  • Apache / NGINX on Ubuntu with Certbot

How to secure your sites with Let’s Encrypt on Ubuntu¶

You can install the Certbot utility in Ubuntu using the official PPA (Personal Package Archive).

First, install the software-properties-common package, if you don’t already have this.

apt install software-properties-common

Next, install the repo, update the apt database and install the module for your chosen web service.

For Apache

add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
apt update
apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

or for NGINX

apt install python-certbot-nginx

There after you can use the same methods to install a certificate as previously mentioned for Apache and NGINX
