Tutorial - Certbot Cloudflare DNS with Apache Web Servers on Ubuntu 16.10

Areas of work/improvement

Where to store the INI file -

@bmw @schoen - are there any recommendations as to where to store the INI file for security? The init.py file has a suggestion. ~/.secrets/certbot/cloudflare.ini is this a universal linux or for specific distros.

The CMOD command works to remove the error messages (chmod 600)

Use Staging First -

I usually recommend that you use --staging flag to ensure that you do not breach any rate limits while testing

Keep an eye for packaging announcements and availability -

While the method in this article will work for install official os packages (when available) should be used

Create staging and testing VHOST configs for testing -

While testing it would be ideal to use non production VHOST configs but this does require extra DNS records
