-To generate the certificate for your domain as required to make https work, you have two alternatives (note that the second command modifies itself the Nginx configuration to point the concerned server blocks to its certificate):
-
-```
-$ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone certonly -d peertube.example.com && nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx
-```
-
-```
-$ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --post-hook "nginx -t && systemctl reload nginx"
+Activate the configuration file:
+
+```
+$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
+```
+
+To generate the certificate for your domain as required to make https work you can use [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/):
+
+```
+$ sudo systemctl stop nginx
+$ sudo certbot --authenticator standalone --installer nginx --post-hook "systemctl start nginx"
```
Remember your certificate will expire in 90 days, and thus needs renewal.
-Activate the configuration file:
+Now you have the certificates you can reload nginx:
```
-$ sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
```
$ sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
```
-It should look like this:
-
-```

-Description=PeerTube daemon

-[Service]

-Environment=NODE_ENV=production
-Environment=NODE_CONFIG_DIR=/var/www/peertube/config
