DISCLAIMER: I am a programmer, not a sysadmin in my day-to-day life. I provide this guide simply as a self-reference, and as a way to contribute to the community of developers. The main motivation for writing this guide is because of the lack of properly written guides/tutorials. They were either out-dated, inaccurate, in a non-English language or simply too vague to understand (at least for me, as a programmer and not a sysadmin).

I hope this guide helps getting you up and running with your own collection of VPS's on your own Dedicated Server over at Hetzner.de.

Requirements:

In this guide you can find how to resolve the following issues.

• request a new certificate
• set up Nginx to enable your certificate
• check SSL configuration rating on your HTTPS site
• renew a certificate

Feel free to ask any questions in the comments section below.

If you installed Timeshift from the AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/timeshift/), you'll find that scheduled backups may not work. This is due to cronie being disabled by default.

Check if cronie is present first:

systemctl list-unit-files | grep cronie
