Using Let's Encrypt with the Play Framework

[AuroraPCM]

Hi all,

How exactly do I go about certifying my Play server with Let’s Encrypt? I can’t find anything and the tutorials seem to be more webhost-oriented.

Thanks!

Hi @AuroraPCM,

I don’t think anyone has discussed this question on this forum before, and I don’t know if there are any tools yet to help automate this.

From a brief review of Play documentation, it looks like you have two main options:

(1) Follow advice at https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/ConfiguringHttps and look around on this forum for advice about configuring Let’s Encrypt certificates with Tomcat.

(2) Follow advice at https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.6.x/HTTPServer and look around on this forum for advice about configuring Let’s Encrypt with the server that you use as a proxy in front of Play.
