#### Automatically configure HTTPS using Let's Encrypt

The objective of Certbot, Let's Encrypt, and the ACME (Automated
Certificate Management Environment) protocol is to make it possible
to set up an HTTPS server and have it automatically obtain a
browser-trusted certificate, without any human intervention. This is
accomplished by running a certificate management agent on the web
server.

This agent is used to:

* Automatically prove to the Let's Encrypt CA that you control the website
* Obtain a browser-trusted certificate and set it up on your web server
* Keep track of when your certificate is going to expire, and renew it
* Help you revoke the certificate if that ever becomes necessary.
