Description

This command allows you to create a certificate. There are two supported certificate types: Let’s Encrypt certificates, and custom certificates.

Let’s Encrypt certificates are free and will be auto-renewed and managed for you by DigitalOcean.

To create a Let’s Encrypt certificate, you’ll need to add the domain(s) to your account at cloud.digitalocean.com, 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’ll need to provide a certificate name, the path to the certificate, the path to the private key for the certificate, 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

Flags

Option Description
--certificate-chain-path The path 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.
--help , -h Help for this command
