It automates the process of obtaining a domain-validated TLS certificate from Let's Encrypt and installing it into your nginx configuration. The plugin handles the ACME challenge process by modifying nginx configuration temporarily to prove domain ownership, then deploys the certificate and restores the original configuration.\n\nThis package is intended for system administrators running nginx on Linux who want to automate HTTPS setup and renewal without manual certificate management. It requires root access to the web server and must be run directly on the machine hosting nginx. The plugin integrates with Certbot's broader ecosystem, supporting certificate revocation, automatic renewal, and configuration rollback if something goes wrong.","worth_installing":"Yes\u2014if you run nginx on Linux and want to use Let's Encrypt certificates. The plugin is production-stable, actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and requires only Certbot as a dependency. Install it when you need to automate certificate lifecycle management for nginx; skip it if you use a different web server or prefer manual certificate handling."},"id":"certbot-nginx","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/certbot-nginx","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/certbot-nginx.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/certbot-nginx/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-15","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"certbot-nginx","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Nginx plugin for Certbot"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":133589,"position":11502,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.7.0"}
