This article covers installing a standard Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate (not a wildcard) for websites hosted in a Lightsail instance with a Bitnami stack. Examples of these instance blueprints include WordPress, LAMP, Magento, and MEAN. If you have a different instance blueprint or want to install a wildcard certificate, see one of the following:

Resolution
Bitnami provides their own HTTPS configuration tool, bncert-tool, for installing standard Let’s Encrypt certificates. Bitnami stacks released after May 10, 2019 include bncert-tool by default.
The bncert-tool tool automatically performs the following procedures:
- Configures HTTPS certificates on Bitnami stacks.
- Creates automatic certificate renewals.
- Sets up HTTP to HTTPS redirections.
Run the following command to launch the Bitnami HTTPS configuration tool:
sudo /opt/bitnami/bncert-toolreference:
