Quick Start

The SPORK ACME Quick Start guide has moved to the comprehensive ACME Server Guide. That guide covers the setup wizard, certbot testing, domain policy, admin dashboard, and systemd configuration in detail.

Overview

SPORK ACME is a single binary that runs your own private certificate authority. Getting started takes three steps:

Three Steps

1. Download the binary

curl -fSL -o spork-acme https://rayketcham.com/CRLs/sp0rk/static/spork-acme-0.5.2-linux-x86_64
chmod +x spork-acme
sudo mv spork-acme /usr/local/bin/

2. Run the setup wizard

sudo spork-acme

The interactive wizard creates your CA hierarchy, configures the server, and starts it on port 6446.

3. Test with certbot

certbot certonly \
  --server https://your-server:6446/acme/directory \
  --standalone \
  --non-interactive \
  --agree-tos \
  --email admin@quantumnexus.com \
  -d test.quantumnexus.com
