This script automates the process of installing and renewing LetsEncrypt certificates on a CPanel shared host without WHM or the LetsEncrypt plugin installed.
Think of a Certbot alternative capable of running on a shared host restricted environment.
First of all, Yes!, you can have a free SSL certificate installed on your CPanel hosted shared server!
The process was tedious, but now is one cron job away, for unlimited certification freedom.
It fetches and installs the certificates for the configured domains(s) or subdomain(s).
LetsEncrypt v2 protocol supported.
Clone this repo, and run composer install then, just copy the folder to your server ex: ./.sslscript, I advise not to put it inside the public directory, although all sensitive folders are protected with .htaccess rules.
Edit the config.php file or create a new file and name it like config.mydomain.php. This way you can have multiple configurations.
The options are self explanatory.
Go to the cron job tab on your CPanel and add the command to run every week.
php -q /home/cpanelusername/.lescript/index.php config=mydomainOr call it from a browser
mydomain.com/ressl.php?config=mydomain- PHP 5.4 and up
