Certbot

Nginx with Let’s Encrypt on Debian 10

by

Step 1 — Installing Certbot

The first step to using Let’s Encrypt to obtain an SSL certificate is to install the Certbot software on your server.

Installing the python3-certbot-nginx package from the Debian repositories will allow us to install and use Cerbot’s nginx plugin. Working with Python 3 and the python3-certbot-nginx package increases the longevity of our setup: Python 2 will be deprecated by January 2020, so our setup ensures compatibility with Python 3. Debian 10 currently supports both Python 2 and Python 3.

Before installing the python3-certbot-nginx package, update your package list:

sudo apt update

Next, install the dependencies for the python3-certbot-nginx package, which include the python3-acme, python3-certbot, python3-mock, python3-openssl, python3-pkg-resources, python3-pyparsing, and python3-zope.interface packages:

sudo apt install python3-acme python3-certbot python3-mock python3-openssl python3-pkg-resources python3-pyparsing python3-zope.interface

Finally, install the python3-certbot-nginx package:

sudo apt install python3-certbot-nginx

Certbot is now ready to use, but in order for it to configure SSL for Nginx, we need to verify some of Nginx’s configuration.

Debian 7 wheezy – Certbot auto started failing with ’ No module named pip.__main__’

by

If you’re using Debian 7 a.k.a wheezy which is end of life at this moment and you were using Let’s Encrypt was your SSL, then you might need some backward compatibility to continue. A possible work around for me as below:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/certbot/certbot/75499277be6699fd5a9b884837546391950a3ec9/certbot-auto
chmod +x ./certbot-auto
./certbot-auto --no-self-upgrade

For renewing an existing certificate you can use the following command instead:

./certbot-auto --no-self-upgrade

My steps:

#ln -fs /usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu/_sysconfigdata_nd.py /usr/lib/python2.7/
#wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/certbot/certbot/75499277be6699fd5a9b884837546391950a3ec9/certbot-auto
#chmod +x ./certbot-auto
