This projects helps to package acme.sh as a Debian archive (.deb). acme.sh actually has a pretty good installer (acme.sh --install) but if you want to use a (personal) APT repository (e.g. with using unattended-upgrades) this could help make it easier to install. Also this could be used to create a package that already holds your personal configuration files.

The resulting package will do the following:

1. Install acme.sh and all library files (dnsapi/, deploy/ and notify) in /usr/lib/acme.sh
2. Install account.conf in /etc/acme.sh/account.conf
3. Set /etc/acme.sh/cert as the location for certificates (via $CERT_HOME)
4. Install the cronjob for renewing the certificates as root
5. Set up an alias for root (alias acme.sh=/usr/lib/acme.sh/acme.sh)

Change the $PROJECT and $BRANCH variables in debian/rules to make sure you're using the right package. E.g. if you've created your own branch/fork of acme.sh you can use that here. Also make sure to adapt account-etc.conf (to be installed in /etc/acme.sh/account.conf to your needs).

After you've adapted the package update the changelog with dch (which also determines the version number for this package)

apt-get install -y debhelper dh-virtualenv

Build the package using make debian in the main directory.

Install the resulting package with dpkg -i or add it to your personal APT repository
