Add HTTPS with Let's Encrypt to an Azure App Service

HTTPS has become a basic requirement for a website, I want to show how I added a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to my website running on Azure App Service.

One thing I want to add is that the Azure Let's Encrypt extension needs update once in a while, go to Kudu > Site Extensions and click on the extension's Update button (up arrow) and then click on Restart Site.

On thing i forgot to note or ask was in the part of the video you had us put app settings in for the storage account connection strings. In 2020 it looks like you can paste them into the let's encrypt azure form. Not sure if that part of the video is needed. I haven't removed mine to test but thought i'd call it out for other people.

Great work! Instructions are clear and simple to understand. Newer version of Let's encrypt extension has the form to submit values. Thank you so much.

"No web app could be found, please validate that Resource Group Name and/or Site Slot Name are correct" while adding extension. What could be the issue?

[lincolnyellick]

Not sure if it's changed since this was made, but kudo/site extensions path, needed around 4:15, does not exist for me

Thank you for the step by step instructions!

I am getting error from letsencrypt after filling up the Authentication Settings (clientId, ClientSecret, servicePlan etc) and trying to install
error: The Service Plan is using the Shared which doesn't support SSL certificates.

I like Azure. but this is nonsense. why so difficult.

[rogeriorlima]

Microsoft Azure does not work well with lets encrypt. Do you know guys other cloud service that works fine with lets encrypt ? Microsoft just wants $$$$

This was an awesome, easy to follow and informative video!
Quick introduction with a great presentation, followed by a how-to tutorial demo!
I'm guessing, that you have done a lot of presentations and demos ?

Thanks Ray, how's the renew side, it still a manual job to renew the certificate?

[edington]

Can you do an update to include two new fields in Kudu, DashboardConnectionString & StorageConnectionString

Hi, thank you for this tutorial. I was successful in creating and installing a valid cert. It is however not renewing :/ has anyone come across this issue?
