[Freedombox-discuss] Trying to add Lets Encrypt to FreedomBox

[agropper@healthurl.com (Adrian Gropper)]

Success!

I used the Debian instructions for apache. Had to log in as root from the
VM console and stop apache2. It asked about "no names were found..." which
I found a bit troubling but I accepted the default.

Here's what I did:


   -

   Get a Domain
   -

      Get a domain: https://ap.www.namecheap.com/  myas.xyz cost $1.18
      -

         Make an A-Record to 162.243.179.89 and a CNAME for host www to
         myas.xyz
         -

         Test
         -

   Install Let?s Encrypt
   -

      sudo apt-get update
      -

      sudo apt-get install letsencrypt python-letsencrypt-apache
      -

      Login as root from the Digital Ocean console
      -

      Stop apache2: sudo service apache2 stop
      -

      /etc/letsencrypt$ ls now shows: accounts  csr  keys  renewal
      -

      letsencrypt --apache
      -

         ?No host names found?? Accept default
         -

         myas.xyz www.myas.xyz
         -

         Accept Easy

Test with: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=myas.xyz

Debian is amazing and Let's Encrypt has done a really nice job and
FreedomBox rocks. Now if we could get the domain and cert right in plinth...

Thank you!
