cpanel-cert-renewer

This script is used to auto update the ssl certificates for your website by interacting with cpanel API and acme.sh

It is able to generate and install wildcard certificates for a domain and its subdomains

set up procedure:

  1. download acme.sh with curl https://get.acme.sh | sh
  2. add "acmepath" and "acmefold" parameters to the config
  3. add your cpanel address to "cpanel" parameter
  4. add your cpanel username to "user" parameter
  5. in cpanel generate a token and add it to "token" parameter
  6. in cpanel in DNS zone editor add 2 TXT records called "_acme-challenge."
  7. after adding your info execute this curl request: curl --request GET --url 'https://<cpanel address>:2083/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=ZoneEdit&cpanel_jsonapi_func=fetchzone_records&domain=<domain>' --header 'Authorization: cpanel <user>:<token>'
  8. look for the 2 records beginning with "_acme-challenge" and save their lines in the config in "dnsZoneLine" as a list
  9. add the domain and relative subdomains

you can now execute the python program!

(i advise you to run this program once a week with a cron job)
