@Japheth_Kiprotich Thanks for sharing the output of that SSL Labs test!
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to generate a valid SSL certificate for someone else’s domain. For example, you need to create an SSL Cert for a domain you own (i.e. japheth-kiprotich.com). During SSL cert generation (letsencrypt), you will have to verify you own that domain by pointing a DNS entry to your machine.
For production SSL deployment:
- Purchase a domain name (japheth-kiprotich.com)
- Add a DNS entry in your domain provider’s management interface that points the ip address of your CHT project
- Follow our TLS guide to run letsencrypt/certbot to generate SSL certs and place them into the nginx container
For development purposes, instead of purchasing a domain, you could try following this setup:
