Been messing around with self-hosting my own website recently and this video is what made me actually switch to a VPS. I read a bunch on how unsecure it is to run a site from your home network and realized there is literally no reason to when VPS are so easily accessible nowadays.
Great informative video, what i would suggest would be to also include a cronjob that renews the certificate, as suggested by the letsencrypt folks, since some viewers might be confused as to why their certificate expires.
I've been frustrated for the past 3 days trying to get my site up and having it run with HTTPS. I followed this tutorial step by step and it finally worked! I can't thank you enough, and thanks for also make a text based post so the next time I have to deal with this I can go straight to the resources I need!
Way better than the 1000 videos out there! Btw is there any way to ask you question like in discord? I need help to push my React app to aws and i get stuck when it says "Starting server....."
What about setting VirtualHost config for port 443 ? What about redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS ? What about domain aliases ? I think you dodged a few things in your headlong rush 🙄. *EDIT* It appears from other sources that the Certbot package does the edits to the various Apache2 config files. So there's no need for user intervention. However, these days Certbot want users to go to their site and follow the instructions for the user's web server and OS. In the case of Apache2 and Ubuntu, certbot comes as a *snap* package.
I think a good video tutorial in general but I was able to find the way to save some $$ with the ssl certificate but it need to be renew i think approximately every 6 months.
Hi I followed your video but already had apache installed. My site was working before and I was just trying to add the certificates and now my site is not working :( can you help please?
oh please... apache just if there is a very rare or stupid reason like a big a** rewrite rule that nobody can convert to nginx, otherwise nginx! do not use apache!!!
@@jordang8730 Tbh I don't really think he just mispronounced it or just had a moment of confusion. I am pretty sure he struggles to know which one is which. The reason for my thoughts is that he didn't just say VPN over VPS in the video, but also named one of the video chapters is named "VPN and Domain". If you just make a mistake while you are reading a script for the video it's not such an issue, but if you also legit take the care to type that same thing as the chapter's title it's no longer just a mistake while reading a script. To me it means he actually does think that's the right word to use. Most of the times when people don't remember the difference from 2 different acronyms is because they don't really know what the letters stand for. So, just to clarify, VPN is Virtual Private Network. While VPS is Virtual Private Server. They both have the "Virtual Private" part in common, but one is a server which you can pretty much use as you wish and the other one is an encrypted private network among devices which aren't necessarily part of the same LAN and allows them to communicate without the need of exiting the private network into "open Internet".

I really dislike video tutorials but this was very well explained and straight to the point. Thank you 👍
While I agree nginx is far superior. It doesn't make this tutorial useless for people who wanna learn something anyway.
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for this !!! I was able to deploy a website for a project from my school's research lab and everyone is so happy with it :)
This video saved me a lot, especially when it comes to SSL/HTTPS. Thank you very much!

This was an awesome tutorial. I've been fighting to install XAMPP and came across this video as an alternative which worked out G-R-E-A-T!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial - you helped me to understand this mysterious thing I never touched :D
Tks, it was a lifesaver! Your explanation was clear and easy to follow, and it helped me out big time. 👍

Great video, awesome!! Another video with Nginx? Pleaseeee
RU avoiding the request, sir? 😊
Why do we need to edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts? There's a great command: sudo hostnamectl set-hostname
also worth to mention that some distros might revert that change. use hostnamectl if your distro offers it.
I think i can get my website back online by following this tutorial thanks!
thanks! SSL works with my RPI server.
Yha helped me allot man
I think a good video tutorial in general but I was able to find the way to save some $$ with the ssl certificate but it need to be renew i think approximately every 6 months.
