Self-hosting
Let simple-acme answer TLS validation request
| Plugin type | TLS validation | |
|---|---|---|
| Download | Built-in | |
| Compatibility | All platforms |
Description
This plugin launches a temporary built-in TCP listener that stores the validation details in memory. This requires exclusive access to the port, so it cannot be used while another application is handling connections.
Non-default port
Even though the ACME server will always open the validation connection on port 443, you may forward that to another port within your internal infrastructure. Using the command line you can tell the plugin to listen to a specific port.
Command line
--validationmode tls-alpn-01 --validation selfhosting |

‑‑validationport |
Port to use for listening to validation requests. Note that the ACME server will always send requests to port 443. This option is only useful in combination with a port forwarding. |
Examples
