Thread: Add https to the site... one year goal.

lets encrypt worked well for a site I host. It kept the users who wanted https happy, and was simple with their certbot that did everything for you as well as free.

Then you just have to make sure all outside links on the server-side are to https otherwise you get warnings for unsafe scripts, etc. The only down side is i have to auto renew the certificate every 3 months due to being free. But i just added that to my update script.

Im not sure what your server situation is but this is the method i used. APache version
https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-16-04
nginx version
https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-16-04

But this process literally took between http -> https a few minutes. An additional hour afterwords finding and removing http links to use https to get rid of SSL warnings.
