# This config came around after a friend had problems with a Steam cache on his
# Cox internet connection. Cox would intercept any requests to Steam content
# servers and return a 302 to Cox's servers. The cache would return the 302
# to the Steam client, and the Steam client would go directly to Cox, bypassing
# the cache.
# This config makes nginx follow the 302 itself, and caches the result of the
# redirect as if it was the response to the original request. So subsequent
# requests to the URL that returned a 302 will get the file instead of a 302.

Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 14.04, nginx with webroot auth

This document details how I setup LE on my server. Firstly, install the client as described on http://letsencrypt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/using.html and make sure you can execute it. I put it in /root/letsencrypt.

As it is not possible to change the ports used for the standalone authenticator and I already have a nginx running on port 80/443, I opted to use the webroot method for each of my domains (note that LE does not issue wildcard certificates by design, so you probably want to get a cert for www.example.com and example.com).

Configuration

For this, I placed config files into etc/letsencrypt/configs, named after <domain>.conf. The files are simple:
