Holy httpSheet!!

My socks are blown off.... I run a small webserver, 3 no-ip dynamic DNS subdomains. One is personal/family, one is a sandbox for a production site I support and the third is a support site for that. (We can't do password management on the production site...) The production site has recently made the leap to https (and only broke a few bits of my code), so I figured I should do likewise, at least for the sandbox and support sites. From some of the threads I've seen on the Apache httpd users mailing list, I was expecting a few wrinkles, to say the least. So... Go to letsencrypt. They suggest certbot. Follow the link, a few simple steps, cross fingers and in a few tens of seconds it's all over. Installed certs, rewrote my apache config, restarted it, ... Compared the config files with the ones I'd saved to see what they did. Very slick indeed. I am impressed, to say the least. Cheers, Peter

LetsEncrypt is great. Sadly the open source tool I was using to set up the IIS cert stopped working because the cert process upgraded to some newer version and nobody has updated the tool. On my todo list is following the simple steps in CertBot or similar. Ah, the todo list...

I've been using letsencrypt on two web servers for around 2 years now...pretty much set it and forget it. Every two months or so I get notifications that new certs have been installed. :thumbsup:
