How do I install an SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt on a Bitnami stack that's hosted on Amazon Lightsail?
I want to install an SSL certificate for my website in an Amazon Lightsail instance that has a Bitnami stack.
Resolution
To install a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for websites that are hosted in a Lightsail instance with a Bitnami stack, use Bitnami's HTTPS configuration tool. The HTTPS configuration tool automatically performs the following procedures:
- Configures HTTPS certificates on Bitnami stacks
- Creates automatic certificate renewals
- Sets up HTTP to HTTPS redirections
To launch the Bitnami HTTPS configuration tool, run the following command:
sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-tool
Note: Make sure that the domain in the DNS records points to the IP address of your Lightsail instance.
Note: You can't use the bncert-tool command to create wildcard certificates. See How do I install a wildcard Let's Encrypt SSL certificate in a Bitnami stack hosted on Amazon Lightsail?

This WON'T WORK. LightSail instances default to an ipv6 address resolution and the bncert-tool DOES NOT know HOW to support ipv6.
