Introduction
Let’s Encrypt is a Certificate Authority (CA) that provides an easy way to obtain and install free TLS/SSL certificates, thereby enabling encrypted HTTPS on web servers. It simplifies the process by providing a software client, Certbot, that attempts to automate most (if not all) of the required steps. Currently, the entire process of obtaining and installing a certificate is fully automated on both Apache and Nginx.
Command
Install Certbot and it’s Nginx plugin with
sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
Step 2 — Confirming Nginx’s Configuration
sudo ufw status
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'
sudo ufw delete allow 'Nginx HTTP'
sudo ufw status
``
> Step 4 — Obtaining an SSL Certificate
```bash
sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com
Step 5 — Verifying Certbot Auto-Renewal
sudo systemctl status certbot-renew.timer
To test the renewal process, you can do a dry run with
sudo certbot renew --dry-run
