Launch
A free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. One command. Auto-renewing. Your site gets the padlock and keeps it.
Without HTTPS, every browser shows a "Not Secure" warning next to your URL. Users will not enter passwords or personal details on a site that looks unsafe, and some browsers block it entirely. This tool walks you through installing a free SSL certificate using Certbot, forcing all traffic to the encrypted version, and setting up automatic renewal so the certificate refreshes itself every 90 days without you doing anything.
Certbot needs both to be working before it can issue a certificate.
Certbot is the tool that requests and manages your certificate from Let's Encrypt.
It contacts Let's Encrypt, verifies you own the domain, installs the certificate, and updates your server configuration automatically.
Test that the padlock appears, that HTTP redirects to HTTPS, and that the auto-renewal timer is set up.
