One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to achieve this is by using Let’s Encrypt SSL, a free, automated, and open certificate authority that provides SSL certificates.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to secure Apache on Ubuntu with Let’s Encrypt SSL and configure Apache for SSL.
Install Apache if it's not already installed.
Certbot is a command-line tool that simplifies the process of obtaining SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt.
With Certbot installed, you can now obtain your SSL certificate.
Once Let’s Encrypt SSL is installed, it’s important to verify that your Apache SSL configuration is correct.
Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates are valid for 90 days, but Certbot can automatically renew them for you.
After the setup, it’s important to test your SSL configuration to ensure everything works as expected.
Securing Apache with Let’s Encrypt SSL on Ubuntu is a straightforward process, thanks to Certbot's automation.
By following this comprehensive guide, you can easily implement Let’s Encrypt SSL and manage Apache SSL configuration on Ubuntu.
