Serverpilot Let's Encrypt

Forked and modified from lesaff's code, to account for different serverpilot folder structure

Bash script to generate and install Let's Encrypt certificate for your websites on your free/paid ServerPilot account. Currently, the only easy way to add SSL to your ServerPilot-powered websites is by subscribing to the paid plan.

How to install

• ssh to your server, sudo su to act as root
• Copy sple.sh to your /usr/local/bin folder

  cd /usr/local/bin && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/richardhawthorn/serverpilot-letsencrypt/master/sple.sh
  

• Run sudo chmod +x sple.sh to make it executable

How to use

• Run sple.sh anywhere from your console as root
• Follow the on-screen instructions

Why root?

This script updates/create script in the /etc/nginx-sp that requires root access

IF things go wrong

• Check /var/log/letsencrypt for detailed error messages
• ssh to your sp server as root
cd /etc/nginx-sp/vhosts.d
• List all the ssl config files
  ls *ssl*
• Delete the <appname>.ssl.conf that is causing problem

Restart nginx sudo service nginx-sp restart
