New free SSL initiative

[jacobg830]

Mini guide for Ubuntu Server.

Install currently requires GIT (unless your distro already has lets-encrypt in it's package manager) which is included with Sentora. To install please input the below commands:

Code:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt

To issue the certificate (replacing example_com and example.com with your domain, and zadmin with your username):

Code:

./letsencrypt-auto certonly --webroot -w /var/sentora/htdocs/zadmin/public_html/example_com -d example.com -d www.example.com

To issue for the Sentora control panel replace website folder with /etc/sentora/panel/

Run the above command again when you want to renew your certificate. You can cronjob renewal, be sure to run it from the ~/letsencrypt folder and restart apache.

Install the provided SSL certificates (privkey.pem, cert.pem and chain.pem) stored in /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com as you would normally, following one of the SSL guides, just changing the location of where the certificates are installed to the new letsencrypt location.
