Certbot server for SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) using SHA256withRSA


This is a really simple way of creating a certbot server for SSL certificates that automatically get renewed using Let's Encrypt. I just added python-certbot-apache from the command line.


Then I edited the /etc/apache2/sites-available/(TheTestDomain).conf file to have the proper server name.  I kept the default request scheme and port numbers. Now to renew the certificate all I have to do is run "certbot renew" from the command line and a new certificate will be generated and downloaded to my server.



Now you can see that upon visiting the domain the connection is deemed secure because there is a proper certificate. 


Here is more detailed information about the domain and the certificate. 



Here is the overview information of the certificate. It is encrypted using SHA256withRSA.


And now I just quickly double checked that certificates can indeed be renewed succesfully.
