Questions tagged [certbot]

Certbot is the official client used to issue Let's Encrypt SSL certificates. This tag is for the certbot client itself. For questions regarding SSL in general, use the [ssl] tag.

Use the tag for all Certbot related questions. Questions should be about the certbot CLI itself, and not questions related to installing certificates generated by certbot. Certbot documentation can be found here.
