Install SSL certificate on Amazon EC2

 Install SSL certificate on Amazon EC2 Ubuntu Server step by step guide

• 1. Update and Upgrade Packages:
  It's essential to keep your system up to date:

• sudo apt update

• sudo apt upgrade

• 
  

• 2. Install Required Software:
  You'll need to install a web server (like Apache or Nginx) and Certbot to automate SSL certificate management. For this example, we'll use Apache:

sudo apt install apache2

• 3. Configure Your Web Server:
  If you're using Apache, enable the SSL module and restart Apache:

sudo a2enmod ssl

sudo systemctl restart apache2

• 4. Install Certbot:
  Certbot is a tool for automatically obtaining and renewing SSL certificates. Install it as follows:

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

• 
  

• 5. Request and Install SSL Certificate:
  Use Certbot to request and install an SSL certificate for your domain. Replace your-domain.com with your actual domain:

sudo certbot --apache -d your-domain.com

• Certbot will guide you through the process, and it will configure your Apache server to use SSL.

• 
  

• 6. Configure Automatic Renewal:
  Set up a cron job to automatically renew your SSL certificate. Certbot will automatically renew certificates that are near expiration:

sudo crontab -e

• 7. Add the following line to your crontab, and save the file:

• 0 0 * * * /usr/bin/certbot renew

• 
  

• 
  

Visit your domain using https://your-domain.com in a web browser to ensure the SSL certificate is working correctly.
