acme.sh: Issue a certificate using a working Apache configuration.
$ acme.sh --issue --apache --domain ${example-com}
try on your machine

This command is using the acme.sh script to issue a new SSL certificate for a domain using the Apache web server.

  • acme.sh is a shell script that automates the process of obtaining SSL/TLS certificates from Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority.
  • --issue is a command option used with acme.sh to request a new SSL certificate.
  • --apache is another command option used to specify that the SSL certificate should be installed in Apache.
  • --domain ${example-com} is a placeholder for the actual domain name for which the SSL certificate is being requested. In this case, it should be replaced with the domain name in the format example.com.

By running this command with the appropriate domain name, the acme.sh script will communicate with the Let's Encrypt CA, verify domain ownership, and issue an SSL certificate that can be installed and used within the Apache web server.
