Wish I could tell, but that is part of the magic. It’s literally just “certbot —apache”, go through the prompts, and voila, everything was configured. :)

Terrific, thanks! The Certbot tool automatically configured Apache to
redirect all requests to 443 so I’m glad to hear yum will accept https.


Could you elaborate on how certbot reconfigures apache to redirect http to
https on CentOS? How did you set certbot up, and which apache config
file(s) were changes as result to make that redirect happen in your case?

I do use certbot on FreeBSD with apache (in jails), and certbot
installation doesn't change anything in my case that can result in
redirect. Whenever I need redirect I do it manually in one of apache's
config files.

Hey Ryan,

It's perfectly okay for you to deploy a mirror with SSL and plain HTTP,
but bear in mind that mirrors will default to HTTP for simplicity
(however, if you manually specify a mirror, yum will accept HTTPS)

Hi All,

Still haven’t heard back about whether it’s ok to use SSL on our
mirror. If it is, it looks like ours might be once of the first to do
so? Not seeing any mirrors wth https:
https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/

At any rate, if this ok to do, it would be great if all mirrors started
adopting https on their public CentOS mirror. Certbot makes it
incredibly easy to deploy a free Let’s Encrypt cert on your mirror,
and it literally only takes about 30 seconds to run this nifty tool.
