Setup SSL with Certbot
Download Certbot package
We'll start by downloading the certbot package which can be used to create SSL certificates
for your website.
# If using NGINX run the following:
apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-nginx
# If using Apache run the following:
apt install -y certbot python3-certbot-apache
Creating a certificate
Assuming you have set your domain to point to your webserver IP, you're ready to create a certificate. Creating an SSL cert is as simple as running one of the commands below:
# If you are using NGINX:
certbot certonly --nginx -d example.com
# If you are using Apache:
certbot certonly --apache -d example.com
# Use this if neither works. Make sure to stop your webserver first when using this method.
certbot certonly --standalone -d example.com
