Overview
I wrote about how to create a fullchain ssl certificate manually in a previous post. Today, I will show you how you can create fullchain ssl cert with only 3 commands.
We will use a tool named crtforge which is free and open-source application that you can find on Github.
Install crtforge
To install crtforge, you need Linux or macOS. You can also use the crtforge on Windows with wsl.
sudo curl -L -o /usr/bin/crtforge https://github.com/burakberkkeskin/crtForge/releases/latest/download/crtforge-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) && \
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/crtforge
These two command will install crtforge binary to your system.
Create a fullchain cert.
You can directly run crtforge with a appname and domains that app needs.
crtforge websiteApp myapp.com app.myapp.com
Congratulations 🎉, you will have your fullchain with 3 commands in total.
You can get the certs from the $HOME/.config/crtforge/default/websiteApp directory.
For detailed usage like custom root CA, custom intermediate CA and trusting the root CAs, you can check the readme of the repository.
