I want to host some simple .NET Core Web API applications under a real HTTPS domain. This article describes my foray into doing exactly this with a Digital Ocean Droplet. Except for the creation of the VM, the steps described here apply to other VM providers such as Azure or AWS as well. The SSL certificate is generated using LetsEncrypt and the certbot utility.

All my life I have been passionate about architecture / software design, as this is the cornerstone to a maintainable and extensible application. As such, I have enjoyed exploring some crazy ideas and discovering that they are not so crazy after all. I also love writing about my ideas and seeing the community response. As a consultant, I've enjoyed working in a wide range of industries such as aerospace, boatyard management, remote sensing, emergency services / data management, and casino operations. I've done a variety of pro-bono work non-profit organizations related to nature conservancy, drug recovery and women's health.
