First, you need an HTTPS certificate. [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) is a free, automated, and open Certificate Authority that provides completely free HTTPS certificates.

Assuming you have a valid email address at `email@example.com`, and want to serve The Lounge at `https://thelounge.example.com`, run these commands on your server:

```
git clone https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt
cd letsencrypt/
./letsencrypt-auto certonly --standalone --email email@example.com -d thelounge.example.com
```
**Visit**: The [Certbot Guide](https://certbot.eff.org/) website on how to correctly generate your free SSL certificate for each operating system.

You can visit the [Certbot website](https://certbot.eff.org/) for instructions on how to correctly generate your free SSL certificate for each operating system.


Follow the instructions on screen. This should generate a private key, as well as your HTTPS certificate that will expire after 90 days.
