digitalocean_certificate
Generated on 8 May 2025
from Terraform version
v2.53.0
Provides a DigitalOcean Certificate resource that allows you to manage certificates for configuring TLS termination in Load Balancers. Certificates created with this resource can be referenced in your Load Balancer configuration via their ID. The certificate can either be a custom one provided by you or automatically generated one with Let’s Encrypt.
Example Usage
Custom Certificate
resource "digitalocean_certificate" "cert" {
name = "custom-terraform-example"
type = "custom"
private_key = file("/Users/terraform/certs/privkey.pem")
leaf_certificate = file("/Users/terraform/certs/cert.pem")
certificate_chain = file("/Users/terraform/certs/fullchain.pem")
}
Let’s Encrypt Certificate
resource "digitalocean_certificate" "cert" {
name = "le-terraform-example"
type = "lets_encrypt"
domains = ["example.com"]
}
Use with Other Resources
Both custom and Let’s Encrypt certificates can be used with other resources
including the digitalocean_loadbalancer
and digitalocean_cdn
resources.
resource "digitalocean_certificate" "cert" {
name = "le-terraform-example"
type = "lets_encrypt"
domains = ["example.com"]
}
# Create a new Load Balancer with TLS termination
resource "digitalocean_loadbalancer" "public" {
name = "secure-loadbalancer-1"
region = "nyc3"
droplet_tag = "backend"
forwarding_rule {
entry_port = 443
entry_protocol = "https"
target_port = 80
target_protocol = "http"
certificate_name = digitalocean_certificate.cert.name
}
}
