Certificate Store¶
The Certificate Store lets customer admins manage TLS certificates for use with reverse proxies and custom domains on Pilvio.pro. Certificates are added once and then available for selection when creating a reverse proxy.
Adding a certificate¶
You can add a certificate in two ways: upload your own certificate and key, or request one automatically via Let's Encrypt.
- Navigate to Admin → Certificate Store.
- Click ADD CERTIFICATE.
- On the Certificate type step, choose Create using certificate and key or Create using letsencrypt, then click Next.
- On the Certificate info step:
- For certificate and key, paste your Certificate and Private key.
- For letsencrypt, select the top-level domain from Available top level domains and, optionally, a Subdomain (optional).
- Submit the form.
The certificate becomes available to select when creating a reverse proxy.
Note
For a top-level domain to be usable here, you need to have proven ownership of it under Customer DNS — either with a DNS TXT verification record, or by pointing its NS records at the platform's nameservers.
The certificate list¶
Each certificate shows:
| Column | Shows |
|---|---|
| Domain | The domain the certificate covers |
| Status | The certificate's current status |
| Source | How the certificate was created — uploaded, or issued via Let's Encrypt |
| Added by | Who added the certificate |
| Added at | When it was added |
| Expires at | The certificate's expiry date |
| Actions | Per-row actions |
Downloading a certificate¶
- Click the certificate's domain name to open its details page.
- Select Download.
Updating a certificate¶
- Click the certificate's domain name to open its details page.
- Select UPDATE and provide the new certificate and/or key.
Note
UPDATE is not available for certificates issued via Let's Encrypt — those renew through the reverse proxy instead, described below.
Warning
Pilvio.pro refuses to delete a certificate that is still referenced by a reverse proxy. Repoint the reverse proxy to a different certificate, or remove the association, before deleting.
Deleting a certificate¶
Open the certificate's details page and select Delete.
Renewing a Let's Encrypt certificate¶
Renewal isn't an action on the Certificate Store itself — it's on the reverse proxy using the certificate. Open the reverse proxy, then select Renew certificate.
