Generate ssl certs

  -newkey rsa:4096 -nodes -sha256 -days 3650 \
  -subj '/CN=localhost' -extensions EXT -config <( \
   printf "[dn]\nCN=localhost\n[req]\ndistinguished_name = dn\n[EXT]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:localhost\nkeyUsage=digitalSignature\nextendedKeyUsage=serverAuth")

Apply ssl certs from Let's Encrypt

Set /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf as the following:

server {
        listen       80;
        listen       [::]:80;
        server_name  yourserver.com;
        root         /usr/share/nginx/html;

        # Load configuration files
        include /etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf;

        # Let's Encrypt authentication
        location ~ /.well-known {
            root /usr/share/nginx;
            allow all;
        }
    }

Restart nginx.

nginx -s reload
service nginx restart

Apply ssl cert and key pair with certbot.

certbot certonly --webroot --agree-tos -v -t --email xxx@xxx.com -w /usr/share/nginx/ -d xxx.com

The new cert will be saved under /etc/letsencrypt/live/.

Renew cert when it's expired.
