Issuing new certificate failed: dehydrated failure

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: portal.admm.co

I ran this command: with openresty issued

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): openresty

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: aws

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):no

Hi.

I redacted the HOOK_SECRET variable(s) from your post, if that’s okay. My understanding is that the OpenResty API endpoint it protects shouldn’t be publicly accessible anyway, and search engines have probably already archived this post, but still.

Credit to @jmorahan for pointing it out.

As for the reason you posted, I don’t know, sorry. :grimacing:

This seems like it might be the root cause: You appear to have incorrect ownership or incorrect permission on some of the files associated with openresty. Or maybe openresty expects to run as root but is not running as root?

yes it might be the root cause.
but my openresty is running as container, so it will be root user
but the worker running with nobody user, that’s wired and I don’t know how to change

user root; is not support on openresty container lol

What do the openresty docs have to say about file ownership and permissions?
