Integrating LetsEncrypt with WordPress without CPanel
-
I am doing some work for a charitable trust who have asked me to integrate LetsEncrypt with their self-hosted WordPress sites, in such a way that we can automate the certificate installation and renewal process.
The preferred way to do this, according to the LetsEncrypt website (https://letsencrypt.org/getting-started) is to install the CertBot ACME client on the web server. I am not able to do this, because I don’t have remote access via SSH, and our web hosting provider won’t give it to me. They do not support LetsEncrypt, and won’t install the software for me.
I see that there are several WordPress plugins which provide LetsEncrypt functionality for WordPress, however most of these seem to require CPanel, which we don’t have.
What I’m looking for is a WordPress plugin which does not require CPanel or SSH access to install, and which provides automated certificate issue, installation and renewal.
The closest thing I’ve found seems to be this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-install-free-ssl – BUT according to the documentation this will still require manual installation of the certificate, which will be a lot of hassle when we have 8 or 9 websites that use 90 day certificates.Any suggestions would be very welcome.
