This video will show how you can use Certbot to create Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates. This is the process we use to create certificates for our video tutorials.

Some organizations will also use Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates for production usage.

  • Hi I would like to thank you for this video. It helped me a lot to understand the whole process. However, I couldn’t get the certification. I am stuck in where I give a command ‘sudo certbot –nginx’ only to get this message,

    ‘Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: nginx). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
    Domain: {mywebsiteDNSaddress}
    Type: unauthorized
    Detail: {mypublicIPv4}: Invalid response from http://{mywebsiteDNSaddress}/.well-known/acme-challenge/5dEpVAqj-vwefebG7UXC_4MXhsdfefeLUuYZ0KrBY: 404’


    
You mentioned that the Ip address from ‘ip a’ has to be the same as ip address from ‘ping mywebsite.com’ at 0:24.
And I found that the IP address I get from command `ip a`, shown next to ‘inet’ was showing the Private IPv4 address not my public address.
So they didn’t match . 
If this doesn’t bother you too much I would like to ask you for an advice how I could solve this kind of situation. 

    (I asked chatgpt and community and couldn’t find solution for this only to be lost in circles)
