where to get a good and free ssl certificate?
I googled https://letsencrypt.org , but it offers installation via certbot from EFF - this is not safe, in my opinion (because passwords are trusted to a third party, which does not understand what and how exactly it will do on the server in automatic mode
) only a certificate is needed, and I will install it manually myself.
Where can I get it (certificate)?

No passwords are trusted to anyone, you just do not understand what you are writing about.
It is LE that is the correct and only option.
The startssl suggested above has been kicked out of trust in Fx and Chrome for fraud.

You are in vain. This is not a compiled program, from which there are no sources, and not a very complex script that is in the public domain - https://github.com/certbot/certbot. If there was any catch in terms of security, there would be a lot of noise.
2. You can easily get a letsencrypt certificate by hand, only it is more difficult and you will have to repeat it every 3 months (their certificate seems to be valid for so long).
3. There is StartSSL. They have tasty certificates for 3 years, but there has been some noise recently https://geektimes.ru/post/281188/. I have their certificates obtained in the summer - they work fine.

If you are afraid to run someone else's script, then run it in docker and take ready-made certificates.

Nowhere. This is to be expected, in fact - the market for certificates is thick and huge. "The monster is oblo, mischievous, huge, stozevno and barking" (C) A. Radishchev
LE I just don’t like it for the reason that something will edit my configs, which are generally written for ease of reading by me. I have a very sad experience of trusting the system to edit configs - in FreeBSD this autocorrect will do this with /etc/rc.conf - then you wonder...
