You should be able to edit now. We do have an existing page on this already, http://wiki.helionet.org/Installing_a_Let%27s_Encrypt_SSL_Certificate

 

Perhaps create a new page on how to do it with your method since yours varies quite a bit from the existing one?

However, for users on Ricky and soon on Johnny you can just use the AutoSSL feature giving you free cPanel signed SSL certificates.

Not anymore on Johnny.

Johnny had AutoSSL enabled accidentally when it was recently rebuilt. We've never offered it on Johnny, and removed it when it was noticed. We don't offer it on Johnny due to the amount of load that SSL causes. AutoSSL use a decent amount of resources to process certificates and all the actual SSL connections to websites are very resource hungry (when compared to plain HTTP).

 

SSL does work on Johnny if a user provides their own certs, but not providing the certificates helps reduce load by reducing the number of people on that server who use SSL connections to only those who make the effort to set it up.
