How to install Let's Encrypt on shared host with cPanel

[humgurung]

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: https://homesinnepal.com

I ran this command: Not tried

It produced this output: Not applicable

My web server is (include version): Not known

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Not known

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: merocloud.host

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): YES

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): cPanel

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): Not known

Just to be clear: you are on shared hosting and can login to a root shell on your shared hosting server?

Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community

I'm actually nearing release of my ACME client that is specifically intended for acquiring Let's Encrypt certificates on shared hosting instances managed with cPanel. It should be ready for release within a few days.

Yes, it's shared hosting. I have ssh access but have no idea whether I have root access or not.

Thank you and good luck!

Is the source already visible on Github perhaps?

[humgurung]

I didn't get you. Where is it and how to install it?

I replied to @griffin, see screenshot below how Discourse (this forum software) visualises that:

Not yet. It's going to be available from its own website initially. Once it's alpha tested, I'll post another draft illustrated guide in the #lounge for review. While GoDaddy shared hosting with cPanel is my primary target, the delta for other providers should be small enough (and the code should be flexible enough) to work for most any similar setup.
