certbot.errors.AuthorizationError: Some challenges have failed

Hi folks,

I’m trying to go through this tuto and I get weird behaviors.
For the record, I spent 5 hours on it before posting here, not 5 minutes.

Please find my main files:

init-letsencrypt.sh

#!/bin/bash

  echo 'Error: docker-compose is not installed.' >&2

if [ -d "$data_path" ]; then
  read -p "Existing data found for $domains. Continue and replace existing certificate? (y/N) " decision

### Reloading nginx ...
2019/11/08 16:35:12 [notice] 10#10: signal process started

Before Press Enter to Continue I discovered that a file is written:

data/certbot/www/.well-known/acme-challenge/dvDDPLEGxXGzDcOMIp2mF-U6bH1u82te3wjysJebbU4

Is anyone has an idea/advice/suggestion?
At this stage, any help is more than welcome!

Hi @Vivian

please share your domain name so it's possible to check your domain.

My domain name is:
projo.ocus.com

Your domain doesn’t answer - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=projo.ocus.com

Domainname Http-Status redirect Sec. G

Creating a Letsencrypt certificate via http validation: A working port 80 webserver is required.

Works it internal? If yes, there may be a firewall or another blocking instance.

There

is another user, same tutorial, the same problem.

Perhaps the tutorial is incomplete.

Really interesting!
Thanks for your investigation!
I created an issue on the Github repository.
As soon as I get an answer, I’ll keep you updated.

I already solved my issue.
The tutorial was fine. I just accidentally erased a word in the configuration file. :slightly_smiling_face:

Ah, thanks for reporting back, good to know. Happens :wink:

I’m wondering if the problem comes from nginx.

Just before to launch the challenge:

I double check if I have my key:
2
:white_check_mark:

My images are running:


:white_check_mark:

But I only have my tcp6 opened:

Is it ok for the challenge?

Checked your domain - you don’t have an ipv6 - address - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=projo.ocus.com

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
projo.ocus.com A 157.230.115.5 Frankfurt am Main/Hesse/Germany (DE) - DigitalOcean, LLC No Hostname found yes 1 0
AAAA yes

There is only one ipv4. If your nginx handles only ipv6 -> that can’t work.

Sorry, I’m currently working on it :confused:

Thank you for your time and your patience @jurgenhaas
