Thanks! You are a big help! Very clear and simple

[@Yalchin403]

Really helpful video, I'm just commenting for you if you read this, you can surely watch this video, worked for me on digital ocean. Thanks

[@hasibulhasansiju]

Great. Thank you so much. Worked perfectly

[@hisatnam]

I am not very expert in these things... but somehow I managed and installed SSL on my site. Thanks for sharing this. Can we use CSR in this process?

[@codingwithmitch]

What is csr?

[@DamienPictures]

It worked. Thank you.

[@tommasodemarco7103]

Great tutorial! What's that thing about DigitalOcean spaces for static files? I have a couple of Django projects (mainly REST APIs) on a DigitalOcean droplet and I am able to load static files through the Django admin area... So why would I need DigitalOcean Spaces?

[@AgoraphobicNews]

Hey! I installed the certificate and in the end when I try to type https I get 404 error. What should I do?

[@Singh150]

quick and easy. thanks!

[@yohannesephrem9096]

Great video Mitch. Currently I'm digging a way to acquire a valid certificate for a domain which can only be accessed with in the company infrastructure or intranet. I know there is a way Letsencrypt issue a certificate for a wildcard domain through a DNS challenge. I need a help in doing it properly so that I can get a valid certificate for a BigBluButton installation that I need to deploy with in a company.

[@henrycodingstack6952]

I love your series, i decide to it out on a project everything work well but i can login to my admin site i keep getting this error attempt to access a readonly database and the admin css not working also any help will be appreciated

[@marquezdrums]

Could you or someone do a tutorial on how to get this running in a docker container? The docs look pretty confusing on Digital Ocean and I'm getting port 80 in use errors when building my container using nginx to serve static files.

[@kiambojyms2196]

Hey I had the issue where https was not working. I solved it. I first checked the firewall status using sudo ufw status and noted 443 was not available. So I enabled it in the firewall by using sudo ufw allow 443 and everything worked. Thanks for the wonderful video.

[@srivastavabhupesh]

Can you help to make a video for ssl installations for digitalocean + azuracast droplet. Thanks in advance.

[@useruser-bv1ej]

videos with barely understandable audio from india without enough explanation: 800 000 views Great video with great audio and even greater explanation: 6500 views Seems like most people don't recognize quality

[@webgooniedotcom]

Bro you put me in the right direction however when noticing that the certbot wrote files into the .conf files it rearranged 80 and 443 hierarchy.

[@stylishhughes]

which terminal software are you using?

[@ShubhamKumar-qv6py]

Awesome content. I have one doubt that is I want to redirect all my www. to non www. requests. Could this be possible? Thanks in advance.

[@tringuyenminh6722]

Perfect one, thank you ^

[@shydrate9835]

Hi Mitch, I have installed ssl for my server, but itsn't reflecting in the url

[@mrmuranga]

Thanks. This was clear and simple. I run into problems after this process i could't access my site using mysite url either www.mysite.com or mysite.com. i was getting the message below : Welcome to nginx! If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and working. Further configuration is required. For online documentation and support please refer to nginx.org. Commercial support is available at nginx.com. Thank you for using nginx. However i had to restart the entire process by uninstalling nginx and certbot from ubuntu..then restarting afresh with the nginx configurations and then install the lets encrpyt certificate. I highly recommend you wait for (maybe 5 mins) or like in my case (3 hours) before the domain propagation had to take place.... Don't start the lets encrpyt process when you can't access your website yet without the SSL...so if you can't access www.mysite.com or mysite.com then wait until when you can then you can pick the SSL installation from there. Thks

[@PepeTostado]

How Do i setuo a firewall

[@nanunjj1740]

thank you. it's work

[@Waliente]

Hi Mitch can you write me there the link to the digital ocean article? Thank you.

[@codingwithmitch]

it's in the video

[@mykalimba]

Isn't the auto-renew automatically set up on the initial cert installation? I didn't think is was necessary to do the "dry run" part to get auto-renew running.

[@mykalimba]

Yeah, I just checked the D.O. documentation and it states this at Step 5: "Let’s Encrypt’s certificates are only valid for ninety days. This is to encourage users to automate their certificate renewal process. *_The certbot package we installed takes care of this for us by adding a renew script to /etc/cron.d. This script runs twice a day and will automatically renew any certificate that’s within thirty days of expiration._*" (Emphasis mine.) So, the auto-renew is already set up when you initially install the cert. (Maybe it wasn't like this when you originally posted this video.)

[@shokhrukhabduahadov3985]

Please, when u r recording, make sure the position your are typing is not at the bottom of the screen. when u pause the video. code is invisible

[@stylishhughes]

[@marshchawki1912]

thanks, friend

[@codingwithmitch]

no problemo

[@pauliixsantamaria]

Not working on EC2

[@dannycastano4282]

very first command doesn't work, this is the error I get, I'm using ubuntu 18.04 nginx: add-apt-repository ppa:cerbot/cerbot Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~cerbot/ubuntu/cerbot'.

[@mykalimba]

Should be "certbot", not "cerbot".

[@nayz-]

Don't do 'sudo ufw delete allow '443/tcp', this just literally blocked me out of my instance via SSH.

[@reltex1550]

Everything worked perfectly. Thank you so much!!
