Issue and automate renewal of SSL certificates with Let's Encrypt using Certbot
Raw
certbot.md

Install Certbot and register Let's Encrypt account:

add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
apt update
apt install certbot
certbot register

Issue new SSL certificates for each host:

certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/alexhunt.io/ -d alexhunt.io -d www.alexhunt.io

Add a new Cron entry for renewals:

@daily certbot renew --post-hook "nginx -s reload" 2>> /var/log/certbot.log

certbot renew references all pre-obtained certificates and will skip any with more than 30 days remaining before expiry.
