Existing account key

Is it possible in LeGo to use an existing account key?

Hello,

technically, yes it's possible but not trivial, you have to reconstruct the following tree and files:

tree

.lego
└── accounts
    └── acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
        └── myemail@exmaple.com
            ├── account.json
            └── keys
                └── myemail@exmaple.com.key

account.json

{
	"email": "myemail@exmaple.com",
	"registration": {
		"body": {
			"status": "valid",
			"contact": [
				"mailto:myemail@exmaple.com"
			]
		},
		"uri": "https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/acct/123456789"
	}
}

myemail@exmaple.com.key is your private key.

Great, thanks. I'll try this.

In lego v5 (unreleased for now), I added a new command accounts recover that allow importing an account by providing the private key.
