# Letsencrypt
EasyHAProxy can issue a letsencrypt certificate. Follow the steps below:
Run the EasyHAProxy:
```bash
docker run \
-e EASYHAPROXY_LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=john@doe.com
.... \
byjg/easy-haproxy
```
Run your container:
```bash
docker run \
--label easyhaproxy.express.port=80 \
--label easyhaproxy.express.localport=3000 \
--label easyhaproxy.express.host=example.org \
--label easyhaproxy.express.letsencrypt=true \
.... \
some/myimage
```
Requirements:
- Your container **must** listen to port 80. Letsencrypt will not issue the certificate if `easyhaproxy.express.port` is in another port, and EasyHAProxy will fail silently.
- You cannot set port 443 for the container with the Letsencrypt because EasyHAProxy will create this port automatically once the certificate is issued.
- `EASYHAPROXY_LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL` environment variable is required to be set. If you don't set it up, EasyHAProxy **will not request** a certificate.
Be aware of Letsencrypt issue limits - https://letsencrypt.org/docs/duplicate-certificate-limit/ and https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
## Persist your Letsencrypt certificates
It is a good idea to store the letsencrypt certificate in persistent storage because of the limit on how many certificates can be issued for the same domain in a period.
To do this, map the folder `/certs/letsencrypt` to a docker volume.
```bash
docker volume create certs_letsencrypt
docker run \
/* other parameters */
-v certs_letsencrypt:/certs/letsencrypt \
-d byjg/easy-haproxy
```
