Anyone that has set up a web or an application server knows how challenging it is to deal with requesting, verifying and install an SSL\/TLS certificate is. Fast forward into the future of today…<\/p>\n

\"Let's<\/a>
\nLet’s Encrypt is a certificate authority<\/a> that has been created by the Linux Foundation with community support to tackle these challenges, a big part of EFF\u2019s<\/a> mission to encrypt the Web. They claim: “No validation emails, no complicated configuration editing, no expired certificates breaking your website. And of course, because Let\u2019s Encrypt provides certificates for free, no need to arrange payment.”<\/p>\n

There are 1,358,780 certificates issued to date and that number is growing by the minute. You can check all the issues certificates here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The official client software \u201cCertbot\u201d is easy to use and completely open source.
\n\"certbot\"<\/a>
\nYou can grab it and see the help file using the following command:<\/p>\n

$ git clone https:\/\/github.com\/certbot\/certbot && cd certbot && chmod a+x certbot-auto && .\/certbot-auto \u2014help<\/code><\/code><\/p>\n

To create a certificate and reconfigure apache to use it on a Centos6 machine this should do the trick.<\/p>\n

sudo .\/certbot-auto --apache --email youremail@yourdomain.tld --agree-tos --webroot -w \/var\/www\/html\/ -d subdomain.domain.tld -d www.subdomain.domain.tld<\/code><\/code><\/p>\n

For more advanced and automated configuration instruction visit the Certbot homepage<\/a>. If you need any help leave a reply in the comment section.<\/p>\n
