# acme-mock

An [ACME][RFC 8555] server implementation performing no validations.

## Motivation

I make heavy use of ACME in [ansible][ansible homepage] playbooks.
Occasionally, I test these playbooks in virtual machines. Unfortunately,
these virtual machines are incapable of completing ACME challenges and
therefore don't receive any certificates from configured ACME servers.
Without these certificates many daemons will refuse to start causing
failures of ansible tasks. For this reason, I implemented a simple ACME
server which doesn't perform any validations and always signs the given
certificate signing requests.

## Status

Horrible hack, didn't read the RFC and only implemented the parts needed
to make [acme-tiny][acme-tiny github] work.

## Usage

This software has no external dependencies and can be installed using:

	$ go get github.com/nmeum/acme-mock

Since ACME requires HTTPS, a TLS certificate is needed. A bogus
certificate can be generated with `openssl`:

	$ yes "" | openssl req -x509 -nodes -newkey rsa:4096 \
		-keyout key.pem -out cert.pem

The generated TLS certificate and key need to be passed to `acme-mock`.
Additionally, the certificate needs to be added to the certificate store
of the virtual machine. Afterwards, the ACME client needs to be
configured to use the `acme-mock` directory. The URL of the directory
resource depends on the address parameter, it defaults to
`https://localhost/directory`. The certificate, used for processing
certificate signing requests, is generated on startup.
