Get SSL Certificate (Let's Encrypt)

 Get SSL Certificates from Let's Encrypt who provides Free SSL Certificates.

Refer to the details for Let's Encrypt official site below.

⇒ https://letsencrypt.org/

By the way, expiration date of a cert is 90 days, so you must update within next 90 days later.

[1]. Install Certbot Client which is the tool to get certificates from Let's Encrypt.

[root@dlp ~]# dnf module -y install python36

[root@dlp ~]# dnf -y install gcc mod_ssl python3-virtualenv redhat-rpm-config augeas-libs libffi-devel openssl-devel

[root@dlp ~]# curl -O https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto

[root@dlp ~]# mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/

[root@dlp ~]# chmod 700 /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto

[2]. Get certificates.

It needs Web server like Apache httpd or Nginx must be runing on the server you work.

If no Web server is running, skip this section and Refer to [3] section.

Furthermore, it needs that it's possible to access from the Internet to your working server on port 80 because of verification from Let's Encrypt.

# for the option [--webroot], use a directory under the webroot on your server as a working temp

# -w [document root] -d [FQDN you'd like to get certs]

# FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) : Hostname.Domainname

# if you'd like to get certs for more than 2 FQDNs, specify all like below

# ex : if get [srv.world] and [dlp.srv.world]

# ⇒ -d srv.world -d dlp.srv.world

[root@dlp ~]# certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d dlp.srv.world

dnf is /usr/bin/dnf

dnf is hashed (/usr/bin/dnf)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

 - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:

   /etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world/fullchain.pem

   Your key file has been saved at:

   /etc/letsencrypt/live/dlp.srv.world/privkey.pem

   Your cert will expire on 2020-03-17. To obtain a new or tweaked

   version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto

   again. To non-interactively renew *all* of your certificates, run

   "certbot-auto renew"

 - Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot

   configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a

   secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will

   also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so

   making regular backups of this folder is ideal.

# success if [Congratulations] is shown

# certs are created under the [/etc/letsencrypt/live/(FQDN)/] directory


# cert.pem       ⇒ SSL Server cert(includes public-key)

# chain.pem      ⇒ intermediate certificate

# fullchain.pem  ⇒ combined file cert.pem and chain.pem

# privkey.pem    ⇒ private-key file

[3]. If no Web Server is running on your working server, it's possbile to get certs with using Certbot's Web Server feature. Anyway, it needs that it's possible to access from the Internet to your working server on port 80 because of verification from Let's Encrypt.

# for the option [--standalone], use Certbot's Web Server feature

# -d [FQDN you'd like to get certs]

# FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) : Hostname.Domainname

# if you'd like to get certs for more than 2 FQDNs, specify all like below

# ex : if get [srv.world] and [mail.srv.world] ⇒ -d srv.world -d mail.srv.world

[root@dlp ~]# certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d mail.srv.world
