documentation: describe role of fullchain.pem
trafficstars
The documentation doesn't mention what fullchain.pem is, but if you run it naively and without configuring anything all, it errors out:
Eds-MacBook-Pro:~ ed$ sudo go/bin/ssl-tester --help
2019/02/02 01:30:25 open /etc/ssl-tester/fullchain.pem: no such file or directory
Perhaps a brief paragraph somewhere as to what that file is and how it got there? I'm looking at https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/generating-cert-pem-chain-pem-and-fullchain-pem-from-order-certificate/78376 help sort that out.
I don't disagree. For now, fullchain.pem is the public certificate chain (holding the app's public key and intermediates) in the correct order. This DOES need to be better documented.
