[SEE SELF_REPLY UPDATE] Hi Guys. Thank you so much (Griffin) for pointing me to the Certbot Bitnami SSL SAN certificate creation guide - worked a treat and hopefully when it comes to auto renew "it just does it".
This one didn't even require TXT files and just worked. Generate and Install a Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate for a Bitnami Application
I am a total noob and you've got me up and running with a few links and a bit of insight. Many thanks again.
Now I'm ready to redirect http:// to https:// as I can see people are going to receive security warnings when they type in my web address.
I've been reading this forum a lot, I'm just too new to have a go at this without a step-by-step guide, so can anyone suggest the best HSTS tutorial for my needs?
Needs:
The website at most will have a contact form so I don't want to do the white-list as I'm seeing some difficult problems arise not being able to connect if there's a certificate issue. Am I right here?
Thoughts:
The certs seem ok?
Using https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/
It looks like HSTS solves a lot of my problems although I'm needing a tutorial on how to set preferred www and non-www although this might be covered when applying HSTS? Not sure...
oof! H can't be good?! (no encryption)
My domain is: skynfüd.com (or skynfüd.com) SAN SSL> skynfud.com, skynfud.co.uk, skynfix.co.uk and all www versions.

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): Yes
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you're using Certbot): Erm... not sure, this command isn't working but I did use Cerbot for sure.
