Been messing around with self-hosting my own website recently and this video is what made me actually switch to a VPS. I read a bunch on how unsecure it is to run a site from your home network and realized there is literally no reason to when VPS are so easily accessible nowadays.

I've been frustrated for the past 3 days trying to get my site up and having it run with HTTPS. I followed this tutorial step by step and it finally worked! I can't thank you enough, and thanks for also make a text based post so the next time I have to deal with this I can go straight to the resources I need!

While I agree nginx is far superior. It doesn't make this tutorial useless for people who wanna learn something anyway.
Thanks for the video

Great informative video, what i would suggest would be to also include a cronjob that renews the certificate, as suggested by the letsencrypt folks, since some viewers might be confused as to why their certificate expires.

This video saved me a lot, especially when it comes to SSL/HTTPS. Thank you very much!

[alex-fddz]

Thank you so much for this !!! I was able to deploy a website for a project from my school's research lab and everyone is so happy with it :)

[SlickNickTexas]

This was an awesome tutorial. I've been fighting to install XAMPP and came across this video as an alternative which worked out G-R-E-A-T!
Thank you!

[tibfox]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial - you helped me to understand this mysterious thing I never touched :D

[ricardolopes]

Tks, it was a lifesaver! Your explanation was clear and easy to follow, and it helped me out big time. 👍

Way better than the 1000 videos out there! Btw is there any way to ask you question like in discord? I need help to push my React app to aws and i get stuck when it says "Starting

[davidalvarezsantes]

Great video, awesome!! Another video with Nginx? Pleaseeee

What about setting VirtualHost config for port 443 ?
What about redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS ?
What about domain aliases ?
I think you dodged a few things in your headlong rush 🙄.
*EDIT*
It appears from other sources that the Certbot package does the edits to the various Apache2 config files. So there's no need for user intervention.
However, these days Certbot want users to go to their site and follow the instructions for the user's web server and OS. In the case of Apache2 and Ubuntu, certbot comes as a *snap* package.

I think i can get my website back online by following this tutorial thanks!

[oleksandrpotapenko]

Why do we need to edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts? There's a great command: sudo hostnamectl set-hostname <what you need>

[Punchmememe]

[manafsliman]

[kevinlegobrickmaster]

Dropped a sub thanks for the tutorial will be really helpful for my networking project

[fernandomartinez]

I think a good video tutorial in general but I was able to find the way to save some $$ with the ssl certificate but it need to be renew i think approximately every 6 months.

[mr.domingues]

Any advice for only being able to access the website via the IP address and not URL?

[fxuouzp]

awesome but i have to advise your particular web hosting company might have there own peculiar ways of doing things.
