Fixes#7717
This PR adds a `--dns-server` option to the `run_acme_server` test tool, in order to provide an arbitrary DNS server to Pebble or Boulder for the integration tests.
I also take this occasion to make `run_acme_server` a real CLI tool using argparse, and set the `--server-type` (default `pebble`) option as well.
* Set --dns-server flag in run_acme_server
* Default to pebble
* Add documentation
* Configure also Boulder
This PR adds the following documentation improvements to fix https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/7958:
- Simplify building external plugins
- Separate out certbot snap instructions from plugin instructions
- Mention that dnsimple is just an example for the plugin instructions
- Mention remote build for other architectures
- Mention snap doc exists elsewhere in developer guide (`contributing.rst`)
* Set up generate_dnsplugins_all.sh for all files and parametrize snapcraft and postrefreshhook files
* Create constraints file in the generate_dnsplugins_all script
* Separate out plugin and certbot snaps and update instructions
* Add remote build instructions
* Add pointers to the README to contributing.rst
Fixes#7585
This PR removes the specific configuration to configure the test runner included in `setuptools` to use pytest, the deprecated parameters related to setuptools testing in `setup.py`, and update the packaging guide to use `python -m pytest` instead of `python setup.py test`.
The farm test `test_sdist.sh` is also updated to use directly pytest. This test is designed to reproduce the steps used by OS integrators when they package `certbot`, and ensure that we are not breaking something that will impact their work. We discussed with integrators from RHEL/CentOS and Debian, and they are fine with us testing sdist directly with pytest.
One execution of the `test_sdist.sh` farm test with the modifications made by this PR can be seen here: https://dev.azure.com/certbot/certbot/_build/results?buildId=2606&view=results
* Remove setuptools deprecated features about testing
* Updating packaging guide
* Add changelog entry
Fixes https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8165.
I moved `prerequisites` up to the "Running a local copy of the client" `contributing.html#prerequisites` still links to information about installing Cerbot's dependencies.
I left all certbot-auto documentation that wasn't explicitly encouraging its use. I think we can rip that out once the script is deprecated.
It seems my old instruction isn't required any longer for Gentoo. To be honest, I don't have a clue since when, but my own Gentoo server isn't even using the workaround mentioned currently in the documentation at the moment. So it seems the Apache plugin works just fine without this workaround 🤦
Also, the Gentoo repository obviously also includes the nginx since a long time. I guess my original text is ancient.. It also includes *one* of the many DNS plugins, with a different maintainer than the other "main" packages. It currently only has version 0.39.0, so I don't have a clue if it's being maintained officially.
* Remove obsolete Gentoo instructions and add packages.
* Capitalize note

Fixes#8071 and fixes https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/8110.
This PR migrates every job from Travis in Azure Pipeline.
This PR essentially converts the Travis jobs into Azure Pipeline with a complete iso-fonctionality (or I made a mistake). The jobs are added in the relevant existing pipelines (`main`, `nightly`, `advanced-test`, `release`). A global refactoring thanks to the templating system is done to reduce greatly the verbosity of the pipeline descriptions.
A specific feature (not present in Travis) is added: the stage `On_Failure`. Using directly the Mattermost API, it allows to notify pipeline failure in a Mattermost channel with a link to the failed pipelines without the need to authenticate to Microsoft.
See https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/8098#issuecomment-649873641 for the post merge actions to do at the end of this work.
Issue #1123 discusses a feature that allows users to set the cipher
security level. That feature wasn't built. It didn't provide enough
user value to justify the corresponding increase in complexity. The
feature request and the associated discussion threads were closed.
However, the proposed API spec and the TODO section remained in the
cipher docs. They're a vestige of that issue from olden days and this PR
removes those last living traces...
Fixes#8027.
Fixes#7268
I removed the reference to automatically selecting which ACME protocol we use, since at some point we'll want to rip out the non-spec-compliant ACMEv1 code.
Python 2 is going to get harder and harder to install locally so I don't think we should assume/require devs to have it installed.
This PR builds on #7905 so our developer guide only has people use Python 3.
Fixes#5484
This PRs makes Certbot expose two new environment variables in the auth and cleanup hooks of the `manual` plugin:
* `CERTBOT_REMAINING_CHALLENGES` contains the number of challenges that remain after the current one (so it equals to 0 when the script is called for the last challenge)
* `CERTBOT_ALL_DOMAINS` contains a comma-separated list of all domains concerned by a challenge for the current certificate
With these variables, an hook script can know when it is run for the last time, and then trigger appropriate finalizers for all challenges that have been executed. This will be particularly useful for certificates with a lot of domains validated with DNS-01 challenges: instead of waiting on each hook execution to check that the relevant DNS TXT entry has been inserted, these waits can be avoided thanks to the latest hook verifying all domains in one run.
* Inject environment variables in manual scripts about remaining challenges
* Adapt tests
* Less variables and less lines
* Update manual.py
* Update manual_test.py
* Add documentation
* Add changelog
Certificates are public information by design: they are provided by
web servers without any prior authentication required. In a public
key cryptographic system, only the private key is secret information.
The private key file is already created as accessible only to the root
user with mode 0600, and these file permissions are set before any key
content is written to the file. There is no window within which an
attacker with access to the containing directory would be able to read
the private key content.
Older versions of Certbot (prior to 0.29.0) would create private key
files with mode 0644 and rely solely on the containing directory
permissions to restrict access. We therefore cannot (yet) set the
relevant default directory permissions to 0755, since it is possible
that a user could install Certbot, obtain a certificate, then
downgrade to a pre-0.29.0 version of Certbot, then obtain another
certificate. This chain of events would leave the second
certificate's private key file exposed.
As a compromise solution, document the fact that it is safe for the
common case of non-downgrading users to change the permissions of
/etc/letsencrypt/{live,archive} to 0755, and explain how to use chgrp
and chmod to make the private key file readable by a non-root service
user.
This provides guidance on the simplest way to solve the common problem
of making keys and certificates usable by services that run without
root privileges, with no requirement to create a custom (and hence
error-prone) executable hook.
Remove the existing custom executable hook example, so that the
documentation contains only the simplest and safest way to solve this
very common problem.

We should move ocsp.py to public API, as an upcoming OCSP prefetching functionality in Apache plugin relies on it, and as the plugins are note released in lockstep with the Certbot core, we need to be careful when changing those APIs.
* Move ocsp.py to public api
* Fix type annotations, move to pointing to an interface and fix linting
* Add certbot.ocsp to documentation table of contents
* Modify tests to reflect the changes in ocsp.py
* Add changelog entry
* Fix notAfter mock for tests
