* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:

sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --standalone

If that doesn’t work, make sure, that nginx is not already running. If it still doesn’t work, try setting up nginx first (change ssl “on” to “off” and try again).

* Setup your SSL cert, using your method of choice or certbot. If using certbot, first install it:
```shell
sudo certbot certonly --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> --webroot -w /var/lib/letsencrypt/
sudo dnf install certbot python3-certbot-nginx
```
and then set it up:
```shell
sudo certbot --email <your@emailaddress> -d <yourdomain> -d <media_domain> --nginx
```
If that doesn't work the first time, add `--dry-run` to further attempts to avoid being ratelimited as you identify the issue, and do not remove it until the dry run succeeds. A common source of problems are nginx config syntax errors; this can be checked for by running `nginx -t`.
Certificate renewal should be handled automatically by Certbot from now on.
#### Other webserver/proxies
You can find example configurations for them in `/opt/akkoma/installation/`.

* PostgreSQL (also utilizes extensions in postgresql-contrib)
* nginx (could be swapped with another reverse proxy but this guide covers only it)
* certbot (for Let's Encrypt certificates, could be swapped with another ACME client, but this guide covers only it)
* If you are using certbot, also install the `python3-certbot-nginx` package for the nginx plugin

Assuming the commands were run successfully, certbot should be able to renew your certificates automatically via the `certbot-renew.timer` systemd unit.
