    # Let's Encrypt

    Examples of getting certificates from (Let's Encrypt)[https://letsencrypt.org/] working on Apache, NGINX and Node.js servers.

    ## Obtain certificates
    I chose to use the manual method, you have to make a file available to verify you own the domain. Follow the commands from running

    ```shell
    git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
    cd letsencrypt
    ./letsencrypt-auto certonly --manual --email admin@example.com -d example.com
    ```

    This creates a directory: `/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/` containing certificate files:

    - cert.pem
    - chain.pem
    - fullchain.pem
    - privkey.pem

    ## Node.js
    ```javascript
    var https = require('https');
    var fs = require('fs');

    var options = {
    key: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem'),
    cert: fs.readFileSync('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem')
    };

    https.createServer(options, function (req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200);
    res.end("hello world\n");
    }).listen(8000);
    ```

    ## Apache
    ```
    LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache2/mod_ssl.so
    Listen 443
    <VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName example.com
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem"
    SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem"
    </VirtualHost>
    ```

    ## NGINX
    ```
    server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name example.com;
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/cert.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
