Hi @BigChief,
Depending on your server’s OS(Ubuntu/CentOS), you’ll need to run a command to install it.
Ubuntu
If you are on an Ubuntu server, you’ll need to add the Certbot PPA to your list of repositories. To do so, run the following commands on the command line on the machine:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
Run this command on the command line on the machine to install Certbot.
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-nginx
Run this command to get a certificate and have Certbot edit your Nginx configuration automatically to serve it, turning on HTTPS access in a single step.
sudo certbot --nginx
Or, just get a certificate
If you’re feeling more conservative and would like to make the changes to your Nginx configuration by hand, run this command.
sudo certbot certonly --nginx
CentOS
If you’re using RHEL or Oracle Linux, you’ll also need to enable the optional channel. On EC2, RHEL users can enable the optional channel by running the following command, substituting your EC2 region for REGION in the command:
yum -y install yum-utils
yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional
Run this command on the command line on the machine to install Certbot.
sudo yum install certbot python2-certbot-nginx
Run this command to get a certificate and have Certbot edit your Nginx configuration automatically to serve it, turning on HTTPS access in a single step.
sudo certbot --nginx
Or, just get a certificate
If you’re feeling more conservative and would like to make the changes to your Nginx configuration by hand, run this command.
sudo certbot certonly --nginx
That’s it, you are ready!
Regards,
KDSYs
