Certbot is one of the official tools mentioned by Let's Encrypt that automates the process of generating an SSL certificate. Because this software is not an official debian package, we must add it by editing the sources.list file.

sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

You must add the following line to the end of the file.

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian buster-backports main

After this, you can update the package list and install it.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install python-certbot-apache -t buster-backports
