I’m getting the error
2018-10-09 14:03:53,540:INFO:main:1211: Generating new account key
ACME server returned an error: urn:acme:error:rateLimited :: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new registration :: too many registrations for this IP: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
The reason for the issue is that a bug in the software prevented the renewal complete successfully. Because of this, after SSL expiry no the /.well-known requests were being redirected incorrectly.
This was prob compounded by CloudFlare being set to strict, not allowing the server being reachable anymore on port 443. What I would like to know is if the error above is the “you’re blocked for 1 hour rate limit”, or the “you’re blocked for a week rate limit”. In which case, obviously, we have a more serious problem.
Also, how can I test it so we don’t “try our way into a rate limit issue” again.
My domain is:
bitesdaretoshare.com
I ran this command:
dokku letsencrypt
It produced this output:
