Action required: Let's Encrypt certificate renewals

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: sgainacirsa.ddns.net

I ran this command:
certbot --version
certbot 0.14.2

certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

new certificate deployed with reload of apache server; fullchain is

** DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry

Congratulations, all renewals succeeded. The following certs have been renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/sgainacirsa.ddns.net/fullchain.pem (success)
** DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry
** (The test certificates above have not been saved.)

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.7

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 14.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

Should I update Certbot?
Thanks!

Hi @panambi

first update your certbot.

Then

add --preferred-challenges http to switch to http - validation.

Your main configuration ( sgainacirsa.ddns.net - Make your website better - DNS, redirects, mixed content, certificates )

looks ok, because /.well-known/acme-challenge is there, port 80 is open and there is the expected http status 404 (file not found, because it's a not existing file).

I’ll try that. Thanks!!
