Date: 2016dec5 OS: Linux Distro: Fedora Q. How do I use certbot to get a certificate for my site? A. You do NOT need to install a "certbot" package as other sites say. Installing letsencrypt will do:

dnf install letsencrypt

Then I ran:

certbot --apache

as root. The TUI asked me some questions. It was unable to find the VirtualHost I wanted to add the cert to - because I had multiple VirtualHosts in a single file. So I cancelled out and made /etc/httpd/conf.d/<myserver>_ssl.conf This time I was able to successfully run the command and get a cert! I made a cron job that does:

certbot renew

And I am set.
