QuickStart Guide

Domain Doggy is a macOS application that streamlines the process of creating and managing Let’s Encrypt™ SSL certificates -- without ever touching a terminal. This guide will step you through using Domain Doggy for the first time.

Creating your first account

When you open Domain Doggy for the first time you'll be presented with a Welcome Screen. In order to use Domain Doggy, you will need to create an account file. Simply click on Create New Account.

Once your new account file loads in, it is worth saving this file somewhere safe for later use.

Creating and Downloading your first Certificate

With your new account, you can now Request a new Certificate. Click on Request New Certificate:

Add the domain you wish to create the certificate for, and press Request Certificate:

After requesting your certificate, you'll be presented with your new order in the order list, as well as the challenge you need to set in your DNS settings:

Log into your Domain Provider, and add your new TXT record to your domain:

Once your DNS settings have been updated with your challenge, you can click Validate Challenge:

If the challenge is validated successfully, your order is ready to be finalised. Click on Finalise & Download to finalise the order.Note: If your challenge is unsuccessful your order is no longer valid, and you will have to start this process again.

After your order is finalised, you'll have three new options available:Export Certificate: This allows you to download the Certificate only.

Export Private Key: This option presents a prompt to choose between two different ways to download your private key:
1. PEM: Download your private key only as a .pem file
2. #PKCS12: Download a certificate bundle which contains both the private key and certificate. Optionally, you can choose to add a password to this bundle.

Delete Private Key: As the name suggests, this will delete the private key accociated with this order from the account. Note: This action cannot be undone.
