django-acme-challenge

A quick tool to serve the acme-challenge verification page. When creating an SSL certificate with Let's Encrypt, you need to serve a page that they request to confirm you own the site:

Make sure your web server displays the following content at
http://your-domain-name/.well-known/acme-challenge/l9msb_LONG_STRING before continuing:

l9msb_LONG_STRING.LONG_STRING

This app provides a quick way to serve and update that page from two settings variables.

Installation

PyPI:

pip install django-acme-challenge

Github:

pip install https://github.com/jamstooks/django-acme-challenge/archive/v1.2.zip

Settings

Add 'acme_challenge', to your installed apps and update your urls.py:

url(r'^.well-known/acme-challenge/', include('acme_challenge.urls')),

Just set two variables (I like to assign these with env vars, personally):

• ACME_CHALLENGE_URL_SLUG
• ACME_CHALLENGE_TEMPLATE_CONTENT

http://your-domain-name/.well-known/acme-challenge/ACME_CHALLENGE_URL_SLUG will then serve the value of ACME_CHALLENGE_TEMPLATE_CONTENT for validation.

Compatibility

Support Django 1.8 - 2.0 and Python 2 & 3
