Let's Encrypt Free SSL Certificates

Let's Encrypt - Free SSL/TLS Certificates

Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open Certificate Authority.

Site: http://letsencrypt.org

Getting started

https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/

Certificates

Private key:

/etc/letsencrypt/live/[DOMAIN]/privkey.pem

Cert:

/etc/letsencrypt/live/[DOMAIN]/cert.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/live/[DOMAIN]/fullchain.pem   # <-- recommended option

/etc/letsencrypt/live/[DOMAIN]/README :

This directory contains your keys and certificates.

`privkey.pem`  : the private key for your certificate.
`fullchain.pem`: the certificate file used in most server software.
`chain.pem`    : used for OCSP stapling in Nginx >=1.3.7.
`cert.pem`     : will break many server configurations, and should not be used
                 without reading further documentation (see link below).

WARNING: DO NOT MOVE OR RENAME THESE FILES!
         Certbot expects these files to remain in this location in order
         to function properly!

We recommend not moving these files. For more information, see the Certbot
User Guide at https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#where-are-my-certificates.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.t0e.org/fullchain.pem
   Your key file has been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.t0e.org/privkey.pem
   Your cert will expire on 2019-04-30. To obtain a new or tweaked
   version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto
   again with the "certonly" option. 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.
