Using ACME to request certificates

If you would rather use ACME to request certificates then you can use the ACME install script. 

Download the Script

curl https://get.acme.sh | sh

Request a Certificate

~/.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue -d your-domain.com --webroot /var/www/html --server https://ca.dc.gen.network/acme/acme/directory--insecure

This will request a certificate for your-domain.com and install in the webroot /var/www/html. It will attempt to verify the site is correct and reachable. 

If you don't have a running webserver, then you can use standalone mode: 

~/.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue -d your-domain.com --standalone --server https://ca.dc.gen.network/acme/acme/directory--insecure

This will spool up a server on port 80 and make the request that way but you'll need to put the certificate, chain and root in the right places manually.
