Overview

In this video, I will train you to obtain free SSL certificate

I will cover 4 methods to obtain free SSL certificate:

  1. Web Server challenge
  2. Standalone server challenge
  3. Manual DNS challenge for wildcard certificates
  4. DNS API challenge with ArvanCloud API for wildcard certificates

NGINX configuration sample:

 1server { 
 2  listen 443 ssl;
 3  server_name prometheus.plabs.pro;
 4  ssl_certificate /.acme.sh/plabs.pro/plabs.pro.cer;
 5  ssl_certificate_key /.acme.sh/plabs.pro/plabs.pro.key;
 6  location / {
 7  auth_basic "Restricted";
 8  auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
 9  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9090;
10} 
11}
