Let's Encrypt

#1 Post by labbe5 »

https://brejoc.com/https-with-nginx-let ... -acmetool/

Let's Encrypt is used to encrypt websites (http becomes https).

There is really no reason to not use valid HTTPS certificates anymore. Let's Encrypt is easy to use and free.

What is proposed here is to use Nginx, Let's Encrypt and acmetool

acmetool is a Go program that can handle all your Let's Encrypt related tasks without messing with you configs.

If this is of interest to you, there are sections about :
Setup acmetool
Since acmetool is a Go program, there are not much dependencies.
Setup Nginx
The Challenge
SSL On
