I want say very short steps to make you page secure SSL with "Let's Encrypt"

Free-SSL

Our case, we consider a server where we have ssh access, and we can modify configuration files from apache and restart services.

First step, install certbot.
yum install certbot

Second, request key for you webpage:
certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html/roundcubemail/ -d webmail.your-domain.com

If you run for the first time here, you will get some questions:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None
Enter email address (used for urgent renewal and security notices) (Enter 'c' to
cancel): [email protected]
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org

Please read the Terms of Service at
https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf. You must
agree in order to register with the ACME server at
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

(A)gree/(C)ancel: A

Next step you will get the key !

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/webmail.your-domain.com/fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/webmail.your-domain.com/privkey.pem
Your cert will expire on 2018-10-07. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot
again. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run
"certbot renew"
Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
