Finally, verify automatic renewal so HTTPS stays active without manual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, you\u2019ll learn how to use Let\u2019s Encrypt on a Linux server end to end: installation, domain validation, issuing certificates for Nginx and Apache, wildcard SSL via DNS, auto-renewal, redirects, HSTS, and troubleshooting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re on Ubuntu, Debian, or RHEL based distros, this beginner-friendly tutorial will get you to HTTPS quickly and correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-lets-encrypt-and-why-use-it\"><strong>What is Let\u2019s Encrypt and Why Use it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youstable.com\/blog\/what-is-lets-encrypt-on-linux-server\/\">Let\u2019s Encrypt<\/a> is a free, automated certificate authority (CA) that issues trusted SSL\/TLS certificates using the ACME protocol <strong>(RFC 8555)<\/strong>.
