From a817e4f0ec3ca833c48e040e3fd36e9c4faea132 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brad Warren Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2019 09:14:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] There's no need to use certbot-auto here. (#6970) I came across this when looking through our docs for other references to certbot-auto. For the README changes, I deleted a bunch of duplicated and outdated instructions in favor of pointing people to https://certbot.eff.org. --- README.rst | 38 +++++--------------------------------- docs/using.rst | 2 +- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.rst b/README.rst index f55581268..799507605 100644 --- a/README.rst +++ b/README.rst @@ -30,43 +30,15 @@ If you'd like to contribute to this project please read `Developer Guide .. _installation: -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 `_. - -.. _certbot.eff.org: https://certbot.eff.org/ - 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 +The easiest way to install and run Certbot is by visiting `certbot.eff.org`_, +where you can find the correct instructions for many web server and OS +combinations.
