Let’s Encrypt Wildcard SSL Certificate with Nginx

Install Certbot

sudo yum -y install certbot python2-certbot-nginx nginx

Run the command as shown below to request SSL for *.yourdomain.id.

sudo certbot certonly \
  --agree-tos \
  --email [email protected] \
  --manual \
  --preferred-challenges=dns \
  -d *.yourdomain.id \
  --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

Once you execute the command, you will receive a TXT record which you need to add to your DNS server. The records will look as below:

Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name
_acme-challenge.yourdomain.id with the following value:

7qx8FNyWnK_HENpP6xqq3_Vl6Ful7hiVTVLKZafp8p8

Before continuing, verify the record is deployed.

Add the records to your DNS server for the webserver domain.

 

Check DNS

host -t txt _acme-challenge.example.com

 

Once you have verified that the record has been deployed, press Enter to obtain the SSL. You should get feedback as below:
