letsencrypt-plugin is a Ruby on Rails helper for Let's Encrypt service for retrieving SSL certificates (without using sudo, like original letsencrypt client does). It uses acme-client gem for communication with Let's Encrypt server.
Important note: As of version 0.0.3 of this gem dependency to SQLite has been removed (it can be used on Heroku - certificates will be displayed on console, after that please follow SSL-Endpoint guide).
For detailed installation guide please visit Installation-guide wiki page.
Run letsencrypt_plugin rake task:
$ rake letsencrypt_pluginIf everything was done correctly, then you should see output similar to the one below:
