In this tutorial, we configure let's encrypt SSL in our Zimbra mail server which we have configured in the previous post.
For install ssl in zimbra create file named zimbra-ssl.sh.
For install ssl in zimbra create file named zimbra-ssl.sh.
sudo vim zimbra-ssl.sh
Insert Below script in a zimbra-ssl.sh file and save. #!/bin/bash
# SSL certificate installation in Zimbra
# with SSL certificate provided by Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org)
# Author: Subhash (serverkaka.com)
# Check if running as root
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
read -p 'letsencrypt_email [xx@xx.xx]: ' letsencrypt_email
read -p 'mail_server_url [xx.xx.xx]: ' mail_server_url
# Check All variable have a value
if [ -z $mail_server_url ] || [ -z $letsencrypt_email ]
then
echo run script again please insert all value. do not miss any value
else
# Installation start
# Stop the jetty or nginx service at Zimbra level
su - zimbra -c 'zmproxyctl stop'
su - zimbra -c 'zmmailboxdctl stop'
# Install git and letsencrypt
cd /opt/
apt-get install git -y
git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt
# Get SSL certificate
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone --non-interactive --agree-tos --email $letsencrypt_email -d $mail_server_url --hsts
cd /etc/letsencrypt/live/$mail_server_url
