Anyone tried Let's Encrypt / Cerbot on the ReadyNAS (esp for Owncloud)?

I run OwnCloud on one NAS as a way of exchanging files with a small group.  Some have a real problem with the lack of a "proper" SSL certificate.  They are too virus paranoid to tell their browser to ignore that for a site the know is safe.  I do have a registered domain name, so, I'm looking at getting a certificate for it from a certificate authority.  Let's Encrypt, via the Cerbot Linux client looks like an interesting (most interestingly, free) option.  Has anybody tried it on a ReadyNAS?

  • Im in the same situation trying to use my domain with a DDNS from no-ip.com to my owncoloud installed in the NAS 102.

    I have installed cerbot following the instructions in

     

    https://certbot.eff.org/#debianother-apache

     

    the auto couldnt do it itself so i had to run the certonly mode.

     

    m problem is that Cerbot i asking for my webroot directory. i do not have any idea what is it.

      For OwnCloud, it's /c/apps/owncloud/web.  I'm not sure if you need the leading /c or not.  If you've created a website in a normal share, then it's /c/data/sharename.  Basically, it's wherever the appropriate index.html is.

        I chose the standalone option i get an error that port 443 is running other service. even after stoping apache or killing it  i can not liberate the 443 port.

         

        still no succes with letsencrypt on the readynas.

         


        Any tries with 6.6.0, since it's Jessie based?

         

        lsof -i :443 returns the list of processes using port 443.  On the system I use for experimentation and have ReadyCloud enabled on, one of the processes is leafp2p, which is the ReadyCloud VPN engine.  There are also a couple others, as I have a lot of apps working on it.  On a live system without ReadyCloud enabled and very few apps, only apache2 is using it (though supporting multiple PIDs).
