nginx + Certbot VPS

nginx with Certbot ready to fetch a free Let's Encrypt certificate.

What you get

nginx serving a placeholder page, plus Certbot and its nginx plugin, so HTTPS for your domain is one command away. A good base for static sites and reverse proxies.

What gets installed

$ apt Debian family (apt)
  • nginx
  • certbot
  • python3-certbot-nginx
$ dnf Red Hat family (dnf)
  • nginx
  • epel-release
  • certbot
  • python3-certbot-nginx

After it's ready

  1. Point your domain's A and AAAA records at the server.
  2. Run certbot --nginx -d example.com.
  3. Put your site in /var/www/html (/usr/share/nginx/html on AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and Fedora) or add a server block in /etc/nginx.

Order it from your terminal

$ vps9
$ vps9 servers create --plan budget --image ubuntu-24.04 --app nginx --hostname web-1 --key key_8f2c
POST /api/v1/servers
{
  "plan": "budget",
  "image": "ubuntu-24.04",
  "hostname": "web-1",
  "app": "nginx"
}
