# Cheese A Certificate Transparency log configuration and deployment tool. ## Configuration Generator The `tesseract/genconf` tool generates CT log configuration files and keys from a YAML specification in a very similar way to Sunlight. ### Usage 1. **Create YAML configuration file:** ```yaml listen: - "[::]:16420" roots: /etc/tesseract/roots.pem logs: - shortname: example2025h1 listen: "[::]:16900" inception: 2025-01-01 submissionprefix: https://example2025h1.log.ct.example.com monitoringprefix: https://example2025h1.mon.ct.example.com extraroots: /etc/tesseract/extra-roots.pem secret: /etc/tesseract/keys/example2025h1.pem localdirectory: /var/lib/tesseract/example2025h1/data notafterstart: 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z notafterlimit: 2025-07-01T00:00:00Z ``` 2. **Generate private keys:** ```bash go run ./tesseract/genconf/main.go -c config.yaml gen-key ``` 3. **Create directories and generate environment files:** ```bash mkdir -p /var/lib/tesseract/example2025h1/data go run ./tesseract/genconf/main.go -c config.yaml gen-env ``` 4. **Generate HTML and JSON files:** ```bash go run ./tesseract/genconf/main.go -c config.yaml gen-html ``` 5. **Generate nginx configuration files:** ```bash go run ./tesseract/genconf/main.go -c config.yaml gen-nginx ``` You can symlink the generated $monitoringprefix.conf files from `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/`.
