How To Install Let’s Encrypt SSL on Ubuntu With Apache

Install Let’s Encrypt SSL on Ubuntu With Apache

LetsEncrypt is a free open certificate authority (CA) that provides free certificates for websites and other services. The service, which is backed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Mozilla, Cisco Systems, and Akamai. Unfortunately, LetsEncrypt.org certificates currently have a 3 month lifetime. This means you’ll need to renew your certificate quarterly for now.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo’ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step by step installation Let’s Encrypt SSL on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) server.

Install Let’s Encrypt SSL on Ubuntu With Apache

Step 1. First make sure that all your system packages are up-to-date by running these following apt-get commands in the terminal.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install git

Step 2. Install LAMP (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP) server.

A Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP server is required. If you do not have LAMP installed, you can follow our guide here.

Step 3. Installing Let’s Encrypt SSL.

Next, run the commands below to clone Let’s Encrypt git project to your server and this will create a folder called letencrypt in the /opt directory:

git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt /opt/letsencrypt

Generating Let’s Encrypt certificates:

cd /opt/letsencrypt

Run the commands below to generate a SSL certificate for your domain (example.com) or website:

./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d example.com

You can also use a single certificate on multiple domains and sub-domains, to do that, you’ll have to add them as additional perimeters to the command:

./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d example.com -d www.example.com

After the installation process finishes successfully a congratulation message is displayed on your console informing you about the expiration date and how you can test the configuration as illustrated on the below screenshots and you should be able to find the generated certificate files at /etc/letsencrypt/live.

letsencrypt-ssl-generate

Finally, now your domain should be accessible via HTTPS! Check it out at https://yourdomain.com.

Step 4. Set up auto renewal Let’s Encrypt.

Let’s Encrypt certificates are valid for 3 month, but it’s recommended that you renew the certificates every 2 month to allow a margin of error. To renew that certificate, you’ll have to come back into the /opt/letsencrypt directory and run the commands below:

./letsencrypt-auto renew

Or you can also setup a cron job to automatically renew your certificate before it expires by editing cron and specifying how often you want to check/renew:

sudo crontab -e

Add the line below and save:

0 0 * * 0 /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto renew >> /var/log/le-renew.log

Congratulation’s! You have successfully installed Let’s Encrypt SSL. Thanks for using this tutorial for installing Let’s Encrypt SSL with Apache on your Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) system.

Unpack the October CMS archive to the document root directory on your server:

unzip octobercms.zip -d /var/www/html/octobercms/

Set the file permissions for October CMS:

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/octobercms/
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/

Step 4. Configuring MariaDB for October CMS.

By default, MariaDB is not hardened. You can secure MariaDB using the mysql_secure_installation script. you should read and below each steps carefully which will set root password, remove anonymous users, disallow remote root login, and remove the test database and access to secure MariaDB:

mysql_secure_installation

Configure it like this:

- Set root password? [Y/n] y
- Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
- Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
- Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

Next we will need to log in to the MariaDB console and create a database for the October CMS. Run the following command:

mysql -u root -p

This will prompt you for a password, so enter your MariaDB root password and hit Enter. Once you are logged in to your database server you need to create a database for October CMS installation:

MariaDB [(none)]&gt; create database octobercmsdb character set utf8;
MariaDB [(none)]&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON octobercmsdb.* TO 'octobercms'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'Y0uR-Passw0rD';
MariaDB [(none)]&gt; flush privileges;
MariaDB [(none)]&gt; quit

Step 5. Configuring Apache web server for October CMS.

Create a new virtual host directive in Apache. For example, create a new Apache configuration file named ‘octobercms.conf’ on your virtual server:

sudo a2enmod rewrite
touch /etc/apache2/sites-available/octobercms.conf
ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/octobercms.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/octobercms.conf
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/octobercms.conf

Add the following lines:

ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /var/www/octobercms/
ServerName your-domain.com
ServerAlias www.your-domain.com

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-error_log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/your-domain.com-access_log common

Now, we can restart Apache web server so that the changes take place:

systemctl restart apache2.service
