Setup a website , serving it with proper encryption on the fly!

Create ssl local

Enabling SSL in our Nginx configuration will involve adding an HTTP redirect to HTTPS and specifying our SSL certificate and key locations. It will also involve specifying our Diffie-Hellman group, which we will use for Perfect Forward Secrecy.

mkdir dhparam
openssl dhparam -out $(pwd)/dhparam/dhparam-2048.pem 2048

Ssl update (LetsEncrypt)

Use regenerateSSL.sh script with system native cron system to renew certificates.( You have to update path,email,domain there)

Changes to work for your domain, search and replace on all files

• example.com -> your-domain.com
• /path/to/this/project/dir -> < absolute cloned dir of this project >
• <your-emmail-here -> an actual email , which bind it with your domain by letsencrypt
