certbot

The Let's Encrypt Agent for automatically obtaining and renewing TLS certificates. Successor to letsencrypt. More information: https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html.
  • Obtain a new certificate via webroot authorization, but do not install it automatically:
    sudo certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path {{path/to/webroot}} --domain {{subdomain.example.com}}
  • Obtain a new certificate via nginx authorization, installing the new certificate automatically:
    sudo certbot --nginx --domain {{subdomain.example.com}}
  • Obtain a new certificate via apache authorization, installing the new certificate automatically:
    sudo certbot --apache --domain {{subdomain.example.com}}
  • Renew all Let's Encrypt certificates that expire in 30 days or less (don't forget to restart any servers that use them afterwards):
    sudo certbot renew
  • Simulate the obtaining of a new certificate, but don't actually save any new certificates to disk:
    sudo certbot --webroot --webroot-path {{path/to/webroot}} --domain {{subdomain.example.com}} --dry-run
  • Obtain an untrusted test certificate instead:
    sudo certbot --webroot --webroot-path {{path/to/webroot}} --domain {{subdomain.example.com}} --test-cert
