Development on the OwnCA projects has been stagnated for a while For that reason, I'm opening the organization to new maintainers who will have the proper permissions to unstuck development.
Those willing to join, contact me by email with the subject [OwnCA Maintainer] and please let me know what motivates you to join in such role.
OwnCA makes it easy to handle a Certificate Authority (CA) and manage certificates for hosts, servers or clients.
An example of high-level usage:
>>> from ownca import CertificateAuthority
>>> ca = CertificateAuthority(ca_storage='/opt/CA', common_name='Corp CA')
>>> example_com = ca.issue_certificate('www.example.com', dns_names=['www.example.com', 'w3.example.com'])
Basically, in these three lines we:
-
Imported the ownca Certificate Authority library
-
Created a new CA named Corp CA that uses
/opt/CA
as CA storage for certificates, keys, etc. -
Created a signed certificate by Corp CA for www.example.com, whose files are also stored in
/opt/CA/certs/www.example.com
>>> example_com.cert <Certificate(subject=<Name(CN=www.example.com)>, ...)>
More detailed usage can be found in http://ownca.readthedocs.org.

In case you have macOS M1:
pip uninstall cryptography cffi
LDFLAGS=-L$(brew --prefix libffi)/lib CFLAGS=-I$(brew --prefix libffi)/include pip install cffi cryptography rust --no-binary :all:
To automatically run checks before you commit your changes you should install the git hook scripts with pre-commit:
pre-commit install
pre-commit autoupdate
