I used the following combination:

  1. Use the tutorial on digital ocean
    https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04
    (I am using ubuntu 14.04 at the moment, I believe this will also work for 16.04)
  2. Follow the tutorial here:
    https://coderwall.com/p/9i-ncg/create-ssl-certificates-for-ispconfig-using-let-s-encrypt

I’ve used it on two ispconfig-installations I have. Works like a charm. I’ll check out the link you have above.

Since version 3.1 of ISPconfig, it has support for Let’s Encrypt built in - so you don’t need to do anything manually to add them.

My post was regarding securing the ispconfig administration website. I have ispconfig3.1, but I haven’t really found the way to do this through the system.

ISPConfig 3.1 users now have the latest guide / tutorial in securing their ISPConfig control panel, other major services and other ISPConfig server in their single or multi server setup:
