I’m in a pickle. As I see has happened to many people, our digital certificate expired. In our case, however, our one IT person has been way out of town since before it happened (basically “off the grid”). I’m trying to figure this out so we can have our website back as quickly as possible but don’t even know where to look for some of the information needed. Any advice you would have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
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: saron.org
I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run
It produced this output: root@saron:~# sudo certbot renew --dry-run

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): I think so, at least the “command prompts” in the above output said “root”.
