        Certbot is part of EFF’s effort to encrypt the entire Internet. Secure communication over the Web relies on HTTPS, which requires the use of a digital certificate that lets browsers verify the identity of web servers (e.g., is that really google.com?). Web servers obtain their certificates from trusted third parties called certificate authorities (CAs). Certbot is an easy-to-use client that fetches a certificate from Let’s Encrypt—an open certificate authority launched by the EFF, Mozilla, and others—and deploys it to a web server.
        
        Anyone who has gone through the trouble of setting up a secure website knows what a hassle getting and maintaining a certificate is. Certbot and Let’s Encrypt can automate away the pain and let you turn on and manage HTTPS with simple commands. Using Certbot and Let's Encrypt is free, so there’s no need to arrange payment.
        
        How you use Certbot depends on the configuration of your web server. The best way to get started is to use our `interactive guide <https://certbot.eff.org>`_. It generates instructions based on your configuration settings. In most cases, you’ll need `root or administrator access <https://certbot.eff.org/faq/#does-certbot-require-root-administrator-privileges>`_ to your web server to run Certbot.
        
        If you’re using a hosted service and don’t have direct access to your web server, you might not be able to use Certbot. Check with your hosting provider for documentation about uploading certificates or using certificates issued by Let’s Encrypt.
        
        Certbot is a fully-featured, extensible client for the Let's
        Encrypt CA (or any other CA that speaks the `ACME
        <https://github.com/ietf-wg-acme/acme/blob/master/draft-ietf-acme-acme.md>`_
        protocol) that can automate the tasks of obtaining certificates and
        configuring webservers to use them. This client runs on Unix-based operating
        systems.
        
        To see the changes made to Certbot between versions please refer to our
        `changelog <https://github.com/certbot/certbot/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md>`_.
        
        Until May 2016, Certbot was named simply ``letsencrypt`` or ``letsencrypt-auto``,
        depending on install method. Instructions on the Internet, and some pieces of the
        software, may still refer to this older name.

        Installation
        ------------
        
        The easiest way to install Certbot is by visiting `certbot.eff.org`_, where you can
        find the correct installation instructions for many web server and OS combinations.
        For more information, see `Get Certbot <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html>`_.

        How to run the client
        ---------------------
        
        In many cases, you can just run ``certbot-auto`` or ``certbot``, and the
        client will guide you through the process of obtaining and installing certs
        interactively.
        
        For full command line help, you can type::
        
          ./certbot-auto --help all
        
        
        You can also tell it exactly what you want it to do from the command line.
        For instance, if you want to obtain a cert for ``example.com``,
        ``www.example.com``, and ``other.example.net``, using the Apache plugin to both
        obtain and install the certs, you could do this::
        
          ./certbot-auto --apache -d example.com -d www.example.com -d other.example.net
        
        (The first time you run the command, it will make an account, and ask for an
        email and agreement to the Let's Encrypt Subscriber Agreement; you can
        automate those with ``--email`` and ``--agree-tos``)
        
        If you want to use a webserver that doesn't have full plugin support yet, you
        can still use "standalone" or "webroot" plugins to obtain a certificate::
        
          ./certbot-auto certonly --standalone --email admin@example.com -d example.com -d www.example.com -d other.example.net
        
        
        Understanding the client in more depth
        --------------------------------------
        
        To understand what the client is doing in detail, it's important to
        understand the way it uses plugins.  Please see the `explanation of
        plugins <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#plugins>`_ in
        the User Guide.

        Current Features
        =====================
        
        * Supports multiple web servers:
        
          - apache/2.x
          - nginx/0.8.48+
          - webroot (adds files to webroot directories in order to prove control of
            domains and obtain certs)
          - standalone (runs its own simple webserver to prove you control a domain)
          - other server software via `third party plugins <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html#third-party-plugins>`_
        
        * The private key is generated locally on your system.
        * Can talk to the Let's Encrypt CA or optionally to other ACME
          compliant services.
        * Can get domain-validated (DV) certificates.
        * Can revoke certificates.
        * Adjustable RSA key bit-length (2048 (default), 4096, ...).
        * Can optionally install a http -> https redirect, so your site effectively
          runs https only (Apache only)
        * Fully automated.
        * Configuration changes are logged and can be reverted.
        * Supports an interactive text UI, or can be driven entirely from the
          command line.
        * Free and Open Source Software, made with Python.
