接入HTTPS，给网站加一把绿色小锁

什么是HTTPS

关于HTTPS的概念，在《全站HTTPS来了》这篇文章已经有非常全面的描述，推荐细读。

Let's Encrypt

最近突然想把自己的博客弄成HTTPS，也不是为了加强安全，只是喜欢折腾，而且感觉加个绿色小锁酷酷的。
HTTPS免费证书颁发机构有startSSL和letsencrypt，我使用的是letsencrypt。

安装certbot

Letsencrypt官方建议使用certbot作为ACME客户端。

我使用的是Nginx + CentOS 6
通过脚本安装certbot-auto：

wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
chmod a+x certbot-auto

如果你使用的python版本是2.6的，那么你需要升级到2.7，至于升级方法请自行谷歌

配置

最开始我尝试用certbot推荐的方法进行配置，结果老是注册失败。
后来找到了Nginx介绍的配置方法（也就是下面讲到的方法）就OK了。

1. 创建配置文件

/etc/letsencrypt/configs/wuyanxin.com.conf

    # the domain we want to get the cert for;
    # technically it's possible to have multiple of this lines, but it only worked
    # with one domain for me, another one only got one cert, so I would recommend
    # separate config files per domain.
    domains = wuyanxin.com 
        
    # increase key size
    rsa-key-size = 2048 # Or 4096
        
    # the current closed beta (as of 2015-Nov-07) is using this server
    server = https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
        
    # this address will receive renewal reminders
    email = your-email
        
    # turn off the ncurses UI, we want this to be run as a cronjob
    text = True
        
    # authenticate by placing a file in the webroot (under .well-known/acme-challenge/)
    # and then letting LE fetch it
    authenticator = webroot
    webroot-path = /data/www/wuyanxin.com/

2. 配置nginx,让Let's Encrypt可以访问到临时文件

加上这个location到你的nginx配置中

  server {
      listen 80 default_server;
      server_name wuyanxin.com;
  
      location /.well-known/acme-challenge {
          root /data/www/wuyanxin.com;
      }
      ...
  }

验证配置，重启nginx

  $ sudo nginx -t && sudo nginx -s reload

3. 请求证书

    $ ./certbot-auto --config /etc/letsencrypt/configs/wuyanxin.com.conf certonly
  Updating letsencrypt and virtual environment dependencies......
  Requesting root privileges to run with virtualenv: /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt --config /etc/letsencrypt/configs/wuyanxin.com.conf certonly
  
  IMPORTANT NOTES:
   - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
     /etc/letsencrypt/live/wuyanxin.com/fullchain.pem. Your cert
     will expire on date. To obtain a new version of the
     certificate in the future, simply run Let's Encrypt again.
     ...

4. 配置nginx 443端口指向证书

  server {
      listen 443 ssl default_server;
      server_name wuyanxin.com;
  
      ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/wuyanxin.com/fullchain.pem;
      ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/wuyanxin.com/privkey.pem;
  
      ...
  }

配置http跳转到https

  server {
      listen 80;
      server_name wuyanxin.com;
      return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
  }

重启Nginx

$ sudo nginx -t && sudo nginx -s reload

自动刷新证书

Let's encrypt 的证书有效期是90天，所以我们应该在过期之前刷新证书。

• 准备如下脚本，保存到renew_letsencrypt.sh

  #!/bin/sh
  
  cd /opt/letsencrypt/
  ./certbot certonly --config /etc/letsencrypt/configs/my-domain.conf
  
  if [ $? -ne 0 ]
   then
          ERRORLOG=`tail /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log`
          echo -e "The Let's Encrypt cert has not been renewed! \n \n" \
                   $ERRORLOG
   else
          nginx -s reload
  fi
  
  exit 0

• 如果/var/log/letsencrypt/不存在就先创建

• 允许crontab -e设置每两个月刷新一次

0 0 1 JAN,MAR,MAY,JUL,SEP,NOV * /path/to/renew-letsencrypt.sh

总结

给自己的网站加上一把绿色小锁就是这么简单，其实网上相关文章已经有很多了，这篇只是我自己为网站上https时候的记录，有问题欢迎反馈。

另外，很多国内网站可能会接入“多说”的评论，因为多说评论使用的第三方头像为http的，这会导致你页面上的绿色小锁变成灰色。
不过已经有人提出了解决方案，参考这两篇文章：

1. 让多说评论框完美支持 HTTPS

2. 巧用七牛https域名,无需反代让多说支持SSL和CDN加速
