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. crt.sh | 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:footie.ddns.net:93
I ran this command:na
It produced this output:na
My web server is (include version):apache2
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):debian buster
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:no-ip
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):
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):na
Before I spend a lot of time maybe wasted, can you confirm that i can install letsencrypt ssl certs on my apache2 webserver with a free no-ip domain name givin me https protection. Thanks for your help...
you need to control either port 80 or 443, tho. you can install the certificate on 93, but you must use 80 or 443 to perform the validation. (or use the dns challenge by adding a txt record from the no-ip interface -- but you should use a verification method that can renew your certificate without human intervention, like http-01 on port 80)
Hi, many thanks for your very quick reply. I have never done this before, are there any instructions anywhere on how to do this please (ive been on no-ip and no real help there for me). Your help is appreciated. Kind regards Don...
Hi, I get the following error:
$ sudo ln -s /snap/bin/certbot /usr/bin/certbot
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/certbot': File exists
The file does exist and it was created back in 2020...can I delete this file and run the command again or shall I just continue as the file does exist ?? many thanks Don...
opppps, (very red faced) ...to be honest cant ever remember installing it. Can i go back and uninstall it all and start again ? sudo apt-get remove certbot , sudo dnf remove certbot , or sudo yum remove certbot
I did do the link creation again and it worked but!!!
