Hi all,
I have recently learned of letsencrypt.org and their service sslforfree.com. Does anyone
I have just set up a certificate with ssl for free on own website and it works great. No 'This website is improperly configured' message. (even though it is properly configured, just self-signed).
The only problem I have with SSL For Free is that the certificates expire after 90 days. I can understand why they do this so as not to have lots of unused certificates but as I work on many sites any manually renewing them every 3 months would be a right pain in the proverbial.
Is there a way to obtain a free certificate from SSL For Free and have it renew automatically?
Thanks Paul
I use certbot to manage letsencrypt ssl certs, and have a crontab running a script
OK that sounds a good plan. I have never used it before though.
I have been to: https://certbot.eff.org/ and put in my webserver and os. Is this really all there is to it?
Is there anything I should know from your experience with certbot, any tips or problems?
Paul You need to put it somehwere ( preferably outside of the webroot. ). Then cd into the folder you downloaded certbot to, then run ./certbot-auto --help
FWIW I use the webroot option ... -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board Member openSUSE Forums Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
