Letsencrypt tutorial

How to setup Let's Encrypt for Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04 (including IPv6, HTTP/2 and A+ SLL rating)

https://gist.github.com/cecilemuller/a26737699a7e70a7093d4dc115915de8

Getting new certs with nginx plugin

sudo certbot --nginx certonly

sudo nginx -s reload -t

Steps to generate wildcard certificate

https://asknetsec.com/generate-lets-encrypt-free-wildcard-certificate-using-certbot-ubuntu-16-04/

Run this below command on the linux cli.

sudo certbot certonly --manual -d cooby.io -d *.cooby.io --agree-tos --no-bootstrap --manual-public-ip-logging-ok --preferred-challenges dns-01 --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

Replace *.cooby.io with your domain name for example *.yourdomainname.com. Once you run this command it will generate a text DNS value.

The command output will be similar to the one below
