Hello there, quick question from newbie as after first attempt, I got not secure log in warning, my “https” was not working. So I want to install c-Panel on CentOS and want to know the order to do it. What I did previously was this: Added CloudFlare NS inside Domain Provider Created the droplet inside DO Added the domain to the droplet Start installing c-Panel aaaand got in that black window some warnings about kernel and when went to log in using https://mydroppletip:2078 got warning that SSL sertificate is not working. Anyone help and let me know the proper flow of installing and connecting things as providing tutorial sources? Thanks

Hello, MkDroplet As per @jarland reply you can use a hostname in order to access cPanel/WHM securely via https. As for the domain names hosted on the droplet you can install the Let’s Encrypt tool in order to issue and install SSLs. Installation To install the plugin, perform the following steps: Log in to the server as the root user. Run the following command: /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/install_lets_encrypt_autossl_provider Log in to WHM and navigate to the Manage AutoSSL interface (WHM -> Home -> SSL/TLS -> Manage AutoSSL) In the Providers tab, select the Let’s Encrypt™ option. The interface will display the Terms of Service section. Review Let’s Encrypt’s terms of service. If you agree, select the I agree to these terms of service option. Click Save. You can also check the official cPanel docs: https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/third-party/the-lets-encrypt-plugin/86/ Hope that this helps!Regards,Alex

Hello there, quick question from newbie as after first attempt, I got not secure log in warning, my “https” was not working.

So I want to install c-Panel on CentOS and want to know the order to do it.

What I did previously was this:

Added CloudFlare NS inside Domain Provider
Created the droplet inside DO
Added the domain to the droplet
Start installing c-Panel

aaaand got in that black window some warnings about kernel and when went to log in using https://mydroppletip:2078 got warning that SSL sertificate is not working.

Anyone help and let me know the proper flow of installing and connecting things as providing tutorial sources?

Thanks

Hello friend!

At this time cPanel issues free SSL certificates for WHM/cPanel, but you need to use the server hostname rather than the IP in browser, as SSL certificates are signed only for names and not IP addresses. I highly recommend their installation guide, as the cPanel team has heavily documented it:

Hello, MkDroplet

As per @jarland reply you can use a hostname in order to access cPanel/WHM securely via https.

As for the domain names hosted on the droplet you can install the Let’s Encrypt tool in order to issue and install SSLs.

Installation

To install the plugin, perform the following steps:
Log in to the server as the root user.
Run the following command:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/install_lets_encrypt_autossl_provider

Log in to WHM and navigate to the Manage AutoSSL interface (WHM -> Home -> SSL/TLS -> Manage AutoSSL)
In the Providers tab, select the Let’s Encrypt™ option. The interface will display the Terms of Service section.
Review Let’s Encrypt’s terms of service. If you agree, select the I agree to these terms of service option.
Click Save.

You can also check the official cPanel docs: https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/third-party/the-lets-encrypt-plugin/86/

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
