Installing Postfix with Let's Encrypt certificate using Certbot (RHEL7)

Please read the full howto at: https://pastebin.com/embed/TqLCQRNB

Note: Substitute ite.lat for your own domain. And the private and public IPs for your own.

$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-extras
$ sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhui-REGION-rhel-server-optional
$ sudo yum repolist all
$ wget https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
$ sudo rpm -Uvh epel-release-latest-7*.rpm
$ sudo yum install python-certbot-apache
$ sudo certbot --apache

  • Your certificate and chain have been saved at /etc/letsencrypt/live/
  • Lets encrypt certificates expire 90 days after they were issue.
  • To obtain a new or tweaked version of this certificate in the future,
    simply run certbot again with => certbot --apache certonly
  • To non-interactively renew all of your certificates,
    run with => certbot renew --dry-run
  • If that appears to be working correctly, you can arrange for automatic renewal
    by adding a cron or systemd job which runs the
    following => certbot renew --quiet
