Use Let's Encrypt to Renew SSL Certificates

Starting with Version 19.3, FileCloud supports auto-renewing SSL certificates with Let's Encrypt.

To auto-renew your SSL certificate, you must first contact the Let's Encrypt team. 

To use Let's Encrypt's HTTP-01 challenge for adding/renewing SSL certificates:

  1. Contact the Let's Encrypt team and request auto-renewal of your SSL certifcate.
  2. Open the following file:
    • Windows:  C:\xampp\htdocs\.htaccess
    • Linux: /var/www/html/.htaccess
  3. Find the following code:

    #--------------------------------------------------
    # Let's Encrypt Support
    # RewriteRule ^.well-known/(.*)$ .well-known/$1 [L]
    #--------------------------------------------------
  4. Remove # in front of:
    RewriteRule ^.well-known/(.*)$ .well-known/$1 [L]

    so that the code appears as:

    #--------------------------------------------------
    # Let's Encrypt Support
    RewriteRule ^.well-known/(.*)$ .well-known/$1 [L]
    #--------------------------------------------------
  5. Save and close .htaccess.
