How can I renew my cert? I throw error, is it because I use CDN?

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:
ichimura.uk
www.ichimura.uk

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --force-renew -d ichimura.uk -d www.ichimura.uk
(also tried sudo ./certbot-auto certonly --force-renew -d ichimura.uk -d www.ichimura.uk)

It produced this output:

$ sudo certbot certonly --force-renew -d ichimura.uk -d www.ichimura.uk

Hi,

Yes. It’s because of the CDN (as well as a depreciated protocol in Let’s Encrypt)

Since you are using a TLS binding CDN as well as the protocol, the best way to change this is to add this flag after the command. (--preferred-challenges http) It would process that in http instead of TLS-SNI-01.

The command you run (at this time) should be:
sudo certbot certonly --force-renew -d ichimura.uk -d www.ichimura.uk --preferred-challenges http

For renewals after this time, run sudo certbot renew

Thank you

Thank you for your quick response.
It still returns

   To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
   entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
   contain(s) the right IP address.

At the moment, apex domain points at anycast ips of CDN. And www cnamed map name of the CDN.
Do you have any other suggestions by any chance?

Full output is below.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I’m sorry but I have no experience with fastly…

There might be a possible way to archive validation by set a no-cache to the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ folder… But I’m not sure wheather this will work or not…

Apologize…

Neither the CDN, nor the redirections, should make any significant impact.
The content is new and must be retrieved from the original source and LE should follow the redirections.

You need to ensure that things placed into the acme-challenge folder can be correctly reached from the Internet.
To that end, please place a test.txt file in the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ folder:
https://www.ichimura.uk/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.txt

Also…
Given:

You will only be securing the connection form the CDN to your server - which can probably be done in other ways (maybe even simpler).
