Greetings!
I have Apache2 on Windows home server 2011 self hosting 3 sites.
(thedce.com, happyhome.org and oihelp.com)
I have many times run certbot to renew the certificate(s).
All worked fine for years.
I recently moved one of the sites (happyhome.org) to a separate Linux machine (OpenSuse Leap 15.6) with Apache2 and have a Let's Encript active certificate there.
Now I want to renew the certificate for just the two remaining sites (thedce.com and oihelp.com)
Is this possible?
Or, must I setup the site fresh for 2 domains?
Appreciate our help!
Great product/service.
A renewal is simply a request for a new certificate the contains the identical names matching those in the existing certificate. This means thay you cannot renew if the names have changed. You will need to request new certificates with the appropriate names.
You will also need to replace certbot on Windows as it was discontinued early this year. Your certbot version really ought to be updated, too. Certbot 3.0.1 is current. I don't see any certbot release version numbered 1.5.0, though, so maybe you aren't referencing the right number.
Since you are using Apache, you may want to consider switching to mod_md as your ACME client.
@paxton I think you can run something like certbot --cert-name <name> -d <domain to remove>
You can run certbot certificates to see your certificate list and get the name that certbot uses for it.
Time to decommission that old server though, or at least change the OS, you don't really want to have something that old connected to the internet. End of Life for Home Server 2011 was 2016.
Thank you!
Pretty much what I expected. Have to setup again like the first time.
certbot --version returned 1.5.0. No doubt, but It is very old. If it ain't broke......
run the command every 3 months for years. Works great.
I appreciate the linux certbot version and install. All automatic and setup the cron job to renew.
Eventually, will move all sites to a linux environment, but complicated for thedce.com.
Thanks, Christopher.
I'll try those certbot commands today.
I know the OS is pretty dated. I run it behind ipfire and only port 80 and 443 can get to it... I hope.
I thought about using Window 10 pro but have not found a definitive list of services to disable to use as a server.
Anyhow working on moving it all to opensuse leap.
I'm retired, now this is mostly hobby work.
Really appreciate you and others time to offer ideas and help.
Have fun,
Paxton
