                Let's Encrypt offers the ability to issue SSL certificates through the use of multiple ACME clients. Certbot is the most commonly used, so this is the one I mostly investigated and tested.

                The certbot docs show detailed information regarding the use of the tool, which is command line based, however, provides a step-wise procedure with prompts and questions that the user can answer. These relate to the certificate information and the particular domains that certificates should be created for. A * certificate can also be easily created.

                Certbot provides multiple plugins that can be used to create certificates for and configure certain applications e.g. apache for automatic certificate renewal. A good location to install certbot and have it monitor our * certificate for required renewal would be the bioviz server, as that is our main one that is usually running.

                Probably the problems we have had with IGB not being able to load certain resources via HTTPS was that the file's site maintainers messed up the above process for their Web site.
