Im trying to install letsencrypt but Im totally noob when it comes to linux .
I need to install it from this link https://github.com/lesaff/serverpilot-letsencrypt
there is a "How to Install" but not quite clear to me
any advice tips would highly appreciated
@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,
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.
well this what I got from systemctl status nginx-sp.service

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
I tried this tutorial but didn't work for me, I suspect that the problem was from serverpilot itself
@fortminor
But if you're using ServerPilot, then you should use their control panel and generally not access the server directly.
@fortminor
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
