Greetings from Let's Encrypt, [email protected].

Thank you for your interest in our beta program! We're excited to let you know 
that your domains (below) have been whitelisted, and you can now utilize an 
ACME client to obtain a certificate for them.

# Quick Start

To use Let's Encrypt's official client to obtain your real certificates, you 
will need to provide the production API URL on the command line:

  https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

When running the Python client (installation directions [1]), be sure to 
specify the --server argument as shown below:

  git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
  cd letsencrypt
  ./letsencrypt-auto --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory 
--help

# How to use the client

The Let's Encrypt client supports a number of different "plugins" that can be 
used to
obtain and/or install certificates.  A few examples of the options are
included below.

If you're running Apache on a recent Debian-based OS, you can try the Apache
plugin, which automates both obtaining and installing certs:

  ./letsencrypt-auto --apache --server 
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-dev-preview

To obtain a cert using a "standalone" webserver (you may need to temporarily
stop your exising webserver) for example.com and www.example.com:

  ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a standalone \
  -d example.com -d www.example.com \
  --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-dev-preview

To obtain a cert using the "webroot" plugin, which can work with the webroot
of any webserver software:

  ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a webroot --webroot-path /var/www/example \
  -d example.com -d www.example.com \
  --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-dev-preview

Note: Currently the webroot plugin can only obtain certs for several domains 
simultaneously if they share a webroot.

To receive instructions for the (fairly complex) process of obtaining a cert
from Let's Encrypt by manually providing proof you control a domain:

  ./letsencrypt-auto certonly -a manual -d example.com \
  --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --agree-dev-preview

If you are using a different ACME client, be sure to configure it to use the 
production URL in order to get valid certificates. Many clients will default to 
the staging URL.

## Help and Known Issues

You can get help with the client and Let's Encrypt at

  https://community.letsencrypt.org/

Known issues with the Python client can be tracked here:

Please search thoroughly for existing issues before filing a new report!

# Renewals and Lifetimes

Certificates from Let's Encrypt are valid for 90 days. We recommend renewing 
them every 60 days to provide a nice margin of error. As a beta participant, 
you should be prepared to manually renew your certificates at that time. As we 
get closer to General Availability, we hope to have automatic renewal tested 
and working on more platforms, but for now, please play it safe and keep track.

# Rate Limiting

During this beta test we have very tight rate-limiting in place. We plan to 
loosen these limits as the beta proceeds.

There are two rate limits in play: Registrations/IP address, and 
Certificates/Domain.

Registrations/IP address limits the number of registrations you can make in a 
given day; currently 10. This means you should avoid deleting the 
/etc/letsencrypt/accounts folder, or you may not be able to re-register.

Certificates/Domain you could run into through repeated re-issuance. This limit 
measures certificates issued for a given combination of Top Level Domain + 
Domain. This means if you issue certificates for the following domains, at the 
end you would have what we consider 4 certificates for the domain example.com.

  1. www.example.com
  2. example.com www.example.com
  3. webmail.example.com ldap.example.com
  4. example.com www.example.com

The limit on Certificates/Domain has a window of 60 days, to give 30 days for 
renewals. We know it's restrictive at present; thank you for your patience in 
helping us ensure Let's Encrypt is ready for the whole world.

# Certificate Transparency

Part of our transparency mission includes publicly disclosing the certificates 
we issue via Certificate Transparency. Your email address is not publicly 
disclosed.

# Helpful Information

Let's Encrypt maintainence events are posted on https://letsencrypt.status.io/ 
and Twitter (@letsencrypt_ops). If you need help, both the Let's Encrypt 
community at https://community.letsencrypt.org/ and #letsencrypt on 
irc.freenode.org are excellent sources of assistance.

If there are updates for Beta program participants, they will be posted at the 
community site at 
https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/beta-program-announcements/1631.

Your whitelisted domains are:

 - wiki.parabola.nu
 - labs.parabolagnulinux.org
 - parabola.nu
 - mail.parabolagnulinux.org

These are the domains approved out of those you submitted. If you're missing 
domains, likely they weren't in your original submission, or they may have had 
a typo. If you like, you can re-submit to the beta program[2] and you'll 
receive another notification when they, too, are whitelisted.

On behalf of everyone involved in Let's Encrypt, welcome to the future of the 
encrypted web.
