acme.sh: Issue a certificate using webroot mode.
$ acme.sh --issue --domain ${example-com} --webroot ${-path-to-webroot}
try on your machine

This command is using the acme.sh script to issue a certificate for the specified domain using the webroot verification method. Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • acme.sh is a popular shell script that automates the process of acquiring SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt. It is designed to be simple and easy to use.
  • --issue is a command option that tells acme.sh to issue a certificate for the specified domain.
  • --domain ${example-com} specifies the domain for which the certificate will be issued. You need to replace ${example-com} with the actual domain name.
  • --webroot ${-path-to-webroot} specifies the webroot directory where the challenge file will be placed for domain validation. You need to replace ${-path-to-webroot} with the actual path to the webroot directory of your website.

In summary, the command is instructing acme.sh to acquire a SSL/TLS certificate for the specified domain using the webroot directory for domain verification.
