Certy

Certy provides an easy way to manage X.509 certificates and their private keys through a web interface. Using Certy, you have the ability to:

• Create root Certificate Authorities
• View certificate attributes
• Create intermediate certificates signed by the root CAs
• Export certificates and keys in PEM and PKCS#12 formats

Building

To build the application, simply run:

go build

Installation

To install the application on Linux, you can use the handy "install" subcommand:

sudo ./certy install

On Windows, you can use an elevated command prompt to run:

.\certy.exe install
.\certy.exe start

This will install Certy as a Windows Service.

Note: running Certy on Windows is possible but not recommended since file & folder permissions are not yet correctly set during certificate creation. This will eventually be fixed but is a security issue in the meantime. Linux is not affected by this.

Docker

In addition to running as a standalone service, Certy can run in a Docker container. The command for launching Certy in Docker looks something like this:

docker run \
    -d \
    --name certy \
    -p 8000:80 \
    "$(pwd)/data:/data" \
    nathanosman/certy

This will launch the service listening on port 8000 on your host and store data in data/ in the current directory.
