How to get free SSL certificates quickly installed on your Linux / NGINX server.

If you’re not aware of the letsencrypt project, let me teach you!
This wonderful organization is basically handing out free money, in the form of SSL certificates.
So if you’re savvy enough to self host your sites, you should be able to do this pretty quickly also.

If you’re like me and you have snap package manager and nginx installed all you have to do is:

  1. SSH into your server
  2. Run these commands
      sudo snap install --classic certbot
      sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
      sudo certbot --nginx

This will install CERTBOT, create a symlink to it, and execute it for nginx. It really is that simple! I did make a quick video on it if you want to see more in depth explanation on how it worked for me.
