Let’s Encrypt and Certbot Rock
I was thrilled when Let’s Encypt first came out, and I setup a few websites with it’s free SSL certificates. I ended up letting the SSL certificates expire as the sites were somewhat forgotten. Today I wanted to get SSL working for this site, as well as a couple of other sites, and I used the certbot tool. I can’t believe how awesome this tool was. If you haven’t already seen it, it will auto request the cert, apply the domain challenge, and then modify your Apache configs to add SSL. It took me literally 2 minutes to add SSL to my site. With things this easy, there really is no reason not to have SSL on everything.
