The official Dokku plugin for automatically retrieving and installing free Let's Encrypt TLS certificates using the lego ACME client. It keeps apps online during domain validation and supports automatic certificate renewal via a cron job.
Use cases
- add free https/tls certificates to my dokku apps
- automatically renew letsencrypt certificates on my server
- secure a dokku-deployed app with ssl without downtime
- enable https for domains on a heroku-style paas
- manage certificate expiry across multiple dokku apps
- set up unattended acme certificate renewal via cron
When to choose
- you run dokku and want automated, zero-downtime Let's Encrypt certificates
- you want cron-based auto-renewal of TLS certificates
- you prefer an official, well-maintained plugin over manual cert management
When to avoid
- you don't use dokku as your deployment platform
- you need certificates from a CA other than Let's Encrypt
- your host cannot pull the dokku/letsencrypt Docker image (e.g., air-gapped without preloading)
