I am using letsencrypt
for my server to support https. When looking around I find commands with certbot
and others with certbot-auto
with similar funcionalities. Do you need to use consistently one or the other? Can someone expalin the difference and in which case you would use each one?
Certbot is a free, open source software tool for automatically using Let's Encrypt certificates on manually-administrated websites to enable HTTPS. Certbot is made by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in San Francisco, CA, that defends digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.
All installed certificates will be automatically renewed and reloaded.
You can find instructions for installing the Certbot snap at https://certbot.eff.org/instructions by selecting your server software and then choosing “snapd” in the “System” dropdown menu. (You should select “snapd” regardless of your operating system, as our instructions are the same across all systems.)
Certbot is free open source software that allows you to easily create Let's Encrypt SSLs on your unmanaged Linux server.
If you use the certbot or letsencrypt command, you are using packages provided by your operating system vendor, which are often slow to update. If this is the case, you should probably switch to certbot-auto, which provides the latest version of Certbot on a variety of operating systems.
