Hi @JuergenAuer,

Thanks for the reply, I tried and got following output. Looks like it didn’t renew.

```auto
certbot certonly --manual -d 'relationmonitor.dk,*.relationmonitor.dk'

```

sudo certbot certonly --manual -d ‘relationmonitor.dk,\*.relationmonitor.dk’  
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Starting new HTTPS connection (1): [acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org](http://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org)  
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
