release
Date: 2016-01-31
Tags: ssl devops programming

Let's Encrypt Stuff

  • Get the Cert
    • clone the Github repo
    • run ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone -d example.com -d www.example.com
    • ensure your site responds to /.well-known/acme-challenge...
    • note: if you use multiple domains, you'll need to respond to each key. For rails, I have a route that responds conditionally to each key
    • find the .pem in /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
    • cat the .key text from etc/letsencrypt/keys/0001_key-letsencrypt.pem

Pivotal Cloud Foundry Stuff

DNS Stuff

  • update the CNAME of your webhost to point to the new SSL-enabled endpoint on PWS, example: www.example.com-abcd1234.ssl.run.pivotal.io

Enjoyed this? — any BSV wallet, HandCash, or plain old dollars.

Leave a tip

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.

With HandCash or any paymail wallet

Paymail is an email-style address for Bitcoin wallets. Send any amount to afomi@handcash.io

First time using Bitcoin? Yours Wallet is an open-source browser extension wallet, and HandCash is an easy mobile wallet — either takes a minute to set up.
