Nginx: Difference between revisions

 

Instead, we can use a free service, [https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt], [https://dehydrated.io/ Dehydrated], or [https://zerossl.com/ ZeroSSL]. Let's Encrypt is the most common, and is a straightforward set up.

Once certbot is installed, ensure your domain is pointed to the correct nginx server, then run:

Where you can keep chaining <code>-d <domain></code> for each domain you have. <code>python3-certbot-nginx</code> will find the right nginx configuration to call, and <code>certbot</code> will make sure you've got rights to that domain. You can't just run certbot on google.com, you need to own the domain and the IP that domain is connected to. At this point, <code>python3-certbot-nginx</code> should have edited your nginx configuration to have certbot's certificate auto-configured. If you force https, you'll see:

<syntaxhighlight lang="nginx" line>

[https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] is simple. Just run <code>certbot renew</code> and it'll renew your certificate.
