[Bradford] Meeting on Tuesday

[Bernard Czenkusz]

Regarding certbot:

As part of my webparametrics virtual server (Ubuntu), I installed NGINX, 
and at the time I made the following notes.

You can specify webserver and os at https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt 
and it gives the appropriate instructions. Following these installed 
certbot, created the certificates, the nginx conf file, and the cron job 
for auto-renewal.

After this I further edited the nginx config file to proxy to internal 
services - I've had no trouble with certificates, and renewals have been 
going on without any input from me.

-------------- As root:

snap install core; snap refresh core

apt-get remove certbot

snap install –classic certbot

ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

certbot –nginx -d webparametrics.co.uk -d www.webparametrics.co.uk -d 
webparametrics.com -d www.webparametrics.com

Try connecting with browser, should get https ok to the domains.

Test automatic renewal

certbot renew –dry-run

Also to see the certbot auto renewal timer, look at

systemctl list-timers

--------------

Cheers - Bernard
