Monica - Take Three, Part Six
I am coming back to Monica today after learning some more about Certbot and LetsEncrypt as I would like to switch Monica from using a local certificate to a more permanent solution.
Taking a look at the prerequisites I need the following:
- HTTP website
- Already Online
- With an open port 80
- Which is hosted on a server
- Which you can access via
ssh
- With the ability to
sudo
Well I can make all that happen. I opened and forwarded port 80 to MONICA-01 but have ultimately disabled the forward since I am not going to have time to finish this before I need to leave today. There are some more requirements.

- Install
snapd
snapd
is already installed by default on Ubuntu. Let's make sure it is up to date.
snap install core; snap refresh core
Core 16-2.55.5 from Canonical installed
apt remove certbot
package 'certbot' is not installed, so not removed.
snap install --classic certbot
Certbot 1.27.0 from Certbot Project (certbot-eff) installed
ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
This is where I have to stop for today and where I'll pick up next time.
