Setup a website with Nginx


Install nginx


This setup is for a simple html static web site in a online server.


Servers and Domains


I recommend this two sites for your servers and domains, This two sites are well know and very cheap.

After you have the server and domain, Install (**Debian**):


sudo apt install nginx certbot python-certbot-nginx

If it's **Ubuntu server** change python-certbot-nginx to **python3-certbot-nginx**


When everything is installed, create your website as follow


Create directory


Create the file for you website, in there is where you website will live, run:


mkdir /var/www/yourdomain

Then create a simple index.html


echo "<h1>Under Constructions</h1>" >> /var/www/yourdomain/index.html

With that in place, set up your site in nginx.


Nginx Setup


Create a copy of the default configuration file or create a new file (if you create a new files skip the following command)


cp /etc/nginx/sites-avaiable/default /etc/nginx/sites-avaiable/yourdomain

Edit the new config file (i use vim)


vim /etc/nginx/sites-avaiable/yourdamin

Copy and past the following and change it to domain (this config sample is for html only)


server {
    listen 80;
	listen [::]:80;

    server_name your_domain www.yourdomain;
    root /var/www/yourdomain;

    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }

    location ~ /\.ht {
        deny all;
    }

}

Saved it close it. Then we need to enable the new site:


ln -s /etc/ngnx/site-avaiable/yourdomain /etc/ngnx/site-enable/

Now you need to reload/restart you nginx server


systemctl reload nginx

And just for fun (if you want it) restart nginx


systemctl restart nginx

Certbot


Before you run certbot, you need to setup your domain and cnames in your domain provider. If you didn't do it, certbot will fail.


Run:


certbot --nginx

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/dkdraperyhardware.xyz/fullchain.pem
   Your key file has been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/dkdraperyhardware.xyz/privkey.pem
   Your cert will expire on 2021-03-21. To obtain a new or tweaked
   version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again
   with the "certonly" option. To non-interactively renew *all* of
   your certificates, run "certbot renew"
 - If you like Certbot, please consider supporting our work by:

   Donating to ISRG / Let's Encrypt:   https://letsencrypt.org/donate
   Donating to EFF:                    https://eff.org/donate-le

If everything goes well you won't see any error on the screen. Give it a minute to update then try in your web browser, your domain will be re-direct to https.


Add a cronjob to renew certbot


To renew the certificate you can run


certbot renew

Another way is to add a cronjob to do that run this command in the terminal


crontab -e

At the end of the files add:


1 1 1 * * certbot renew --quiet && systemctl reload nginx

What this does? It says run certbot renew every first of the mount. That will take care of the https in the server.


Delete a Certificate


If you want to delete a certificate


certbot delete

Then just select the domain you want to delete
