SBN - Copying Certs

To copy certs for a machine from your proxy server (Replace Machine.Domain.TLD with the proper name for your machine...) (&, of course, user & WebServer may need adjusting...)
In this example,
- Machine.Domain.TLD is the full name of the machine you're copying the certs to.
- WebServer is the name of your web/proxy server
- Install certbot on the machine you're putting the certs onto & create the
live
directory where the certs will live. (Unverified Note: You might not actually need to install certbot on the proxied machine. You may be able to just create the /etc/letsencrypt directory, then the live directory...)ssh Machine
sudo apt install certbot
sudo mkdir /etc/letsencrypt/live
- Sign into your proxy server & make sure you can SSH into the target machine from there.
ssh webserver
ssh Machine
- then exit when you've succeeded (this tells webserver how to get there...)
- Then you can use scp to copy the certs.
sudo scp -r /etc/letsencrypt/live/Machine.Domain.TLD user@Machine:~
- Then ssh back into the proxy server & move the certs into their proper location
sudo mv Machine.Domain.TLD /etc/letsencrypt/live/
- And tell Apache about the certs
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl.conf
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/Machine.Domain.TLD
/fullchain.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/Machine.Domain.TLD
/privkey.pem
Restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
