This assumes you have created one or more certificates using Certbot. If not, check out my articles:
- Create standalone public private key pair using Certbot
- Create wildcard public private key pair using GoDaddy and Certbot
Let's say you have have something like this.
~]$ sudo ls -l /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 Jul 17 10:34 cert.pem -> ../../archive/example.com/cert.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jul 17 10:34 chain.pem -> ../../archive/example.com/chain.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Jul 17 10:34 fullchain.pem -> ../../archive/example.com/fullchain.pem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jul 17 10:34 privkey.pem -> ../../archive/example.com/privkey.pem
The certbot certificates command can be used to get a brief summary of each of your Certbot certificates.
