[LetsEncrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started/) is an easy, free way to have X.509 (SSL) Certificates on a web server. Rather than install the certificate files manually, they provide a handy utility that will download a cert, configure Apache, and install the certificate on an ongoing basis.
1. Install Certbot.
Run this command on the command line on the machine to install Certbot.
`sudo zypper install certbot python-certbot-apache` (or the appropriate Linux package manager command)
2. Choose how you'd like to run Certbot
* Either get and install your certificates...
Run this command to get a certificate and have Certbot edit your Apache configuration automatically to serve it, turning on HTTPS access in a single step.
