  • @justoverclock Seems your _acme-challenge DNS record is missing ?

  • @phenomlab didn’t touch anything from your last visit 👀

  • @justoverclock Very odd. Let me have a look at another way

  • @justoverclock I have installed the --nginx version of certbot on your server as per
    https://sudonix.com/post/689

    It’s showing that the renewal will work, but the rate-limit is currently still enforced, so we still need to wait.

    IMPORTANT NOTES:
     - 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.
    root@justoverclock:/home/justoverclock#
    
  • @justoverclock should be resolved now

    As a side note, this renewal won’t show in Virtualmin unless it is requested from there. This is done from the command line, so

    1. SSH into the server
    2. Change to root
    3. Execute certbot --nginx and follow the prompts
  • phenomlabundefined phenomlab has marked this topic as solved on
  • @phenomlab so this is the command that i need to use everytime my certificate expire? thank you, precious as always

  • @justoverclock Not necessarily. You only need to use this if it fails from the Virtualmin window
