# DynamoDB Storage adapter for CertMagic
![Status for silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb](https://github.com/silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg?branch=master)
[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/github.com/silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb)](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb)

[CertMagic](https://github.com/caddyserver/certmagic) Is an awesome package for doing all the
heavy lifting with Let's Encrypt for certificate provisioning and use. In order to be flexible
about how you use CertMagic, it has support for various methods of storing certificates. CertMagic has a
[Storage Interface](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/caddyserver/certmagic?tab=doc#Storage)
allowing for multiple storage implementations.

This package is an implementation of the Storage interface that uses DynamoDB for certificate
storage. We created this implementation for use in a clustered environment where our application
runs in containers behind a load-balancer with no shared filesystem.

## Authentication with AWS

This package uses the AWS Go library for interactions with DynamoDB. As such that library can
detect your AWS credentials in multiple ways, in the following order:

1. Environment Variables
2. Shared Credentials file
3. Shared Configuration file (if SharedConfig is enabled)
4. EC2 Instance Metadata (credentials only)

For more information about authentication see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/api/aws/session/.

## Usage
```go
package whatever

import (
"github.com/caddyserver/certmagic"

dynamodbstore "github.com/silinternational/certmagic-storage-dynamodb/v3"
)

// ...

certmagic.Default.Storage = &dynamodbstore.Storage{
Table: "CertMagic",
LockTimeout: 2 * time.Minute, // optional: default is 5 minutes
LockPollingInterval: 2 * time.Second, // optional: default is 5 seconds
}

// ...
```
Only the table name is required, but you can also override the default values for `LockTimeout` and
`LockPollingTimeout` if you want. Technically you can also override `AwsEndpoint`, `AwsRegion`, and
`AwsDisableSSL` if you are running your own DynamoDB service. These settings are used in the unit tests
so you can look there for examples.

## Testing locally
You can build and run the tests for this package locally so long as you have Docker and Docker Compose
available. Just run `docker-compose run test`. You could also run the DynamoDB local service separately
and just run the tests from your local system, just be sure to adjust the `AWS_ENDPOINT` environment
variable to point to where you have `dynamodb-local` running.

## Creating the DynamoDB Table

### Command line:
```
aws dynamodb create-table \
--table-name CertMagic \
--billing-mode PAY_PER_REQUEST \
--attribute-definitions AttributeName=PrimaryKey,AttributeType=S \
--key-schema AttributeName=PrimaryKey,KeyType=HASH
```

### Terraform
```hcl
resource "aws_dynamodb_table" "CertMagic" {
name = "CertMagic"
billing_mode = "PAY_PER_REQUEST"
hash_key = "PrimaryKey"

attribute {
name = "PrimaryKey"
type = "S"
}
}
```
