I'm actually working on a webapp, I use Reactjs
for the frontend and Golang
for the backend. Those 2 programs are hosted separately on 2 VMs on Google-Compute-Engine
. I want to serve my app through https
so I choose to use Nginx
for serving the frontend in production. Firstly I made my config file for Nginx
:
#version: nginx/1.14.0 (ubuntu)
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/banshee;
server_name XX.XXX.XX.XXX; #public IP of my frontend VM
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html =404;
}
}
For this part everything works as expected but after that I want to serve my App over https
following this tutorial. I installed the packages software-properties-common
,python-certbot-apache
and certbot
but when I tried
sudo cerbot --nginx certonly
I get the following message:
gdes@frontend:/etc/nginx$ sudo certbot --nginx certonly
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The requested nginx plugin does not appear to be installed
The requested nginx plugin does not appear to be installed
I made some searches on Google and here and I still can't figure out which plugin is missing or an other way to fix this.
Does someone have an idea tohelp me ?
Thanks a lot :)
I was trying to create let'sencrypt certificate using certbot for my sub-domain and had following issue. Command :
ubuntu@localhost:~$ certbot --nginx -d my_subdomain.website.com
Issue :
The requested nginx plugin does not appear to be installed
Solution:
Ubuntu 20+
ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install python3-certbot-nginx
Earlier Versions
ubuntu@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx
