doctl compute certificate create [flags]
c
Creates a new Let’s Encrypt certificate or adds an existing custom certificate to your team. There are two supported certificate types: Let’s Encrypt certificates, and custom certificates.
Let’s Encrypt certificates are free, auto-renewed and managed for you by DigitalOcean.
To create a Let’s Encrypt certificate, you need to add the domain(s) to your account at using the DigitalOcean control panel, or via doctl compute domain create, then provide a certificate name and a comma-separated list of the domain names you’d like to associate with the certificate:
doctl compute certificate create --type lets_encrypt --name mycert --dns-names example.org
To upload a custom certificate, you need to provide a certificate name, the path to the certificate, the path to the certificate’s private key, and the path to the certificate chain, all in PEM format:
doctl compute certificate create --type custom --name mycert --leaf-certificate-path cert.pem --certificate-chain-path fullchain.pem --private-key-path privkey.pem
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--certificate-chain-path

The path on your local machine to a full PEM-formatted trust chain between the certificate authority’s certificate and your domain’s SSL certificate. |
--dns-names
|
Comma-separated list of domains for which the certificate will be issued. The domains must be managed using DigitalOcean’s DNS. |
