Make video about redirect ip to domain name in lightsail

[@danielotto]

Hi there, this is covered in a previous video of mine in the AWS playlist - See my video 'Connect a domain to AWS lightsail' :)

[@kandredfpv]

Awesome, thanks for this. Was about to follow the documentation and setup a LightSail distribution when I thought "there must be an easier way". 😂

[@shyiamnot212]

It can also be used for Wordpress instance.

[@ChefDawg]

thank you so much!

[@alexanderobrien9300]

Great videos by the way, Is it possible to give the IP address an SSL cert as well? if so how?

[@danielotto]

Hi Alex thanks for your feedback. As far as I know, the Let's Encrypt CA doesn't support non DNS / Domain addresses so you would need to use something like a self-signed certificate for that. Hope this helps :)

[@kevindiakimuntu1380]

Thank you for this video

[@hourglassmedia5814]

thanks this is great. However, it is only 3 months, how do i renew it or make it none expiring?

[@j05hify]

Hi Daniel, great Video, this worked a treat. However, for some reason when viewing on mobile it's not secure. I have installed the SSL CERT on 2 different sites I'm building and neither of them is secure on mobile. Please Help.

[@ronaldk4225]

Good job. Great Video

[@exergameeddicts5553]

Hello what about the renewal of the SSL Certificate is it automatic?

[@danielotto]

Using this method with the bncert tool , yes SSL certificate is automatically renewed - How good! :)

[@necatib9463]

very useful, simple, and straightforward, thank you, man!

[@davidmurphy563]

Oh, you're using bncert rather than let's encrypt. It seems easier, and quicker - I'm still waiting for the dns to propagate...
This even is let's encrypt. And you don't have to renew. This is so much better than messing about with keys in the dns. It worked instantly, just took a moment to update it. You're a legend dude!
