These instructions are for implementing HTTPS on a NFSN-hosted static site using a certificate from Let's Encrypt. The certificate is generated manually on a separate computer.

Start off by installing the letsencrypt client. This requires sudo privileges and will install a bunch of packages:

% curl -O https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
% chmod +x ./certbot-auto
% ./certbot-auto

Generate the certificate. This will require you to publish some challenge responses on NFSN. I find it easiest to use tmux with letsencrypt running in one window and an SSH session to NFSN in another:

	from datetime import datetime
	from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, DateTime, ForeignKey
	from sqlalchemy.orm import relationship
	from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declared_attr
	from flask_security import current_user


	class AuditMixin(object):
	created_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now)
	updated_at = Column(DateTime, default=datetime.now, onupdate=datetime.now)
