Letsencrypt-auto renew occurs error

[asnike]

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:

노트폴리오 - 크리에이티브 네트워크

I ran this command:
letsencrypt-auto renew

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):
apache2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
ubuntu-14.04-64-server

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Ncloud

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 @asnike

@asnike

I ran this command:
letsencrypt-auto renew

your domain works with http / https, the certificate is created today with the two standard domain names

DNS-Name: notefolio.net
DNS-Name: www.notefolio.net

So it looks that you have fixed the timeout error of your tls-sni-01 - validation.

There are already two certificates created today:

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:www.notefolio.net;issuer_uid:4428624498008853827&lu=cert_search

You can create max. 5 certificates, then you must wait one week.

Additional: The tls-sni-01 - validation is deprecated. So try to use (your server sends apache header)

letsencrypt-auto renew --apache

to use your existing webserver. And you may add a redirect http -> https.

Hoping not to hijack a thread but this actually helped me with a similar problem but my mail server uses nginx for the webmail options. My auto renew shell was working in July but no more. I changed:
./certbot-auto --config /etc/letsencrypt/configs/my_real_domain.conf certonly (where my_real_domain is replaced with my actual domain)

To:
./letsencrypt-auto renew --nginx and it works now.

Of course I use these same certs in /etc/letsencrypt for dovecot and webmin as well as nginx. This changed way knows where the config file is.

I was dismayed when I opened my email client and got the cert warning. The cron driven update script tried to run on the 1st but it failed and I did not know it. Thanks!

@dwstudeman, the recommended form is just ./certbot-auto renew. All of the other associated information for all certificates should be saved automatically and used for the renewal process.

OK, I see now, ./certbot-auto renew is all I needed on my update script. I tested and it does indeed work without all the other stuff. My original certonly flag probably did not help.
