sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get install snapd
snap install core
snap refresh core
snap install --classic certbot
ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot

#The command below uses the domainname, just enter it's name here without http or https or slashes.
certbot certonly --standalone -d example.com

#Remember the location of the created files.

#Now you can create a new .conf in /etc/apache2/sites-available or edit an existing one
nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/my-website.conf

#Begin file
