This repository store 2 python scripts to renew your Neutrinet VPN certificate.
One as to be runned on an Internet Cube that has vpnclient installed, the other
one is to be runned in a standalone fashion.
**Remark**: this repository is used by the [neutrinet_ynh](https://github.com/Neutrinet/neutrinet_ynh) app, so don't rename/delete it unless you know what you are doing.
# Usage
## Standalone version
Installation:
git clone https://github.com/neutrinet/renew_cert
cd renew_cert
virtualenv ve
source ve/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage:
python renew_local.py <login> <password>
This will generate the corresponding files in a folder names like that:
`certs_2016-06-07_13:51:08` (where the date and time and the one corresponding
to the moment at which you've runned the script).
## On the Internet Cube version
**Except if you know what you are doing and has specific reasons to directly run this script, uses this YunoHost application instead https://github.com/Neutrinet/neutrinet_ynh/**
The installation procedure on the cube is a bit different (**do everything in root or with sudo**):
git clone https://github.com/neutrinet/renew_cert
cd renew_cert
virtualenv ve --system-site-packages
source ve/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage:
python renew_for_cube.py
**Be aware that this will modify your vpn configuration and certs files and
restart openvpn (and the hotspot if it's installed).** It will also save your
whole `/etc/openvpn/` in a `/etc/openvpn.old_2016-06-07_19:39:53` (where the
date and time and the one corresponding to the moment at which you've runned
the script) if you need to rollback.
**If something wents wrong, you can lose your vpn connection, run that in a
situation where you can access locally your cube in ssh** (or live the YOLO
life style).
This repository stores a python3 script to renew your Neutrinet VPN certificate.
You can run this script from your own computer.
You can also run this script from your internet cube.
Note that there is a [Yunohost app](https://github.com/Neutrinet/neutrinet_ynh) just for that.
It will setup a daily cron task that will automatically renew your certificate when needed.
**Warning**: As it is used by the Yunohost app, do NOT rename or delete the script unless you know what you are doing.
## Installation
```bash
git clone https://github.com/neutrinet/renew_cert
cd renew_cert
virtualenv ve
source ve/bin/activate
pip install-r requirements.txt
```
## Usage
```bash
python3 renew.py <login>
```
This will prompt you to enter your password for the Neutrinet's VPN.
Then, the script will generate the certificate files generate in a folder named like that:
```
certs_2016-06-07_13:51:08
```
(where the date and time correspond to the moment at which you ran the script).
You can also provide the password directly with:
```bash
python3 renew.py <login> -p <password>
```
Finally, you can provide the public part of your certificate.
The script will check the expiration date before trying to update it:
print("Error: Cannot find your credentials for neutrinet since neither {credentials} nor {auth} exists on your filesystem".format(credentials=OPENVPN_CREDENTIALS_FILE,auth=OPENVPN_AUTH_FILE)
