Nginx configures free SSL certificate in Windows environment (Let’s Encrypt)

#nginx #encrypt #ssl

Nowadays, Baidu, Google, Github and other websites have enabled https on the entire site. https is like a "lock" on the website. What HTTPS does is to encrypt the request to make it more secure for users. In addition to protecting the interests of users, it can also prevent the traffic that belongs to itself from being hijacked. Google has defined http as an insecure website. In my opinion, HTTPS is the future trend.

1、The deployment environment is Winodws Nginx
2、Let's Encrypt is a public free SSL project abroad, hosted by the Linux Foundation and initiated by organizations such as Mozilla, Cisco, Akamai, IdenTrust, and EFF!
3、The certificate is valid for three months, and the visa certificate needs to be renewed every three months
4、Use win-acme tool to generate Let's Encrypt certificate

start

Download the latest version of win-acme on github download win-acme [My version win-acme.v2.1.12.943.x86.pluggable]
download nginx。
Unzip win-acme, open wacs.exe
choose M [Create certificate(full options)]
choose 2 [Manual input] ， then enter your domain ,
[such as : auto.example.com] , then press enter next.
choose 6 . verify domain with dns
choose 2. RSA
choose 2. nginx container . then enter your Local storage file path . [such as : D:/ssl]
Choose the last of the next two options - pass
Don’t rush to the next step at this time, look at the information given

domain : your domain
record : host record
type : record type
content : record value
now，Go to your domain name resolution backend and fill in the corresponding value ， then press enter
If the verification is successful, go to your local directory to see if the encrypted file has been generated
Configure nginx, open /conf/nginx.conf then start nginx



    server {
        listen       443 ssl;
        server_name  your domain;
        ssl_certificate      D:/nginx-1.15.6/ssl/xxxxx-chain.pem;  
        ssl_certificate_key  D:/nginx-1.15.6/ssl/xxxxxx-key.pem;  
        ssl_session_timeout 5m;
        charset utf-8;

        location / {
            root  D:/index/;
            index index.html;
        }
    }
