This section contains references to command, flags, and the configuration file.
This describes the configuration file format.
lego looks for configuration files in the following paths from the current working directory:
.lego.yml.lego.yamlThe configuration file can be validated with the JSON Schema: lego.jsonschema.json
Defining an account is optional: lego will create one for you by default on the Let’s Encrypt ACME server.
If you want to use a different ACME server, or if you want to customize the account, you can define it in the configuration file.
This page lists all the available commands and flags.
