Can't get certbot to work successfully

[rg305]

That should get you a REAL cert and setup the renewals for it.
Check:
certbot certificsates
crontab -l

@rg305

crontab -l

Certificates are there but the crontab is empty

[rg305]

It may use system.
Try:
systemctl status certbot
or
systemctl list-timers certbot.timer

I think I see it.
Only problem is https doesn’t work.

[rg305]

That is the last step:

Modify the default ssl file:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf

Change:

SSLCertificateFile      /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key

To use your new cert files (check exact path with: certbot certificates)

Change (if needed):
DocumentRoot /var/www/html

I have port 443 forwarded on my router

[ramdon_person]

I just did that, but it doesn’t seem to be on https.

STOP THE PRESSES!
We were NOT done yet - you are in too much of a hurry

a2ensite default-ssl.conf
systemctl reload apache2

[rg305]

Additional things you might want to do:

• redirect all HTTP to HTTPS
• tweak the ciphers and protocols used (/etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf)
• slow down, breathe, let life happen … LOL
• send me a beer …
