Apache and Nginx's ACME authentication pass kill

Let all requests that link to acme-challenge directory files be linked to a specific folder.

Apache
Represents all websites, if the folder opens /.well-known/acme-challenge/, it will open the directory I specified /home/nginx/acme- challenge/.well-known/acme-challenge/

Alias /.well-known/acme-challenge/ "/home/nginx/acme -challenge/.well-known/acme-challenge/"

Nginx
Represents the web page connection /.well-known/acme-challenge/, The root directory of the website is /home/nginx/acme-challenge

location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    default_type "text/plain";
    root /home/nginx/acme-challenge;
}

Some people may be curious about what to do with this, I will roughly explain my situation, super old host, no Docker can not install HAProxy or certbo, only apache and nginx.
But I need to automatically apply for and update the certificate on the host, so I let the host mount the folder on another host that can run the certbot program through NFS, and let the verification file generated by him be generated directly In the /home/nginx/acme-challenge/.well-known/acme-challenge/ directory on the old host,
the webpage can be successfully verified and the certificate can be obtained.

When there are a lot of vhosts, you can all eat the same folder, instead of creating a directory for each vhost website.

Perfect SSL certificate automatic update environment (HAProxy plus certbot)

HAProxy's reloading speed is very fast, and I don't feel that there is a restart. It is really convenient for all credentials to be handled by HAProxy. Host environment requirements, please confirm that you have the following two instructions (How to install Ubuntu? apt-get install -y haproxy cerbot, I guess, if not, please Google)

Fix the problem that CentOS6.x can no longer be updated

There may still be some old programs in some places, which can only run the old system. But you want to be able to execute and install some desired packages, you may try this method. Please note that if this system is important to you, please evaluate it yourself. It is recommended that you have a Docker environment and have a backup image before trying it.

Ubuntu ppp0 renamed eth0

Not sure who will use it, but I encountered it myself, because my home is a floating IP. A software I installed cannot detect that the ppp0 network card is an external network, so changing the name can trick him into successfully installing it.
