Description: # ManuaLE
        
        manuale is a fully manual [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org)/[ACME](https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme/) client for advanced users. It is intended to be used by a human in a manual workflow and contains no automation features whatsoever.
        
        ## Why?
        
        Isn't the point of Let's Encrypt to be automatic and seamless? Maybe, but here's some reasons:
        
        * You're not comfortable with an automatic process handling something as critical, or your complex infrastructure doesn't allow it in the first place.
        
        * You already have perfect configuration management with something like Ansible. Renewing is a matter of dropping in a new certificate. With a manual client that works, it's literally a minute of work.
        
        * You want the traditional and authentic SSL installation experience of copying files you don't understand to your server, searching for configuration instructions and praying that it works.
        
        ## Features
        
        * Simple interface with no hoops to jump through. Keys and certificate signing requests are automatically generated: no more cryptic OpenSSL one-liners. (However, you do need to know what to do with generated certificates and keys yourself!)
        
        * Support for DNS validation. No need to figure out how to serve challenge files from a live domain. (In fact, that's the only validation method supported).
        
        * Obviously, runs without root access. Use it from any machine you want, it doesn't care. Internet connection recommended.
        
        * Awful, undiscoverable name.
        
        * And finally, if the `openssl` binary is your spirit animal after all, you can still bring your own keys and/or CSR's. Everybody wins.
        
        ## Installation
        
        Python 3.3 or above is required.
        
        ### Using your package manager
        
        * Arch Linux: in the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/manuale).
        
        * Fedora Linux: `dnf install manuale`.
        
        * Package maintainers wanted: your package here?
        
        ### Using pip
        
        You can install the package from [PyPI](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/manuale) using the `pip` tool. To do so, run `pip3 install manuale`.
        
        If you're not using Windows or OS X pip may need to compile some of the dependencies. In this case, you need a compiler and development headers for Python, OpenSSL and libffi installed.
        
        On Debian-based distributions, these will typically be `gcc python3-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev`, and on RPM-based distributions `gcc python3-devel openssl-devel libffi-devel`.
        
        ### From the git repository
        
            git clone https://github.com/veeti/manuale ~/.manuale
            cd ~/.manuale
            python3 -m venv env
            env/bin/python setup.py install
            ln -s env/bin/manuale ~/.bin/
        
        (Assuming you have a `~/.bin/` directory in your `$PATH`).
        
        ## Quick start
        
        Register an account (once):
        
            $ manuale register me@example.com
        
        Authorize one or more domains:
        
            $ manuale authorize example.com
            DNS verification required. Make sure these records are in place:
              _acme-challenge.example.com. IN TXT "(some random gibberish)"
            Press enter to continue.
            ...
            1 domain(s) authorized. Let's Encrypt!
        
        Get your certificate:
        
            $ manuale issue --output certs/ example.com
            ...
            Certificate issued.
        
            Expires: 2016-06-01
             SHA256: (more random gibberish)
        
            Wrote key to certs/example.com.pem
            Wrote certificate to certs/example.com.crt
            Wrote certificate with intermediate to certs/example.com.chain.crt
            Wrote intermediate certificate to certs/example.com.intermediate.crt
        
        Set yourself a reminder for renewal!
        
        ## Usage
        
        You need to create an account once. To do so, call `manuale register [email]`. This will create a new account key for you. Follow the registration instructions.
        
        Once that's done, you'll have your account saved in `account.json` in the current directory. You'll need this to do anything useful. Oh, and it contains your private key, so keep it safe and secure.
        
        `manuale` expects the account file to be in your working directory by default, so you'll probably want to make a specific directory to do all your certificate stuff in. Likewise, created certificates get saved in the current path by default.
        
        Next up, verify the domains you want a certificate for with `manuale authorize [domain]`. This will show you the DNS records you need to create and wait for you to do it. For example, you might do it for `example.com` and `www.example.com`.
        
        Once that's done, you can finally get down to business. Run `manuale issue example.com www.example.com` to get your certificate. It'll save the key, certificate and certificate with intermediate to the working directory.
        
        There's plenty of documentation inside each command. Run `manuale -h` for a list of commands and `manuale [command] -h` for details.
