装证书（自动修改配置文件）。
2.3、安装 certbot
Certbot 的官方网站是 https://certbot.eff.org/ ，打开这个链接选择自己使用的 web server 和操作系统，EFF 官方会给出详细的使用方法，以下以本网站域名（ bbs.wzlinux.com ）举例。
我们的系统环境为 CentOS 7，Web 服务器为 epel 源中的 nginx，只是为了掩饰安装证书，没有做什么网页，大家了解这个过程为主，我们使用下面命令进行安装 certbot。
yum install certbot python2-certbot-nginx
三、Certbot 为 nginx 自动获取安装证书
3.1、生成证书
我们在使用 certbot 生成证书之前，要把域名解析到当前的服务器，使用令生certbot --nginx成证书，并且会帮我们自动配置到 nginx 上面，过程中需要我们输入邮箱地址。
[root@lnmp-1 ~]# certbot --nginx

按照提示输入自己的信息即可，如果希望自己手动配置 nginx 证书，可以使用下面的命令。
certbot --nginx certonly
3.2、配置证书
目前已经自动帮我们配置证书了，我们可以看下配置的形式，后续可以自己配置。
server {
server_name bbs.wzlinux.com; # managed by Certbot
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
# Load configuration files for the default server block.
include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;
location / {
}
error_page 404 /404.html;
location = /40x.html {
}
error_page 500 502 503 504 /50x.html;
location = /50x.html {
}
listen [::]:443 ssl ipv6only=on; # managed by Certbot
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/bbs.wzlinux.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/bbs.wzlinux.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = bbs.wzlinux.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name bbs.wzlinux.com;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
3.3、更新证书
既然已经按照好了，我们可以查看一下证书的安装情况。
出于安全策略， Let’s Encrypt 签发的证书有效期只有 90 天，所以需要每隔三个月就要更新一次安全证书，虽然有点麻烦，但是为了网络安全，这是值得的也是应该的。好在 Certbot 也提供了很方便的更新方法。
我们可以在 www.ssllabs.com 测试证书是否正常。
- 测试一下更新，这一步没有在真的更新，只是在调用 Certbot 进行测试。
certbot renew --dry-run
建议在服务器上面添加一个定时任务，让服务器定时请求进行更新。
0 0,12 * * * python -c 'import random; import time; time.sleep(random.random() * 3600)' && certbot renew
四、Certbot Webroot 模式配置证书
这里我不想使用CertBot的standalone模式，这个模式虽然可以配置好服务器，但是以后Renew的时候，需要让服务停止一下，再启动。因此抛弃这个模式，我们使用Webroot配置模式。
因为，CertBot在验证服务器域名的时候，会生成一个随机文件，然后CertBot的服务器会通过HTTP访问你的这个文件，因此要确保你的Nginx配置好，以便可以访问到这个文件。
我这里的 web 服务器使用 LNMP 一键安装包来安装的，我们之间为 其中的 nginx 配置证书，首先我们先生成证书。
4.1、配置虚拟主机
我们使用的 lnmp 一键安装包进行安装的，我们可以直接使用命令 lnmp vhost add命令添加我们需要的主机。
[root@test ~]# lnmp vhost add

4.3、配置证书
生成的证书位置如下：
[root@test ~]# ll /etc/letsencrypt/live/bbs1.wzlinux.com/
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 40 May 8 18:50 cert.pem -> ../../archive/bbs1.wzlinux.com/cert1.pem
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 41 May 8 18:50 chain.pem -> ../../archive/bbs1.wzlinux.com/chain1.pem
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 45 May 8 18:50 fullchain.pem -> ../../archive/bbs1.wzlinux.com/fullchain1.pem
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 43 May 8 18:50 privkey.pem -> ../../archive/bbs1.wzlinux.com/privkey1.pem
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 692 May 8 18:50 README
目前生成的 nginx 配置文件/usr/local/nginx/conf/vhost/bbs1.wzlinux.com.conf如下：
server
{
listen 80;
#listen [::]:80;
server_name bbs1.wzlinux.com ;
index index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm default.php;
root /home/wwwroot/bbs1.wzlinux.com;
#error_page 404 /404.html;
# Deny access to PHP files in specific directory
#location ~ /(wp-content|uploads|wp-includes|images)/.*\.php$ { deny all; }
include proxy-pass-php.conf;
location ~ .*\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|bmp|swf)$
{

{

}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
location ~ /\.
{
deny all;
}
access_log off;
}
然后我们为其添加 SSL 证书，修改后的配置文件如下：
server
{
listen 443 ssl http2;
#listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name bbs1.wzlinux.com;
index index.html index.htm index.php default.html default.htm default.php;

}
access_log off;
}
server
{
listen 80;
server_name bbs1.wzlinux.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
4.4 配置站点 bbs2
在做一个bbs2.wzlinux.com，同样的做法去生成证书。
[root@test bbs2.wzlinux.com]# certbot certonly --webroot -w /home/wwwroot/bbs2.wzlinux.com/ -d bbs2.wzlinux.com --email wangzan18@126.com

}
access_log off;
}
server
{
listen 80;
server_name bbs2.wzlinux.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
最后我们给服务器添加一个定时任务。
0 3 */7 * * /bin/certbot renew --force-renew --disable-hook-validation --renew-hook "/etc/init.d/nginx reload"
由此我们也可以看出，同一个 IP 的服务器可以为多个域名同时做 https。
最后祝愿我们所有的站点都升级为 https，让 https 人人都可以用得起。
