The Snap Store will undergo scheduled database maintenance on July 5, 2026 22:00 to July 6, 02:00 UTC. During this time, you will not be able to install or update snaps. No user action is required and services will automatically resume once maintenance is complete.
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.
