This is a generic question about removing a second cert. History: I created a cert with certbot, and let it expire purely by accident. I then created a new cert. At that point, I then had xyz.com cert and xyz.com-0001 cert. At some point I issued a renewal command, and apparently both certs got…

[image] rl5000: Should I delete the xyz.com-0001 certificate? Probably. [image] rl5000: How do I properly delete the xyz.com-0001 certificate and all its subdirectories/data/keys,...? certbot delete --cert-name xyz.com-0001. You'll want to make sure that cert isn't used by any of you…

Welcome @rl5000 Well, normally a -0001 profile is not created unless it is materially different than the original. So, it would be helpful to understand what is different. And @danb35 beat me to the part about delete. The essential thing is to identify each place your cert(s) are used and which …

[image] MikeMcQ: So, it would be helpful to understand what is different. Agreed. certbot certificates will show the two certs, and you'll be able to see if there are any differences (other than the dates).

Please note that older versions of Certbot had poor detection of existing certificates and would lead to duplicate certificate names with -0001 and -0002 et c. way more often than more recent versions of Certbot. If you're not running Certbot 2.11.0, please update.

certbot --version -> 1.21.0 (I will update. I thought the system apt update/upgrade would have handled this, but I will manually upgrade certbot after posting this reply.) certbot certificates: Key Type is the same for both,, domains the same, expiry dates slightly different by about an hour, and…

[image] rl5000: I will update. I thought the system apt update/upgrade would have handled this The Certbot team recommend using their snap installation Certbot Tagline

Well let me ask you both a bit more: I have confirmed that I have two installations: 1.21.0 via apt, and 2.11.0 via snap. If I simply run the command certbot --version, the return is "1.21.0", so I know the apt version is the binary being used. I'm ready to uninstall the apt version, and only use …

[image] rl5000: I have no idea what the command is to launch the snap certbot Well, once you've completed the steps on that site I linked it would just be sudo certbot certonly ... just as before [image] rl5000: If I can get that to be my answer, you can bet I will cron job this Wel…

I am making progress, thanks to the help from you guys on this board. Following the wildcard steps from the certbot builder page, I have made a few mods to my system: 1) created the recommended symlink to the snap executable, 2) formally installed the certbot-dns-linode plugin within snap, and 3)exe…
