Certbot renew - symlink fail error

Help

@Amit

If your docker container is ephemeral (temporary), you really want to create your certificates outside of the docker container so that you're not continually creating and deleting certificates, resulting in getting rate limited by Let's Encrypt.

If we knew all the subdomains you need, we could just try something like this...

sudo certbot --cert-name sprigsys.com --nginx -d "sprigsys.com,www.sprigsys.com,slmg.sprigsys.com" --keep

@griffin The fact nginx runs in a docker container doesn't mean certbot does too. Could very well be, but not jump to conclusions here :wink:

Quite so. Wishful thinking. :slightly_smiling_face:

Finally i got the new certs successfully, before the old expires...just 12 min earlier to that...
Thanks for all your help.
