Secure data transmission of a website by serving over HTTPS using SSL Certificates generated by letsencrypt.
Follow the below steps to generate wildcard certificates for your domain.Here am using tigerfit.in as my domain.
- install certbot on your machine
- validate certbot installation by running certbot -v
3. sudo certbot certonly — manual -d *.tigerfit.in -d tigerfit.in — agree-tos — no-bootstrap — manual-public-ip-logging-ok — preferred-challenges dns-01 — server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
4. Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name
_acme-challenge.tigerfit.in with the following value:
hmkK*****************************************
5. Goto domain name control dashboard add TXT record with Name: _acme-challenge Value: hmkK*****************************************
6. Please deploy a DNS TXT record under the name
_acme-challenge.tigerfit.in with the following value:
Mtz*******************************************
Add second TXT record to your domain.
