@fortminor If you’re using the free version, I don’t think it includes free SSL management, so in that case you have either buy their Coach subscription or do it manually by following the tutorial.

You say that it didn’t work - what didn’t work, what errors did you get, when you followed the tutorial?

    well some files was missing I tried it 3 times but didn’t work as need to be, after a long search I found this tuto https://github.com/lesaff/serverpilot-letsencrypt I didn’t test it yet but it worked for a setup as mine.
    he said “Copy sple.sh to your /usr/local/bin folder” and I don’t know where to start,

      @fortminor

      Login to your droplet thru SSH as root and do the following:

      cd /usr/local/bin

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lesaff/serverpilot-letsencrypt/master/sple.sh

chmod +x sple.sh

cd /root

sple.sh

        it works like a charm but I found another problem when I try to restart the nginx a message popup “Job for nginx-sp.service failed because the control process exited with error co de. See "systemctl status nginx-sp.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
        “

          Then run either systemctl status nginx-sp.service or journalctl -xe
          Or run tail -30 /var/log/nginx/error.log

          I don’t use ServerPilot, so their setup is different than a default setup, so I’m not sure what/why it’s giving you an error.

Hi @fortminor

Are you using ServerPilot? If yes, then use the interface in their control panel.

If no, then doesn’t use their script, but use this tutorial:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04

How To Secure Nginx with Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 16.04
by Mitchell Anicas
In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Let's Encrypt to obtain a free SSL certificate and use it with Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04. We will also show you how to automatically renew your SSL certificate. If you're running a different web server, simply follow your web server's documentation to learn how to use the certificate with your setup.

I cannot see why it’s failing. Let’s see the Nginx log:

tail -30 /var/log/nginx/error.log

And run the Nginx configuration tester:

service nginx configtest

Solved by running:

apt-get -f install

cd /usr/local/bin

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lesaff/serverpilot-letsencrypt/master/sple.sh

chmod +x sple.sh

./sple.sh

@hansen thanks a lot for your help (y)
