This Let's Encrypt client made it so much easier. This is how the process went :</p> <ul> <li>Download certbot</li> <li><em>RTFM</em></li> <li>Run certbot</li> <li>Fail because you haven't redirected port 443 to your server</li> <li>Spend half an hour trying to remember your router's password (and fail)</li> <li>Ask your network admin (aka Dad) for the password</li> <li>Redirect port 443</li> <li>Run certbot</li> <li>Have a cup of tea and some biscuits to celebrate !</li> </ul> <p>It's as easy as that ! So really, if you have a web server with self hosted apps, don't hesitate and encrypt everything !</p> <p>Cheers !</p> <p>Alzaï </p> webdev showdev raspberrypi Valentin Pearce Fri, 24 Mar 2017 13:56:39 +0000 https://dev.to/valentinpearce/hi-im-valentin-pearce https://dev.to/valentinpearce/hi-im-valentin-pearce <p>I have been coding for about 10 years though my first script was a .bat file pting an infinite list of random numbers, electric green on black on my school's WinXP machines.</p> <p>I live in Plouha, a little place by the sea in Brittany, France.</p> <p>I study software engineering in Brest, the westernmost city in France ! (We get a lot of rain)</p> <p>I mostly program in C and PHP but I dabble in a bit of everything. I really ought to specialize but I really don't know what I want to do later.</p> <p>I am currently learning more about Database conception and implementation.</p> <p>You can find me on Twitter as <a href="https://twitter.com/ValentinPearce" rel="noopener noreferrer">@ValentinPearce</a></p> introduction
