Install a letsencrypt certificate on RadyNAS 6.10.5 hotfix 1
Hi, my apache2 pem file somehow got corrupted with the upgrade to ReadyNAS OS 6.10.5, so I bit the bullet and fixed it by installing a letsencrypt certificate using acme.sh As it might help others (...

Here are the set of instructions for some one doing it from scratch, as the --renew-hook command didn't work for me
1) Install
Check this project: https://github.com/acmesh-official/get.acme.sh
Run below command via ssh.
Note: A valid email id is required for letsencrypt. my@example.com will not work
wget -O - https://get.acme.sh | sh -s email=my@example.com
After the installation, you must close the current terminal and reopen it to make the alias take effect.
2) For auto updating acme.sh(optional step)
acme.sh --upgrade --auto-upgrade
3) Use Lets encrypt instead of default zerossl. Zerossl was not working for me, it kept on retying and then errored out several times. If it works for you no need to run this step
acme.sh --set-default-ca --server letsencrypt
4) Issue a certificate, you can choose as per your need using the documentation at GitHub.
since I am on apache server, I have used the apache module like this:
acme.sh --issue --apache -d yourdomainname
If everything goes right, this should have created the certificates (check the console for the current path).
5) Install the certificates
acme.sh --install-cert -d yourdomainname \
--reloadcmd "cat /root/.acme.sh/yourdomainname_ecc/fullchain.cer /root/.acme.sh/yourdomainname_ecc/yourdomainname.key >/etc/frontview/apache/apache2.pem && service apache2 restart "
Now you can access your NAS using the https. Enjoy!!!🎉
